Formation of society is impossible without cultural phenomena and traditions of the past. Comprehensive understanding of the folklore as an important part of cultural memory places it at the proper level of functioning in the system of intellectual, aesthetic and cultural education of the people. The study of oral folk works has an important educational value. This was emphasized by the classics of pedagogy such as Grygoriy Vashchenko, Kostiantyn Ushynsky, Anton Makarenko, and was also supported by such modern scholars as Olga Sukhomlynska, Nataliya Syvachuk, Volodymyr Kuz, Galyna Klovak and others. The issue of folklore’s educational potential and its importance in the process of national school formation, preservation of folklore memory are paid attention to in their scientific works. Taking into consideration these facts, the authors of the research concentrated at the regional folklore of Uman district, collected by the teachers and students of Ukrainian Philology Faculty during the folklore expeditions to the village of Apolianka in Uman district, Cherkasy region. This activity was carried out within the framework of the research laboratory "Ethnology of Cherkasy region" in Pavlo Tycyna Uman State Pedagogical University. The article is devoted to the issues of regional and local folklore that is a component of spiritual activity, aimed not only at preserving, spreading and consuming the spiritual values of traditional folk culture, but also at creating new values. The necessity of interconnection of academic scientific discourse and educational practice is explained. The folklore heritage of Apolianka village and its genre diversity have been analysed on the base of fund materials in research laboratory "Ethnology of Cherkasy region". It has been proved that the ethnographic activity is effective for adoption of native land folklore by students. It is stated that different types of local folklore materials should be used at Ukrainian literature lessons. Meetings with village old residents, folklore groups, students’ folklore and ethnographic activities are said to be rather important at comprehensive schools. The Ukrainian folklore has an inexhaustible cognitive, moral and aesthetic potential, and, therefore, getting acquainted with it at school age makes it possible to learn more about the history of the people’s life, to understand national outlook, to adopt ideals and feelings and to know national morality.
