The method used in this research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. Data collection through interviews, observation and documentation. The results showed that the implementation of differentiated learning in PAI subjects has gone well even though it is still not so optimal. There are obstacles that make the implementation of differentiated learning less optimal such as limited time in learning and lack of human resources.
