Abstract—This study aims to examine the problems in teaching hikayat texts to tenth-grade students under the Merdeka Curriculum and to formulate problem-solving strategies based on the scientific approach. Data were collected through a literature review of relevant studies and scholarly articles. The findings indicate several challenges, including difficulties students face in understanding archaic language, low interest and motivation in learning traditional literary texts, and limited teaching materials that are not fully aligned with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum. Additionally, conventional teacher-centered learning strategies hinder active student participation. The study suggests that implementing a scientific approach—comprising observing, questioning, gathering information, reasoning, and communicating—can enhance student engagement, critical thinking, and comprehension of hikayat texts. By linking the values contained in hikayat with real-life contexts, this approach also fosters appreciation for traditional literary works and supports meaningful, student-centered learning.
