Annotation:This article explores the role of aphorisms in the educational
process, focusing on their pedagogical significance and cultural value. Aphorisms are
examined as concise forms of wisdom that not only enrich classroom instruction but
also foster critical thinking and moral development among learners. The study
highlights how aphorisms from Uzbek and English traditions reflect universal human
values while preserving cultural identity. It further emphasizes the potential of
aphorisms to motivate students, stimulate discussion, and connect theoretical
knowledge with real-life experiences. The article argues that incorporating aphorisms
into teaching can enhance both intellectual growth and ethical education, making them
a valuable resource for modern pedagogy.
