Abstract
Učenici često školu smatraju dosadnom i nepotrebnom. Upravo je iz tog
razloga na učiteljima da zainteresiraju učenike nečim novim i drugačijim, a jedan od
načina jest i upotreba humora. Iz želje za saznanjem u kojoj se mjeri humor primjenjuje
u nastavi primarnog obrazovanja nastalo je i ovo istraživanje, što je ujedno bio i cilj
istraživanja. Također, željelo se istražiti ima li razlike u upotrebi humora s obzirom na
razred, ali i koja su obilježja humora koji se primjenjuje u nastavi. Istraživanjem su
obuhvaćena četiri razreda razredne nastave, od 1. do 4., jedne osnovne škole s područja
Međimurske županije. Uzorak su činile 4 učiteljice i 78 učenika.
Rezultati su pokazali da se humor, gledajući sveukupno istraživanje,
primjenjuje vrlo rijetko. Najčešća upotreba humora vidljiva je prilikom frontalne
nastave i to tijekom razgovora učiteljice s učenicima. Što se tiče upotrebe humora s
obzirom na korištenu nastavnu strategiju prilikom poučavanja, rezultati su pokazali da
učiteljice humor najviše primjenjuju tijekom strategije učenja usmjerenog na
djelovanje, u središnjem dijelu sata. S druge strane, najmanja prisutnost humora
vidljiva je prilikom vrednovanja gdje je korištenje humora zabilježeno samo jednom.
S obzirom na razred, najmanje humora korišteno je u četvrtom razredu i to bez
obzira što su u tom razredu promatrana samo dva nastavna predmeta. U ostalim
razredima, učiteljice upotrebljavaju humor u podjednakom omjeru, ali i na gotovo isti
način. Korišten humor češće je povezan s nastavnim sadržajem, ali ima i slučajeva kad
učiteljice upotrebljavaju „humor radi humora“.
Upotrebom humora u nastavi učitelj u razredu stvara pozitivnu razredno –
nastavnu atmosferu. Međutim, nemaju svi učitelji smisla za humor pa bi stoga prilikom
studija za budućeg učitelja tome trebalo pridati veću važnost.Students often consider school as something boring and unecessary. This is
why teachers should offer students something new and different and one of the options
is humor. The motive for this research was the desire of knowing in what measure is
humor used in classes of primary education. This was also the aim of the research. An
additional purpose of the research was to investigate if there is any difference in usage
of humor considering the grade, as well as the characteristics of humor used in
education. This research includes 4 grades of elementary school, from the first grade
to fourth, from one elementary school in Međimurska županija. 4 teachers and 78
students participated in the research.
The results have shown that humor, from the perspective of the whole research
is seldom used. Humor is most frequently used in the case of frontal teaching, during
the communication between students and the teacher. Concerning the use of humor in
consideration of the emoployed teaching strategy, results have shown that teachers
most frequently use humor in the case of an activity– directed teaching strategy, in the
central part of the class. On the other hand, the lowest presence of humor is evident
during evaluation, where the use of humor is noted only once.
Humor is least used in the fourth grade without considering that in this grade,
only two school subjects were observed. In other grades, teachers use humor in equal
proportion and in almost the same way as well. The used humor is often related to the
school curriculum, but there are the cases in which teachers use „humor for the sake of
humor“.
Using humor in the class, teachers create a positive teaching atmosphere.
However, not all the teachers have sense of humor and thus future college programme
for teachers should dedicate more importance to that
