HUUMORI FENOMEN PEDAGOOGIKAS
Using Humor as a Teacher’s Educational Tool in Everyday Work

Summary/Abstract: Pedagogy as a scientific discipline sees humor as something entertaining and does not connect it to a person’s social skills or to their cognitive development. No studies have been made on the importance of the use of humor in the learning process in Estonia.However, such research has been done in other countries. Unfortunately, these studies are often culture-specific. Cultural factors play a significant role in the use and understanding of humor. Because humor is a manifestation of a culture, each culture interprets humor in a different way. Regardless of culture, however, humor is actually a fundamental and understandable aspect of being human and therefore particularly applicable to a classroom environment.
