Proverbs are an important oral literature product that conveys the cultural and moral values of societies from generation to generation. Proverbs, which are used as an effective tool in value teaching, express abstract concepts with concrete examples and enable individuals to understand social norms and ethical rules. This study was prepared using document analysis technique, one of the qualitative research methods. The short and concise structure of proverbs leaves a lasting impression on individuals and makes it easier to adopt moral principles. For example, proverbs such as "You reap what you sow" teach important lessons about the consequences of actions and responsibility awareness. Proverbs also contribute to teaching the rules to be followed in social life and values such as respect, empathy, justice and cooperation. When proverbs are used in educational processes, students gain social belonging and cultural awareness while developing their language skills. In this respect, proverbs provide individuals with cultural identity and enable them to establish stronger ties with society. In addition, proverbs are used by educators as an effective pedagogical tool to concretize abstract concepts and teach values in an understandable way. The messages contained in proverbs provide a meaningful context in lessons, helping students to develop a deeper understanding of values. In conclusion, proverbs are a powerful tool for cultural and value transmission, playing a central role in the social and moral development of individuals.
