Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Deputy Minister of Primary and Secondary\nEducation, Fajar Riza Ul Haq, has invited teachers to become \u2018learning\narchitects\u2019 capable of designing meaningful, contextual, and relevant\nlearning experiences through a deep learning approach.<\/p>\n
He explained that deep learning is not a new curriculum, but rather a\nteaching approach focused on the processes of understanding, applying,\nand reflecting on knowledge. \u201cDeep learning is a teaching method. It is\nabout how students understand, implement, and then reflect on what they\nhave learned. Therefore, it is not merely about chasing the volume of\nmaterial taught, but ensuring that children truly understand what they\nare learning,\u201d stated Deputy Minister Fearing in a written statement in\nJakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n
Through this approach, he noted, students will not only receive\ninformation but will be able to process and connect it with their daily\nlives. Furthermore, Fajar assessed that enhancing teacher competence is\na key factor in addressing various educational challenges still faced by\nvarious regions.<\/p>\n
Based on data held by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary\nEducation, the average duration of schooling in Garut Regency remains\nbelow the national average, and dropout rates remain a shared concern\nrequiring collaboration from various parties. He likened the learning\nprocess to food that must be chewed before being digested by the body.\nIf material is provided without giving students the space to understand\nand process it, learning becomes merely a transfer of information that\nleaves no profound meaning.<\/p>\n
He added that quality education should not be oriented solely towards\ncurriculum completion or administrative achievements, but must ensure\nthat the knowledge acquired by students can be fully understood,\nretained in memory, and applied in real life. Consequently, the process\nof reflection becomes a vital part of learning.<\/p>\n
At the same opportunity, he also emphasised that teachers need to\nshift from one-way teaching patterns to approaches that encourage active\nstudent involvement. Students, he said, should not merely be listeners\nbut must be given space to ask questions, discuss, explore, and build\nunderstanding independently.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy message to teachers and school principals is: be learning\narchitects, not learning operators. An operator merely repeats the same\nprocess, whereas an architect possesses the creativity and innovation to\npresent meaningful learning experiences for children,\u201d concluded Deputy\nMinister Fajar.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/deputy-minister-of-primary-and-secondary-education-teachers-should-become-learning-architects-via-deep-1780915564", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
