<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the implementation of the Deep Learning approach within the Merdeka Curriculum in Grade 5 at SDK Sang Timur Pasuruan. This approach emphasizes meaningful, joyful, and mindful learning, and is oriented toward the development of eight graduate profile dimensions: faith and devotion, citizenship, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, independence, health, and communication. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with participants including fifth-grade students, teachers, the principal, and parents. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model (data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing). The findings reveal two key results: the application of the three principles of Deep Learning and the achievement of the eight graduate profile dimensions in the learning process. Through project-based activities, group discussions, reflection, and real-life contextual tasks, students were actively engaged in learning. They did not merely memorize content but were encouraged to think critically, discuss, collaborate, and understand the meaning of learning in daily life. The study recommends continuous professional development for teachers in designing structured and differentiated deep learning experiences tailored to students' characteristics.
