The central question that frames this topic is: "How can conceptual metaphor help educators enrich educational theories, promote values, develop skills, and encourage critical and creative thinking? This article aims to investigate the foundational links between conceptual metaphor and education through a descriptive and analytical approach. It draws on leading rhetorical projects and focuses on key ideas and theories to assess their potential impact on understanding how cognitive rhetoric influences the educational process. Conclusion: Conceptual metaphor enables learners to better understand the world, perceive meaning, and strengthen critical thinking and creativity.
