- Abstract
Riddles, the entertaining works of folk literature with simple appearances (structures), deep backgrounds and artistic expressions, also have the moral value of carrying the centuries of accumulated cultural traces into today. In daily life, riddle has lost its old popularity. This is quite normal. Because changes in life conditions, variations in the quality of social environments, individualization and similar reasons have altered the interests and pleasures of people as well as their needs and understandings. In academic context, studies on riddles have been limited with the field of folklore. The valuable studies done on this field have not been sufficiently evaluated within the scope of education and teaching. Today, it is seen that, riddles do not take place within framework of education and teaching. However, riddles have richness and deepness that can be used as a means of reaching success in not merely teaching language and concepts but also in closely related thought. The biggest contribution of riddles to the education and teaching process is seen in native language education. Riddles can be seen as a means of teaching concepts and enriching word treasure. In a riddle, the process of searching answer is dynamic; that is, one compares all the concepts passing through his mind with the features given in the question. 'Clearly, riddles correlate with high order thinking like creative thinking, critical thinking and problem solving. So riddles must be appreciated educational and intellectual context and included in education and teaching environments'. In this study, the place and significance of riddle as an effective tool and a rich stimulant in education and teaching will be determined and explained.
