The diverse wealth of Indonesia's local wisdom has not been widely utilized as a learning resource. In many studies showed that local wisdom-based science learning encompasses scientific knowledge and holds strong potential for developing higher-order thinking skills and strengthening national identity. This study aims to analyse of local wisdom-based learning from the perspective of learning theories. This research used quantitative descriptive with an analysis literature approach. Sources of research data include the potential analysis of local wisdom-based science learning reviewed from the perspective of learning theories. The findings showed that local wisdom-based science learning aligns with Ausubel’s theory of meaningful learning, Piaget’s theory of cognitive development as personal constructivist, and Vygotsky’s theory of sociocultural learning and Bruner’s theory of inquiry learning. Therefore, it can be concluded that local wisdom-based learning is highly relevant to cognitive development theories and has strong potential to enhance students’ higher order thinking skills and strengthening national identity.
