- Abstract
- This article examines the pedagogical significance of folk oral creativity in the formation of moral qualities among preschool children, with particular attention to the cultural heritage of Uzbekistan. Folk oral genres—such as lullabies (alla), proverbs (maqol), riddles (topishmoq), fairy tales (ertaklar), and folk games (milliy o‘yinlar)—serve as powerful tools for developing children’s ethical understanding, emotional sensitivity, social responsibility, and cultural identity. Drawing on the principles of early childhood pedagogy and cultural anthropology, the study argues that integrating traditional oral creativity into preschool educational practice enriches children’s moral development by providing accessible models of kindness, respect, cooperation, honesty, and empathy. Uzbek folk narratives, in particular, embody deep moral-philosophical meanings that guide children toward positive behavior through symbolic imagery, national values, and culturally rooted role models. The article also highlights the role of educators in selecting age-appropriate folklore materials and creating interactive learning environments where children can engage in storytelling, dramatization, and value-based discussions. The findings emphasize that systematic use of folk oral creativity not only strengthens moral education in preschool organizations but also nurtures a sense of belonging, cultural continuity, and respect for national traditions.
