Responding to the exploitative modern culture of natural resources and the distortion of social resources, educational institutions provide both criticism and solutions through an ecopedagogy approach embodied in the values of local wisdom. One of the local wisdom in Cirebon, West Java is petatah petitih (advice) from Sunan Gunung Jati, Founder of Cirebon Sultanate. (1448-1568 AD). This article aims to explore the values contained in petitih as much as 42 such advisor so that can be identified which values are included in ecopedagogy aspect as learning source of Social Studies. The method in writing this article with a qualitative approach through literature study and field observation. The essence of ecopedagogy is the social movement in thinking that is part of critical pedagogy (Supriatna, 2016). Local wisdom is an appreciation of others for the work and collective policies of a group in managing the sustainability of life (Widya Nayati, 2008). The values inherited from petatah petitih as intangible local wisdom until now become the guidance of Cirebon community which is plural. From the aspect of ecopedagogy that contains justice and equality values (Kincheloe, 2008: 10), it becomes the basis of Critical Pedagogy which according to Supriatna (2016) to support sustainability development. Tangible local wisdom like Nadran as a symbol of dumping stupidity, and Kliwonan and Muludan dimension of entrepreneurship-economics can enrich the repertoire in social studies.
