Folk pedagogy, a rich reservoir of cultural knowledge, values, and traditions, plays a pivotal role in shaping the moral, ethical, and social framework of societies. However, in the contemporary educational landscape, the effectiveness of teaching folk pedagogy remains an under-explored yet crucial issue.

Through an analysis of current pedagogical practices and the socio-cultural importance of folk knowledge, the study underscores the relevance of folk pedagogy in fostering holistic education. The findings suggest that an interdisciplinary approach that blends traditional and modern teaching methodologies can enhance the effectiveness of folk pedagogy education.
