Students’ attitudes toward humour in higher education

It is widely known that humour has positive effects on human health. According to research, it is still rarely used in teaching. Research indicate a correlation between the use of humour in education and positive learning outcomes. There are also some aspects of humour that are not appropriate in teaching (irony, sarcasm, insulting humour, ethnicity and sexism related humour). In this research data were collected on students’ opinions about humour in higher education from three aspects: 1) the correlation of humour and quality of teaching outcomes in higher education, 2) the correlation of using humour in higher education and interpersonal relationships and 3) training professors to use humour in higher education. Students’ attitudes were positive in relation to the three studied aspects which confirms a need for the use of humour in higher education. Humour should, therefore, find its place in each classroom and in each educational institution
