<![CDATA[The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah requires learning practices that go beyond content delivery and emphasize deep understanding and character development. However, learning practices in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah are still predominantly characterized by conventional approaches that focus on memorization and final outcomes, resulting in limited meaningful learning experiences. This study aims to conceptually analyze the integration of the deep learning approach within the Merdeka Curriculum in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah learning. This research employs a qualitative approach with a library research design, using data sources from reputable national and international journal articles, academic books, and official policy documents related to the Merdeka Curriculum and madrasah education. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify the alignment between the deep learning approach, the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum, and the characteristics of learning in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. The findings indicate that the deep learning approach is highly compatible with the Merdeka Curriculum, as it emphasizes student-centered learning, deep conceptual understanding, reflective learning processes, and formative assessment. The integration of deep learning in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah learning has the potential to enhance learning quality holistically, encompassing cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions, while supporting the sustainable achievement of the Merdeka Curriculum objectives.]]>
