He also encouraged students to be more active in discussions and asking questions to the speakers to maximize learning opportunities.

The speakers emphasized that deep learning is not just a teaching method, but a holistic approach that encourages students to think critically, creatively, and reflectively. Dr. Wirman Kasmayadi explained that this approach is in line with the independent curriculum that focuses on deep understanding rather than rote memorization. Dr. Erisda Eka Putra added that the application of technology in deep learning can help improve teaching effectiveness, while Prof. Dr. Darmiany emphasized the importance of teacher readiness in adopting this method in primary schools.

This event supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 4 (Quality Education) by emphasizing the importance of innovation in learning methods to improve the quality of basic education. By organizing this public lecture, it is hoped that PGSD FKIP Unram students will be better prepared to become innovative, competitive teachers, and be able to implement deep learning in elementary schools, in order to produce superior generations in the future.
