Each teacher must have different ways of teaching. There are very serious and some are very humorous. When we ask the students, the type of guruql they are favorite, the way they choose answers is the teacher who teaches humorously. Nuance of humor still not erased nuance seriousness and discipline in learning. Such conditions as a whole can be easier.
Being a favorite teacher, of course, becomes the hope and desire of all teachers to be able to play with his students. Definitely as well as you as a Father or Mother teacher. we must know, the teacher who crucified his disciple there is a special sign, it always awaited his presence. If he is not present, his students will try to find or try it. Instead of having his students' empty hours flowing, have you ever been in school doing so, always waiting for the teachers to wake up jokes in the study room and not care. When taught, during break time students still feel less, and so forth. Being a teacher who also does not like to obey all the students' wishes. Because if the teacher obeys all the wishes of students can be even out of the goals and activities of teaching and learning process. [1]
but is it wrong to have a method of learning by inserting humor in every teaching process. I myself even menggap this is something that needs to be done by a teacher. this is part of a method or strategy that captivates the students or students. so they do not get tired of following the subjects. let alone a teacher of humor is a teacher of a subject that is hated by many students, say mathematics. too many students who do not like this one subject. so with the presence of a teacher like this, a humorous teacher makes students slowly love it. of course we all know that to like an eye pelaran it certainly by liking the style of learning in the appearance by the teacher.
Benefits of humor in teaching
Here are some benefits that can be learned from alternative learning by using the humor method :
- The learning process becomes more fun, more fun and not easily bored
Teachers who teach with humor will create a fun, relaxed and rigid learning environment. This gives a positive value because students can enjoy more made, not afraid or depressed. In fact, they become more daring to issue ideas and opinions. As for the teacher, it will be easier to respond with empathy and appreciate all the ideas and opinions of the students
Established communication and intimacy between students and teachers
with class humor. the figure of the teacher in front of them does not scare them. so they can easily ask questions or simply give opinions about the material they are currently following.Makes the brain healthy and fresh
In the midst of learning, a teacher can insert mild humor that makes everyone laugh. If students can laugh it means we've helped eliminate psychological problems that can hinder learning, such as shame, fear, distress, and the like. Physical and health science laugh will also relax the important muscles associated with brain cells. Laughter can make our brains fresh and healthy.Improving student achievement
you must have experienced it, every Susana learning without his chest humor it would aka very boring. the classroom atmosphere will be less enthusiastic, lethargic and depressed. Such conditions make it difficult for students to understand the material presented by the teacher.
Meanwhile, if the process of learning by inserting a little humor in it can bring a fun atmosphere for students, a class full of openness, familiar then the passion of learning will be higher so that students will tend to more easily remember and understand a subject matter. [2]
Then How to build a sense of humor in the classroom?
In practice, developing a sense of humor in the classroom can not be done haphazardly. not everyone can do it, but it requires its own way and its own tips. Here are some ideas that I quoted from sources akhmadsudrajat.wordpress.com.
- Connect with the material being taught.
if not used to it, maybe this will be the most difficult idea to apply because not all the material we teach to the students can be inserted humor. But if you are able to do so, then the humor that is connected with the subject matter can be believed as a form of reinforcement that can help students to digest and store information better in the long-term memory system.
use video or image form relevant to material
For this second idea, you are not as difficult as the first idea. let alone digital diera is very easy to find hundreds of images available diinternet. live you quote a picture or type of video that has a correlation with the subjects you are presenting for your learners.Do it at the right time and situation
humor in the classroom, do not need to be done throughout the lesson time, do not let the study room into a stand up comedy stage for you. Serve your sense of humor at certain moments. For example, when students start to show signs of saturation or fuss in the classroom. Try not to repeat the same topic of humor in the same class, If you repeat it, it is not the excitement of the students that will be obtained but instead becomes something boring and annoying for your studentsconvey ethically and not demean the students
the interaction process between a teacher and a student is an educational interaction. however you should try to display humrs that do not contain harassing elements, contain sar, and other things that you think are dirty and bad for your students to hear or see.Easy to understand and adjust to the level of student development
a humorist teacher means that a picture he thinks will be funny and he thinks his student would like it. but as a result, no one laughed, even the atmosphere of the study room is flat. because the content or images chosen by a teacher is too high, so that learners can not conclude or digest it. [3]
That's how you get in your class, so that students always digest easily about the subjects you teach them. Humor can be an effective instrument in growing emotional intelligence, improving the quality of the inner relationship, improving the stability of the body and mental, and develop your brain function.
