Analisis Implementasi Pendekatan Deep Learning Pada Kurikulum Merdeka di SD Indriasana Palembang

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the deep learning approach within the
Independent Curriculum at Indriasana Elementary School, Palembang, covering aspects of
planning, implementation, and evaluation, as well as findings of supporting and inhibiting
factors. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques
through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects included
teachers, the principal, and students in grades I, IV, and VI. The results showed that the
implementation of deep learning was carried out through three main stages. In the planning
stage, teachers developed deep learning teaching modules in accordance with the
Independent Curriculum, taking into account student characteristics and designing activities
that encouraged student activeness. In the implementation stage, learning took place in a
varied manner through group discussions, the use of digital media, and provocative
questions that foster critical thinking and two-way interaction. In the evaluation stage,
assessments emphasized the process, conceptual understanding, and character building
through reflection and authentic assessment. Findings of supporting factors included school
support, availability of facilities, and teacher creativity, while inhibiting factors included
limited time, heterogeneity of student abilities, and uneven teacher understanding. Overall,
the implementation of deep learning went well and had a positive impact on student
engagement and understanding.
