Abstract

This study aimed to develop a pedagogical model for 
innovation and entrepreneurship education that enhances 
students’ creativity and attitudes, in alignment with 
Sustainable Development Goal 4 on quality education. The 
model (referred to as the E-Learning- Presentation
Assimilation-Discussion-Project-Based 
(EPP) 
Model) 
combines online learning, structured classroom interaction, 
and experiential projects. Grounded in Constructivism 
Theory, Educational Ecology Theory, and the Theory of 
Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), 9the model was developed 
using expert validation and implemented in a classroom 
setting. Students showed notable gains in creativity and 
learning attitudes after the intervention. These outcomes 
occurred because the model fosters active engagement, 
collaborative exploration, and reflective application. The 
impact of this integrated instructional design offers practical 
guidance for advancing student-centered, sustainable 
entrepreneurship education in higher learning institutions.
