Deep Learning Returns the essence of the role of teachers and schools

Pros and cons of deep learning sticking out among educators after the learning approach was introduced by the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Abdoul Musi, Late last year. Responding to this, Bukik Setiawan, Head of Teacher Learn Foundation, states that deep learning is still in line with the essence of the independent curriculum. Therefore, educators don't have to worry about. Bukik explained, With Deep Learning, students are not just learning in the academic sense (study), but also experienced a deeper and meaningful learning process (learn). "Deep Learning is an effort to increase the relevance of education with real life,"He explained. Differences "Study" and "Learn" further, The educational activist highlighted the Indonesian people who often still view the educational goals to be limited to receiving good test scores. "Students are considered successful in learning when they get a good test score. A good value does show the success of "study" but not necessarily succeed "learning". The success of "learning" when students show mastery of competence,"Bukik said. In education that focuses only on "study", Bukik mentions some characteristics, ie, (1) ready to go to school, (2) Pursue the value value, (3) standardized test (4) memorize, and (5) compliance. "The school has been focused on" study ", This is an educational misconception. Students learn to be ready to continue to the next level by pursuing the value value. The test is standardized, how to pass the exam? Learning low-order thinking, memorize and obey what adults say,he explained. While "learning" is oriented towards mastery of competencies so that students are ready to live. Meaning tests are done to ensure the extent to which competence is achieved. Students not only memorize but reason and independently to achieve their goals. "Study" still needs to be done even so, Bukik asserted if there was nothing wrong with "study". However, "Study" should not be the ultimate goal of education. "For example reasoning, it also requires the ability to memorize. But if it's just enough to memorize, means our students stop at low-order thinking abilities. Even though from a baby, Humans learn high-order thinking, Analyze the surroundings. The child's brain capacity is more than low,he explained. "If the final goal is" study ", then what is needed is not school but tutoring. Deep Learning is an effort to restore the role of teachers and schools to the khittah or essence,"Close the bukik. This coverage was previously published in February 2025.

Teachers have an important role in helping students become sensitive and provide solutions to problems around them. This role was carried out well by Wardah Fepriyani, guru SD MHIS Bangka, Bangka Belitung Islands (Babel).

The impact of economic improvement is accompanied by natural damage mainly due to the many illegal mines. This moves Fepriyani to bring the issue of tin to his class. "Changes in air and weather quality are very much felt by the people here. As a teacher, I feel responsible for building student awareness about this,he explained. Local issues increase student enthusiasm learning learning begins by showing data and photos of mining areas to students and then asking their opinions. Boisterous students express their feelings, Some claimed to be sad. Previously students have learned about global warming. But they don't realize that their lives have been affected by this. Through this learning, only then can they connect the concept to local issues. "Someone asked, This means that we are already feeling global warming here? It turns out that previously the students did not realize that the hot temperatures in Babylon were part of global warming due to the exploitation of nature,” explained Fepriyani. Furthermore, students are challenged to formulate positive contributions to increase public awareness of this issue. Many ideas emerged, such as digital campaigns, distributing posters, plant Trees, and so on. From student ideas, Fepriyani then proposed a miniature project for three conditions of the earth.

The response of educators to the barracks school: Educating cannot be instant

Marsaria Primadonna, chairman of the Cikal Teachers Campus, Criticizing West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi's policy regarding the Military Barracks School program for students with challenging behavior. The teacher as well as the educational activist confirms, education is not about subduing but growing. “We at the Cikal Teachers Campus believe that true character change is born from safe relationships, not fear,” he emphasized on Friday (9/5). Pima, familiar greeting, regrets policies that ignore background, emotions, and the needs of these students. Children whose actions are challenging are often never listened to. A holistic approach is needed to see students as a whole; who are they, where do they get their data from?, and what they are experiencing. This method is not a fast path but a stronger change because it is born from understanding, not pressure. “Maybe what you see now is that students have changed, but they stop because they are aware or afraid? If you're just afraid it won't last long. But if children feel understood and invited to think, it's a change that can last,explained Pima. "Programs like this need to be studied more deeply. Don't make our children militaristic guinea pigs. It's not just about fast results, but the impact is long term. Because in the world of education, what we build is not just today's behavior—but our children's future,he continued. Vocational school teacher in Depok: Try to understand the student's perspective. Rejection also came from Suryadi, AMEC Depok Vocational School teacher and member of the Nusantara Learning Teacher Community. According to him, This policy puts pressure on students and will not produce the desired quality of education. Suryadi admitted that he was also frustrated when faced with challenging student behavior. However, Suryadi tried to deal with it with a humanist approach. “Empathy, effective communication, set clear boundaries, look for solutions together, including collaborating with parents," he said. “I talk to students privately, listen to what he says, and try to understand his perspective. I also try to find ways to make him feel more involved in the learning process,he explained. Significant changes occur even though it takes time. The students he faced were more obedient to class agreements, want to do the job, even socialize well in class. “This experience taught me that every student has unique needs and problems, and that with the right approach, we can help them to grow and develop,said Suryadi. Middle school teacher in Bandung: Want a Momentary Change of Consciousness or Change? The same approach was also taken by Iwan Ardhie, Muhammadiyah Middle School Developer 9 Bandung Regency. Decades of teaching have given him the experience of meeting students from various backgrounds. “I use principles, 'educate students with the best treatment'. Whatever his behavior is, I am patient. Once there was an annoying student, A few years after graduating we met outside of school, he kissed my hand,” recalled Iwan. Iwan also admitted that he did not agree with the policy of sending students who were considered problematic to the barracks. The reason is that there is no empirical evidence or studies that say that educating with a military approach can be better than at school. “Even if it proves to be better later, Does that mean there has been a change in consciousness or is it just a momentary change??said Iwan. “For schools, This policy should actually be a reflection. Why do schools seem to be distrusted or as if they are said to have failed in educating students?? And policy makers need to understand that education is a process, it can't be instant,” Instead of a military approach, Iwan supports improving the quality of teachers, including the competence to empathize and communicate with students. Thus, A school environment that is conducive to student growth can be created. (Yosi) This press release was published previously on 10 Mei 2025.
