This is a story about what we have learned about deep learning pedagogy and it all begins in a

soot-filled city, a long time ago.

In the wake of the second industrial revolution, fuel powered digging machines replaced the toil of

hardworking labourers on farms and cities.

Productivity increased and business costs and the labour force decreased.

As physical machines replaced physical bodies threatening high unemployment, industrialised

governments invested in compulsory education to prepare future generations for a new world of pen

pushing and people management.

A century on, a similar scene is being rehearsed on the digital stage. Thinking machines are steadily taking over repetitive cognitive tasks

performed by human beings. Global connectivity is thinning out local jobs.

Rapid wide spread unemployment is anticipated if we don’t retrain our society to

flourish in the digital world.

Yet education has not responded briskly, producing students for a bygone age of fact collecting, people management and compliance.

An obsessive emphasis on standardised tests and high stakes exams has skewed the

curriculum focus towards skills we can easily assess and computers can replicate.

The very things computers can’t do remain largely untaught and untested, leaving our children vulnerable to skill obsolescence.

If we want our children to lead meaningful work-lives, we must change our approach to schooling. We need a new pedagogy.

This new pedagogy must compel students to attend school and provide opportunities and

experiences that homes cannot easily replicate.

Some educators are calling this rejoinder to traditional learning, Deep Learning. Although an awkward term, in

the absence of another classifier, we should rally behind it if we want to transform schooling.

One way to understand NPDL is as a response to the legacy pedagogies – skill and drill, lecture and broadcast,

regurgitation of information - that worked for late 19th and early 20th century industrial economies. These economies

wanted students that were compliant, respectful of procedure, able to retain and regurgitate information and had basic skills

in numeracy and literacy.

Deep Learning is a combination of the best of the old and new. A student centred, inquiry led,

project based, competencies focused, higher order and technologically savvy approach to

teaching and learning.

THE INGREDIENTS OF

DEEP LEARNING

Maximising student choice over what they learn and how they learn

supercharges motivation and sustains positive learning behaviors

Project-problem based

ContentKnowledge

Pedagogy

Autonomy

Technology

ENGAGEMENTMaking teaching and learning choices that connect with the elements of DDLD is critical to

effective instruction

Strong learning area specific expertise that is curricula compliant

advantageously fast tracks scaffolding and targets key skills and knowledge more effectively

Effective deep learning cuts across learning areas through project

based learning tasks that investigate real and relevant

questions and assess learners on authentic outputs

Belonging

The 6 Competencies that realise deep learning are creativity,

communication, citizenship, critical thinking, character and collaboration

Effective planning with/for technology capabilities increases engagement,

collaboration and access to skills and knowledge

Learning contexts that engage, excite, enthuse, personalise and challenge are the foundation of effective sustained learning

In a team pair, identify an area of mathematics that concerns you.

Why is this area a challenge?

What realistic measures could the school take to support you to address this challenge?

What could be done to improve and deepen student learning?

What is one fertile question your students could explore in this area that could deepen student engagement and inquiry?

How could technology be included to change the way this area is taught and assessed.
