| Abstract: | This study evaluates a deeper learning model integrating mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning to bridge the procedural-conceptual knowledge gap. Using a sequential exploratory mixed-method design within a Lesson Study framework, we involved 7 teachers and 20 Indonesian fourth graders. Quantitative results showed significant critical thinking improvement (F = 528.603, p < .000) with a large effect size (d = 7.36). Qualitative findings revealed that the model established a psychologically safe environment, facilitating student-led knowledge construction. Despite the small sample, this study provides a validated pedagogical framework for fostering higherorder mathematical reasoning through affective safety and metacognition. |
