Folklore In Elementary School Textbooks

The purpose of this topic is to highlight the usability, role and impact of folk creativity in the textbooks of grades 1 - 5. Considering that students from the first grade to the fifth grade are constantly confronted with folk creations, it is important that to know what impact they have on children's lives, in various social, pedagogical, cultural, psychological aspects, etc. We will also address the aspect of how these creations are suitable for the age and psycho-cognitive aspect of the students. But one thing is certain, that they predominate in useful instructions and teachings, through which various vices and weaknesses are reprimanded, and on the other hand, good human habits are praised and supported. Therefore, these creations have always served and will continue to serve in the future for the education of children. Folklore creativity is very present in school textbooks, in its various forms, such as fairy tales, riddles, proverbs, folk songs, lullabies, folk games, etc. Therefore, we have tried to treat these creations from the perspective of how they are presented to students. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how popular creativity is used and whether this subject is sufficiently included in school textbooks from grades 1-5.
