<![CDATA[This conceptual study aims to develop the SELIS Model (Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Local Insight in Social Studies) as a pedagogical framework that integrates local wisdom, environmental awareness, and entrepreneurial learning within the context of Social Studies education. The study was conducted using a qualitative conceptual approach through systematic library research. Various theoretical perspectives and previous studies were analyzed to construct an integrative model that promotes sustainability-based entrepreneurship education. The proposed model conceptualizes entrepreneurship learning as a cyclical and dynamic process consisting of four stages: contextual exploration, inquiry and design, project implementation, and reflection and evaluation. Each stage is designed to strengthen students’ socio-economic competence, creativity, and ecological awareness. The integration of local cultural values, sustainability principles, and social studies competencies forms the foundation for meaningful and contextually relevant learning experiences. The results of the conceptual synthesis reveal that entrepreneurship education grounded in local wisdom and environmental insight can enhance students’ ethical awareness, responsibility, and innovation capacity. The SELIS Model positions students as active agents of change who are able to translate local potential into environmentally friendly business ideas while maintaining social and ecological balance. This model also emphasizes continuous collaboration between schools, communities, industries, and the environment to ensure that entrepreneurial learning remains relevant to real-world challenges. In conclusion, the SELIS Model offers a comprehensive and sustainable framework for social studies teachers to foster eco-entrepreneurial character, critical thinking, and community-oriented innovation among students, ultimately contributing to the advancement of sustainable education practices.]]>
