Deeper Learning is a set of educational outcomes of students that include the acquisition of robust core academic content, higher order thinking skills and learning dispositions.
Education must enable the mastery of skills such as analytical thinking, complex problem solving and teamwork.
- What are the characteristics of deeper learning that can be captured in student texts?
- Is there a collection of words, terms, phrases, sentences etc. that indicate or characterise deeper learning?
We are working on using machine learning to capture the level of deeper learning from students' responses.
With this, we want to investigate the learning process of specially developed tasks.
We are looking for existing instruments that make this possible and are happy and grateful for hints and help.
Dear Egon Werlen ,
Look the link, maybe helpful.

Hello Egon - I quite like the attached paper.
It references the following characteristics of deep learning:
- communicates understanding of big ideas
- imposes meaning on content
- sees and explains connections and relationships between various aspects of content
- formulates hypotheses and beliefs about the structure of a problem
- demonstrates higher levels of abstraction.
Dear Egon,
I would suggest you read materials related to metacognition. Below is one of my favorite papers which suggests that to encourage a deep learning approach, teachers could provide prompts and contextualized scaffolding and
encourage students to ask questions, predict, and explain during activities. These are also some characteristics of the kind of teaching that fosters metacognition.
