<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the effectiveness of deep learning instruction based on the principles of mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning in improving students’ reading comprehension at MI Islahiyah Panipahan. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design, involving an experimental group and a control group. Research instruments included a reading comprehension test (multiple-choice and essay items) and an observation sheet to assess student engagement. The findings indicate that the experimental group showed a substantially greater improvement than the control group. The experimental group’s mean pretest score of 48,90 increased to 81,60 in the posttest, with an average gain of 32,70, while the control group showed a limited average gains of 6,20. Statistical testing confirmed a significant effect with t = 6.372 and Sig. (2-tailed) = 0,000 (p < 0,05), indicating that deep learning instruction has a positive and significant impact on students’ reading comprehension. The implementation was supported by interactive media such as a digital interactive board, educational videos, and word games, which enhanced students’ focus, engagement, and learning motivation.]]>
