Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo (UMPWR) - in order to introduce the deep learning approach in learning, the Physics Study Program Lecturer, Dr. R. Wakhid Akhdinirwanto, M.Si., provided material for SMA Negeri 1 Purworejo (SMANSA) teachers in the Teacher Competency Improvement Workshop with the theme ‘Implementation of Deep Learning in Learning’. The activity which was held in the Multimedia Room of SMANSA on Wednesday, 11 June 2025 was also intended to prepare the teachers for the New Academic Year 2025/2026.
A total of 27 people participated, including the Principal, Vice Principal, and teachers. Previously, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Mendikdasmen RI) defined Deep Learning as an ennobling approach that emphasises the creation of a learning atmosphere and learning process that is conscious, meaningful, and joyful through holistic and integrated thinking, heart, taste, and exercise.
In his presentation, Dr Wakhid explained that there are three learning principles in the Deep Learning framework, namely (1) mindful, (2) meaningful, and (3) joyful. Furthermore, he conveyed the dimensions of the graduate profile according to Michael Fullan, et al, namely (1) Faith and Devotion to God Almighty; (2) Citizenship; (3) Critical reasoning; (4) Creativity; (5) Collaboration; and (6) Communication; while the two additions are (1) Health, and (2) Independence taken from the Functions and Objectives of National Education in Article 3 of Law no. 3 of 2003, so there are 8 dimensions of the graduate profile.
Dr Wakhid on this occasion also gave an example of the application of deep learning in learning Physics, namely by using the PBL model. "For example, to determine the effect of temperature changes on the expansion of solids. Students are asked to conduct an investigation with two variables, namely the independent variable temperature and the dependent variable changes in the length of the metal rod. The data obtained by changing the temperature will get the change in the length of the metal rod, and then analysed. After that, it is presented in front of the class. And followed by a reflection from the teacher", he explained. (akb/KP).
