Drawing on the concept of deep active learning (DAL), the research aims to identify whether and how these young adults adopted the deep active approach to learning.

The majority are young adults who have experienced structured and teacher-directed learning approaches in their previous education. Given that the goal of higher education is shifting from learning performance to students’ autonomy and independence for the development of competitive global citizens (Chinese Ministry of Education, 2019; Kim, Song, Liu, Liu & Grim, 2018), it would be interesting to knowhow these young adults who have experienced one approach of learning, adapted themselves to another. According to Guo, Huang, and Zhang (2019), despite the many efforts of the Chinese government to improve the learning of young adults in higher education, whether these efforts “have led to improved students’academic performance, more effective learning, cultivated multi-faceted talents, inspired their creativity, enhanced their comprehensive abilities, or increased their education returns are still underinvestigated”(Guo et al., 2019, p.13).  \nThe purpose of this study is to explore one such aspect of higher education that has received little attention, namely, early childhood students’ learning in an elective. This elective was purposefully designed as a model of educational reforms in a Chinese institution that focused on the creation and use of picture books in a project-based process. Drawing on the national guidelines, the course aimed to encourage students’ interests, choices, and explorations. The current research is not about the content of picture books, nor how they were created but rather, the focus is on how students were learning through picture booking making in a formal teacher education course. This research was the first that we know of to explore Chinese adult students’ learning in a purposefully designed elective.  \nAnalysis of students’learning in the current research is informed by the concept of deep active learning (DAL). Combining learning content with learning activities, DAL is a two-dimensional concept that gives insights into both what and how students learn. DAL, in particular the ideas of relational learning, meaning seeking and knowledge transfer, provides the lens for exploring how participating students experienced their learning. We are also interested to know of the constraints that students may experience with a DAL context when their interests and choices are enabled.  \n218 Nini Zhang, Huijun Zhao & Karen Guo  \nDeep active learning in education  \nDeep active learning (DLA) is a conceptual framework within the notion of deep learning.
