A Deep Learning Approach in the Independent Curriculum

Abstract

Deep Learning is a learning approach that emphasizes in-depth conceptual understanding and mastery of competencies within a narrower scope of material. Students are encouraged to actively engage in the learning process until they understand the topic through a deeper exploration of the topic. This research was designed using the Library Research method. Library research is a research method that examines various theories, hypotheses, and various reference sources related to the values, culture, and standards of living created in the social situation being studied. The deep learning approach aims to create a comprehensive learning experience, where students become more active and involved in the learning process. This approach encourages a shift from traditional learning methods that rely solely on memorization to more creative and meaningful learning. In the independent curriculum, deep learning is used to connect learning concepts, encourage students to solve problems, and utilize technology in the learning process. This learning also creates a fun, meaningful, mindful, and joyful learning atmosphere by involving various aspects, such as thinking (intellectual), ethics (heart), appreciation of beauty (feeling), and active movement (sports) in a unified and comprehensive manner. Deep learning in education focuses on a learning approach that emphasizes understanding and the connection between concepts and knowledge in various situations. This approach involves more cognitive activities, such as analyzing, evaluating, and creating, which motivate students to learn. Deep learning is not only about what we teach, but also how we teach it, making it a relevant and applicable skill in various contexts
