Abstract

Deeper learning has been used to describe the set of competencies or goals that students need to cultivate or achieve. It refers to the characteristics of learning methods (or learning processes) aimed at reaching such objectives. The goal of deeper learning is to enhance the ability to “clearly understand the content of the curriculum and apply it in the classroom and professional settings,” and related studies consider it essential for success in future college life, career life, and civic life. The D University has been continuously operating a liberal arts tutoring program since the first semester of 2020. It shares many values and aspects pursued by deeper learning, as the key factors of deeper learning, such as self-regulated learning, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities, align with the purpose of the program. From this perspective, this study aims to measure the program participants’ level of deeper learning and quantitatively assess its effectiveness. Participants in the program revealed significant improvement in the overall level of deeper learning and some subscales compared to non-participants. In relation to the findings of the data analysis, the discussion on the educational effectiveness of specific programs in the higher education is provided.
