Oral tradition does not refer to evidence or oral history; rather, it refers to the knowledge, recollections, and information that a group of people has accumulated over a long period of time. Oral tradition, as used in a broader sense, refers to the vocal expression used in the recall and transfer of a particular, conserved textual and cultural knowledge. An oral tradition or oral transmission of knowledge is a form of education that works in both similar and different ways than other kinds of education. In classical education, learners are the observers, and because they are only relying on what they hear, they tend to perceive at a much higher level than those who are relying solely on their perceptions. Future generations are taught information, cultural and social values, and collective memory through a variety of oral traditions and expressions. In order to keep cultures alive, they play a crucial role. It is well known that oral tradition stimulates multiple parts of the brain in different ways. A variety of movement, hand gestures, as well as call and response are often used in the singing, chanting, and storytelling. As a result of the collaboration between the body and the brain, muscle memory is built and active learning is stimulated. In this study, we will examine the significance of oral tradition in education and the importance of harnessing the power of listening, understanding, and reflecting in the teaching and learning process.
