Reflection of folk pedagogical culture in oral folk art

The history of pedagogical thought of any nation begins with folk pedagogy: children are always thoughts and remain the object of special attention and care of all peoples of the Earth.

Folklore was one of the most important means of preserving national identity, culture, traditions, and customs. Thanks to oral folk art, the child learned simple but very important information about the phenomena of the outside world, relationships between people; In the process of communication in the family and outside it, children developed a love of work, respect for the land and bread, developed resourcefulness, and the ability to overcome difficulties. However, it should be noted that folk pedagogy was not free from shortcomings caused by the influence of the dominant church ideology, superstitions, patriarchal way of life, etc. In general, despite the fact that in different eras the influence of the folk worldview on the upbringing of children manifested itself in different ways, it has always formed a love for the homeland, for work and the working man.

Folk pedagogy considered the child not only as an object, but also as a subject of education, as evidenced by the children's subculture, expressed in children's games, counting rhymes of a given age, with the help of which children asserted themselves as a community, different from adults in their autonomy and psychological independence.

An integral part of folk pedagogy was folk didactics - content, methods and means of teaching, transferring to children labor, household, agrotechnical skills and abilities, mathematical, medical and other knowledge.

Folk pedagogy found its expression in the specific demonstration of labor operations, in the assimilation of folk signs of the weather, observation of the growth and development of plants, determining the timing of collecting natural treasures (mushrooms, berries, nuts), and writing riddles-tasks that developed logical thinking.

Fairy tales, being artistic and literary works, were at the same time for workers and an area of theoretical generalizations in many branches of knowledge. They are a treasury of folk pedagogy; moreover, many fairy tales are pedagogical works, i.e. they contain pedagogical ideas.

The educational role of fairy tales is great. There is an assertion that the pedagogical significance of fairy tales lies on the emotional and aesthetic plane, but not on the cognitive plane. We cannot agree with this. The very opposition of cognitive activity to emotion is fundamentally wrong: the emotional sphere and cognitive activity are inseparable, without emotion, as we know, knowledge of the truth is impossible.

Fairy tales, especially historical ones, trace interethnic ties between peoples and the joint struggle of workers against foreign enemies and exploiters. A number of fairy tales contain approving statements about neighboring peoples. Many fairy tales describe the journeys of heroes to foreign countries, and in these countries they, as a rule, find helpers and well-wishers; workers of all tribes and countries can agree among themselves; they have common interests. If a fairy-tale hero has to wage a fierce struggle in foreign countries with all kinds of monsters and evil wizards, then usually victory over them entails the liberation of people languishing in the underworld or in the dungeons of monsters. Moreover, those freed hated the monster just as much as the fairy-tale hero, but they did not have the strength to free themselves. And the interests and desires of the liberators and the liberated turned out to be almost the same.

Positive fairy-tale heroes, as a rule, are helped in their difficult struggle not only by people, but also by nature itself: a densely leafed tree hiding fugitives from the enemy, a river and lake that direct the pursuit along the wrong path, birds warning of danger, fish searching and finding a ring dropped into the river and passed on to other human assistants - a cat and a dog; an eagle that lifts the hero to a height inaccessible to man; not to mention the devoted fast horse, etc. All this reflected the age-old optimistic dream of the people to subjugate the forces of nature and force them to serve themselves.

Many folk tales inspire confidence in the triumph of truth, in the victory of good over evil. As a rule, in all fairy tales, the suffering of the positive hero and his friends is transitory, temporary, and they are usually followed by joy, and this joy is the result of struggle, the result of joint efforts. Children especially like the optimism of fairy tales and enhance the educational value of folk pedagogical means.

The fascination of the plot, imagery and fun make fairy tales a very effective pedagogical tool.

A fairy tale is a special, deliciously intriguing genre of literary creativity, which has a phenomenal feature: fairy tales are loved by both young and old, children and adults, the poor and the rich, the stupid and the smart, and vice versa...

Fairy tales are divided into two types: folk tales (or, as abstruse philologists call them, folk tales) and author's tales, that is, literary tales written by a specific writer-storyteller. Let's try to look at the fairy tale from the people's side and from the author's side. So, what do philologists’ textbooks say about folk tales and fairy tales:

1. Folk tales

A folk tale is an epic genre of written and oral folk art: a prosaic oral story about fictional events in the folklore of different peoples. A type of narrative, mainly prosaic folklore (fairy-tale prose), which includes works of different genres, the texts of which are based on fiction. Fairytale folklore is opposed to “reliable” folklore narration (non-fairytale prose).

2. Author's fairy tales

A literary fairy tale is an epic genre: a fiction-oriented work that is closely related to a folk tale, but, unlike it, belongs to a specific author, did not exist in oral form before publication and had no variants. A literary fairy tale either imitates a folk tale (a literary fairy tale written in a folk poetic style) or creates a didactic work based on non-folklore plots. The folk tale historically precedes the literary one.

And the best thing is not to study fairy tales, but to read the fairy tale and enjoy the fairy tale!
