This study aims to identify the level of knowledge of primary school teachers towards the primary schools’ learning and facilitation (L&F) of differentiated learning approach and identify the level of implementation of L&F of differentiated learning approach among primary school teachers. The concept of Differentiated Instruction Pedagogy introduced by Carol Ann Tomlinson in 1995 was used as a basis for the implementation of this study. The design of this study used non-experimental survey research. The researcher used a questionnaire instrument in the form of a Likert scale in Google Form for this study. Three main factors were given priority in the study, namely, student readiness, student interests, and learning profile. The findings of this study show that the pedagogical implementation of differentiated learning is very high among primary school teachers. They are sensitive to the educational changes in Malaysia and are ready to fight to implement quality L&F.
