RELEVANSI KURIKULUM DEEP LEARNING DALAM KONTEKS PENDIDIKAN INDONESIA

Abstract

The Deep Learning curriculum is an educational approach that emphasizes deep understanding, critical thinking, and complex problem-solving through the integration of 21st-century skills. In the context of Indonesian education, the relevance of this curriculum is increasingly significant amid the demands of globalization and rapid technological advancement. The national curriculum, which still tends to focus on cognitive and rote memorization aspects, faces major challenges in equipping students with the competencies required in the digital era. Implementing the Deep Learning curriculum offers a strategic solution to enhance the quality of learning by prioritizing contextual, collaborative, and reflective learning processes. This approach encourages students to thoroughly understand concepts, connect interdisciplinary knowledge, and communicate ideas critically and creatively. Its implementation requires support from educators with strong pedagogical and digital competencies, as well as a learning environment that fosters exploration and innovation. The relevance of the Deep Learning curriculum also aligns with the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom to Learn) policy initiated by the Indonesian government, which positions students as active participants in the learning process. Therefore, integrating the Deep Learning curriculum serves as a strategic step in developing lifelong learners who are adaptive and competitive on a global scale.
