SD Al Siddiq International sent one of its teachers, Mrs Fabia, to participate in a professional development activity entitled Designing Deep Learning Activities for Lower Primary School Teachers in Pondok Gede District. The event was held on Wednesday, 30 September 2026, at PUSKOM ASN, Indonesian National Armed Forces Headquarters (Mabes TNI), Jalan Raya Hankam, Jatimakmur, Pondok Gede.
The activity aimed to enhance teachers’ understanding and skills in designing deep learning activities that align with students’ characteristics and learning needs, particularly at the lower primary level. Through this programme, teachers were expected to develop learning strategies that are more meaningful, interactive, and enjoyable.
Deep learning is an educational approach that encourages students not merely to memorise or receive information, but to develop a thorough understanding of concepts, connect their knowledge with everyday experiences, and apply what they have learnt in a variety of situations. This approach emphasises learning experiences that are mindful, meaningful, and joyful, enabling students to participate actively in the learning process.
For lower primary teachers, implementing deep learning is particularly important because students are still developing essential cognitive, social, emotional, and practical skills. Teachers therefore need to design learning activities that suit children’s developmental stages, incorporate a variety of teaching methods, and provide concrete learning experiences closely connected to everyday life.
Through this activity, the teacher representing SD Al Siddiq International had the opportunity to broaden her knowledge, exchange experiences with fellow educators, and strengthen her skills in designing learning activities that foster curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, and active student participation. The knowledge gained is expected to support the development of more effective and innovative teaching and learning practices at school.
The participation of an SD Al Siddiq International teacher in this programme reflects the school’s commitment to continuously improving educational quality through the ongoing professional development of its educators. Teachers play a vital role in creating learning experiences that extend beyond academic achievement to support students’ character development, independence, and essential life skills.
Following the activity, Mrs Fabia is expected to apply the knowledge and experience gained to classroom teaching and learning. In this way, learning at SD Al Siddiq International can continue to evolve, becoming more meaningful and enjoyable while accommodating the diverse learning needs of every student.
By participating in a range of professional development activities, SD Al Siddiq International continues to encourage its teachers to learn, innovate, and improve the quality of education. These efforts are expected to contribute to the delivery of high-quality education and the development of a generation that is principled, creative, independent, and ready to face the challenges of the future.
