Gorontalo — The Geography Education Study Program held a EDU-TALK GEO Webinar with the theme "Designing Learning with a Deep Learning Approach" on Friday, June 10, 2025. This activity was held as part of strengthening the academic competence of students and lecturers in understanding learning innovations that are oriented towards the development of critical, reflective, and contextual thinking skills.

The theme raised is considered very relevant to the development of the current world of education, where the learning process no longer only focuses on mastering the material, but also on the ability of students to understand concepts in depth and be able to relate them to real life. In this activity, participants gained an understanding of the basic concepts of deep learning in learning, its characteristics, and its application strategies in the teaching and learning process.

The webinar material emphasizes the importance of learning that encourages students to actively explore knowledge, analyze problems, and build meaningful understanding. The deep learning approach is seen as able to improve the quality of the learning process because it places students as active subjects who are involved in the process of high-level thinking, rather than just passively receiving information.

This activity is also part of the study program's efforts to support the improvement of the quality of learning which is not only oriented to academic achievements, but also to strengthening the ability to think critically, creatively, and solve problems in depth.
