Implementation Of Deep Learning Curriculum In Developing Students' Spiritual And Moral Abilities

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of a deep learning curriculum in developing students’ spiritual and moral abilities. The deep learning curriculum emphasizes meaningful learning that encourages deep understanding, reflection, and the integration of knowledge, attitudes, and life values. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design at an educational institution that has implemented the deep learning curriculum in its teaching and learning process. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of instructional documents. The findings indicate that the implementation of the deep learning curriculum contributes positively to the enhancement of students’ spiritual awareness through reflective activities, contextual learning, and the internalization of moral values across subjects. Furthermore, students demonstrated improved moral behaviors, such as honesty, responsibility, empathy, and discipline in their daily lives. However, several challenges were identified, including limited teachers’ understanding of deep learning concepts and students’ readiness for reflective learning activities. Therefore, continuous professional development for teachers and strong institutional support are essential to optimize the implementation of a deep learning curriculum in fostering students’ spiritual and moral development
