PENDEKATAN DEEP LEARNING DALAM PEMBELAJARAN IPS SD KELAS AWAL DI SD CITRA BAKTI

Abstract

The application of a deep learning approach is a very important concern in the renewal of the Independent Curriculum. There are three main principles emphasized, namely mindful learning, meaningful learning, and joyful learning. This study aims to describe the application of the deep learning approach in Social Science (IPS) learning for low-grade students at SD Citra Bakti. The research method used is qualitative descriptive, with data collection techniques that include direct observation of the learning process and semi-structured interviews with classroom teachers. The findings of the study show that teachers apply a deep learning approach through three stages of learning syntax, namely emotional perception, contextual exploration, and meaningful reflection. These stages are realized through triggering questions, the use of concrete media such as family photos, the implementation of differentiated learning, as well as case-based assessments and oral assessments for students who have limited written literacy. This approach has a positive influence on the critical thinking skills, courage to express opinions, and social sensitivity of low-grade students. The main obstacle experienced by teachers is the limitation of literacy skills in students aged 7-8 years, this obstacle is overcome through assessment flexibility in line with the principles of the Independent Curriculum.
