Abstract

This study aims to analyze science learning practices using the case study method assisted by the SmartEdu application in fostering deep learning. The research employed a qualitative case study approach involving prospective elementary school teacher students as participants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic analysis to explore the effectiveness of SmartEdu in supporting the learning process. The findings indicate that the integration of SmartEdu facilitates students^ critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, which are key indicators of deep learning. Moreover, the case study method encourages active participation and contextual understanding of scientific concepts. This study highlights the potential of technology-assisted learning in higher education, particularly in preparing future teachers with competencies that align with 21st-century educational demands.
