The Concept of Deep Learning in the Perspective of Philosophy and Its Implementation in Schools

This research explores the concept of deep learning in the context of Indonesian education, with a focus on the integration of Western and Islamic philosophy education principles. Deep learning prioritizes students’ active involvement, critical thinking, and the application of knowledge in the real world, which can be improved through mindful learning, meaningful learning, and joyful learning. This study is based on the fact that the education system in Indonesia is still far behind that of developed countries and on the other hand still fails to instill spiritual and moral values. This research aims to develop an integrative framework that combines the two educational philosophies, to create a more holistic and relevant approach to learning. The method used is a literature study with thematic analysis to explore Western and Islamic educational theories and their application in the curriculum and learning strategies in Indonesia. The findings of the study show that the integration of Western and Islamic philosophy can be done by developing an integrative curriculum and learning strategies that emphasize student activism. This concept results in learning that focuses not only on cognitive development but also on students’ character, emotional skills, and social responsibility.
