In mid-2025, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education of Indonesia launched a deep learning initiative to improve the quality of education nationally. Deep learning is an approach that stimulates students to learn mindfully and attentively (mindful), find meaning and relevance of what is learned to their lives (meaningful), and enjoy the learning process with enthusiasm and passion (joyful). As a new initiative, deep learning is certainly not immediately fully understood by schools, although some teachers have actually implemented it. One of mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning implementations in vocational secondary schools is the teaching factory. Teaching factory provides students with experiential learning based on industry in the school environment. This article aims to provide a conceptual analysis of the deep learning framework in the implementation of the teaching factory learning model in vocational secondary schools. This analysis is expected to help vocational secondary schools understand deep learning and its application in a vocational context. The results of the conceptual analysis on the dimensions of graduate profiles, learning principles, learning experiences, and learning frameworks indicate that teaching factory is an operationalization of the deep learning concept in vocational secondary schools.
