<![CDATA[The demands of 21st-century education require learning to focus on conceptual understanding, higher-order thinking skills, and character development. However, empirical studies on the implementation of the deep learning approach in elementary education, particularly in rural madrasahs, remain limited. This study aims to describe the implementation of deep learning at MI Tarbiyatul Wathon Campurejo, identify the challenges encountered, and analyze its impact on the quality of learning. This research is positioned as a contextual study that enriches the discourse on deep learning in Indonesian elementary education. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and analyzed using an interactive data analysis model. The findings indicate that deep learning was implemented through the integration of meaningful learning, mindful learning, and joyful learning, which enhanced student engagement, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and character development. Challenges related to limited resources were addressed through adaptive and collaborative strategies. These findings affirm that deep learning is relevant and applicable to rural madrasahs and aligns with the Merdeka Curriculum and 21st-century competencies.]]>
