Elementary schools are one of the educational institutions that implement the online learning system. Indeed, this affects the student's learning interests as they are required to learn from home. This study used the qualitative description method. This study aims to identify the student's learning interests during the implementation of online learning. The results of the study showed that the students tended to have lower learning interests during the pandemic.
