DEEP LEARNING
 Application of Pedagogical Capacity for Deep Learning
in Science Education
 Pedagogical capacity for deep learning in science refers to the
ability of educators to design and implement teaching
strategies that foster critical thinking, problem-solving,
collaboration, and meaningful understanding of scientific
concepts. Applying deep learning principles in science
education enhances students' ability to engage in inquiry-
based learning, develop a deeper conceptual understanding,
and apply knowledge to real-world situations. Below are key
applications:

SUBJECT?
 Pedagogical Capacity for Deep Learning Integrated
with Key Learning Elements
 Pedagogical capacity for deep learning refers to an educator’s
ability to design and implement teaching strategies that foster
meaningful, lasting learning experiences. When integrated
with learning development, learning desire, success
criteria, unpacking of the curriculum, and
understanding through design, it creates a holistic
framework that supports students in achieving deep and
authentic learning.
 1. Learning Development (Growth and Progression in
Learning)
• Focuses on scaffolding learning experiences to ensure
students build knowledge and skills progressively.
• Application:
• Using formative assessments and differentiated instruction to
guide students from basic to advanced understanding.
• Example: In a science class, starting with simple observations of
plant growth, then moving to designing controlled experiments
on photosynthesis.
 2. Learning Desire (Motivation and Engagement in
Learning)
• Encourages students to develop an intrinsic love for learning
and take ownership of their educational journey.
• Application:
• Creating student-driven inquiry projects where learners
explore topics they are passionate about.
• Example: In physics, allowing students to design their own Rube
Goldberg machine to understand energy transformations.
 3. Success Criteria (Defining and Measuring Learning
Outcomes)
• Clearly communicates expectations and learning goals so
students understand what success looks like.
• Application:
• Co-constructing success criteria with students to ensure clarity
and alignment with learning goals.
• Example: In a chemistry experiment, students know they must
accurately record observations, analyze data, and draw logical
conclusions to meet success criteria.
 4. Unpacking the Curriculum (Breaking Down
Curriculum into Meaningful Learning Experiences)
• Deconstructing complex curriculum standards into clear,
manageable learning objectives.
• Application:
• Identifying key concepts and aligning them with real-world
applications and cross-disciplinary connections.
• Example: Teaching biodiversity in an integrated way by
connecting it to geography (ecosystems), ethics (conservation),
and technology (data tracking for endangered species).
 5. Understanding Through Design (Backward Design
and Inquiry-Based Approach)
• Uses backward design, where teachers start with the end
goal (desired learning outcomes) and plan lessons
accordingly.
• Application:
• Designing learning experiences based on essential questions and
big ideas.
• Example: Instead of teaching Newton’s laws as isolated facts,
structuring a unit around the question: How do forces shape the
world around us?
How These Elements Work Together in Deep Learning
1.Begin with Understanding Through Design:
•Identify the core concepts students should grasp and
design lessons to explore them deeply.
2.Unpack the Curriculum:
•Break learning down into meaningful, connected topics.
3.Set Clear Success Criteria:
•Define what mastery looks like so students
can self-assess and improve.
4.Develop Learning Desire:
•Foster curiosity and intrinsic motivation
by making learning relevant and engaging.
5.Support Learning Development:
•Use scaffolding, feedback, and assessment
to guide students to deeper understanding.
Conclusion
When these elements are integrated, pedagogical capacity for deep
learning ensures that education is student-centered, engaging,
for real-world challenges. It
meaningful, and prepares learners
transforms classrooms into dynamic spaces where
students think critically, solve problems, and
apply knowledge in authentic contexts.
