Abstract: Abstract Cultural identity emerges from shared histories, languages, traditions, and belief systems that shape how individuals perceive themselves and their communities. In many societies, folk knowledge—comprising oral traditions, crafts, rituals, ecological wisdom, and heritage arts—functions as a dynamic reservoir of cultural memory. With rapid globalization and homogenizing influences, these traditional knowledge systems are increasingly threatened. This conceptual paper examines the intersection of cultural identity and pedagogy, focusing specifically on the role of folk knowledge in sustaining heritage. Drawing from constructivist, sociocultural, and culturally responsive pedagogical frameworks, the paper argues that integrating folk knowledge into educational practices not only strengthens learners’ sense of rootedness but also fosters contextual, experiential, and inclusive learning. The paper also discusses pathways, challenges, and policy implications for embedding folk knowledge within modern educational ecosystems. It concludes that education, when aligned with cultural realities, becomes a powerful tool for cultural continuity and transformation.
Keywords: Cultural Identity, Pedagogy, homogenize, constructivism, Folk Knowledge.
