, and SDG 13 (Climate Actio.
The people of South Sulawesi are known for their diversity, ethnologically divided into four main ethnic groups: Bugis.
Makassar.
Mandar, and Toraja.
Each group has unique natural resources and socio-cultural identities, with their communities scattered across various settlements that can be developed as resources for ecopreneurship .
, .
The socio-cultural aspects of these ethnic groups are reflected in the social norms that influence community behavior, including maternal healthcare practices.
For example, in South Sulawesi, local wisdom includes practices such as Appasili .
seven-month pregnancy traditio.
, which aims to maintain cleanliness and enhance the well-being of pregnant women to avoid negative outcomes .
Traditional physical activities like morning walks around the village are also believed to help prepare the body for smooth childbirth .
Ae.
Additionally.
Mappanre to Mangideng .
eeding the pregnant woma.
is a Bugis ritual where family members feed the mother with healthy foods .
, .
A healthy diet using local foods, such as seafood and green vegetables, has been passed down as wisdom to maintain the health of pregnant women.
The unique traditions relevant to the context of midwifery and ecopreneurship serve as the foundation for developing the learning content on the Web Bidan Elok platform.
However, the main challenge faced by midwifery students is the limited access and time to receive training outside of the formal curriculum .
Ae.
Therefore, educational technology, such as E-Learning, presents a potential solution, contributing to SDG 4 (Quality Educatio.
E-Learning not only offers flexibility in the learning process but also enables access to materials relevant to local needs without relying on physical locations or strict schedules.
The Bidan Elok platform, an E-Learning tool, is designed to facilitate midwifery students learning of ecopreneurship based on local wisdom .
, .
This platform offers interactive modules that provide insights into how to efficiently and sustainably utilize local resources in a healthcare context.
While numerous studies have examined the effectiveness of E-Learning in healthcare education, the integration of local wisdom into ecopreneurship education remains limited .
, .
Therefore, this study was conducted to enhance E-Learning methods by integrating the spirit of ecopreneurship and the values of South Sulawesi local wisdom into the education of midwifery students .
Ae.
This approach offers a significant contribution with several advantages compared to existing methods, namely:
A Cultural and Contextual Relevance: The integration of South Sulawesi local wisdom values, such as the principles of environmental sustainability and communal cooperation, complements generic E-Learning models that often overlook cultural contexts.
As highlighted by .
, culturally relevant approaches have greater potential to enhance learners understanding and engagement.
A Strengthening Ecopreneurship Competence: Ecopreneurship-based learning supports the development of environmentally friendly entrepreneurial skills, which, according to .
, represent a competitive advantage in the modern healthcare industry.
A Enhancing Adaptability Through Work Experience Evaluation: This approach also surpasses traditional models by tailoring materials based on students work duration and workplace settings.
As emphasized by .
, personalization is crucial in improving the effectiveness of technology-based learning.
A Innovation in Multidimensional Integration: This study combines elements rarely applied simultaneously: E-Learning, local cultural values, and ecopreneurship .
This integration provides a learning model that is not only innovative but also offers concrete solutions to the limitations of conventional E-Learning methods.
Thus, this approach complements and surpasses previous learning methods by creating synergy between technology, culture, and professional competency development.
This contribution is not only locally relevant but also has the potential to become a culturally-based learning model that can be replicated in various global contexts.
