Abstract

At the beginning of educational activities, people used experiential education. Using experiences confi rmed in practice, people used to express their cognitions through various forms of folk creation: songs, tales, fairytales, riddles, proverbs, sayings, etc. Folk sayings as a cultural creation of the Croatian people contain a strong educational message. The entire moral and ethic value system is contained in these short, witty, but to people clear, wise sayings. In a detailed analysis of contents of available pedagogic periodicals we notice a large number of references and comments based on folk sayings. Observing folk pedagogy through a prism of folk sayings, we can fi nd many of the modern elements of educational ideas in their content.
