<![CDATA[The purpose of this study was to determine the location of learning difficulties and the factors that cause difficulties in learning algebraic structures experienced by students so that the value of algebraic structures is better and satisfying, so that students are motivated to take algebraic structures courses. The research subjects taken were fourth semester students of the Mathematics Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Sam Ratulangi University in the 2018/2019 academic year. Data collection methods used are documentation method, test method, observation method and interview method. The documentation method was used to obtain data about the list of student names that were used as research subjects. The test method is used to obtain data on student completion in the algebraic structure course. The observation method is used to determine the objective conditions during teaching and learning activities of algebraic structures and to determine the factors that can affect the learning process. While the interview method is carried out to clearly identify the problems faced by students when learning algebraic structures. The location of students' difficulties in learning algebraic structures is in the problem solving, concepts and skills sections. The highest difficulty experienced by students is in the problem solving section with a percentage of 62.5%. Another difficulty experienced by students is difficulty in concepts with a percentage of 50%. The last difficulty experienced by students was difficulty in skills with a percentage of 45.7%.]]>
