Despite growing interest in deep learning pedagogy as a means of fostering meaningful and student-centered learning, limited empirical research has examined how pedagogical practices are reshaped through its implementation in authentic elementary school classrooms, particularly within the Indonesian context. This study investigated how deep learning pedagogy was perceived to support changes in teaching practices and meaningful learning experiences in an international elementary school setting. A single-site qualitative case study was conducted at Fatimah International Elementary School, Indonesia, involving 13 participants consisting of three teachers, nine students, and one academic coordinator. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings suggest that deep learning pedagogy supported a shift from transmission-oriented teaching toward more student-centered, reflective, and collaborative classroom practices. Meaningful learning emerged when instructional activities were connected to students’ everyday experiences and supported through inquiry, discussion, and authentic learning tasks. Reflective learning practices appeared to strengthen learner agency, metacognitive awareness, and self-regulated learning, while collaborative activities enhanced students’ cognitive, emotional, and social engagement. However, implementation required careful instructional preparation, classroom management, and institutional support. These findings contribute to the growing discourse on deep learning pedagogy by providing contextual evidence from elementary education and highlighting its potential to foster meaningful learning environments. The study suggests that teachers and school leaders should promote reflective, collaborative, and contextually relevant learning experiences while ensuring adequate pedagogical and organizational support for sustainable implementation.

Environmental conservation should be introduced in early childhood education through curriculum design, as curriculum documents shape children's learning experiences and value development. However, previous studies have primarily examined environmental education in classroom practice, with limited attention to how conservation values are represented within curriculum documents. This study aims to analyze the representation of environmental conservation values in an early childhood curriculum using four analytical dimensions: preservation, maintenance, management, and protection.This study employed a qualitative content analysis of one internal curriculum document from Ar Nature School. The document was analyzed through repeated reading, open coding, and deductive categorization. After removing repetitive and non-analytical content, 31 meaningful textual segments were identified and coded into four conservation dimensions. Analytical credibility was enhanced through iterative coding, constant comparison, analytical memos, and an audit trail.The findings reveal that conservation values are systematically embedded across the curriculum's four learning pillars—Morals, Leadership, Logical Thinking, and Business—despite the absence of explicit conservation terminology. Preservation and protection dominate the Morals pillar, maintenance characterizes Leadership, preservation and management are emphasized in Logical Thinking, and management is most prominent in the Business pillar. Together, these dimensions form an integrated ecological value system embedded in daily learning experiences.The curriculum promotes environmental conservation implicitly through moral development, experiential learning, and nature-based activities. This study contributes a four-dimensional analytical framework for examining conservation values in early childhood curriculum documents and highlights the importance of explicitly incorporating conservation terminology and ecological learning indicators to strengthen Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) implementation.
