Humour in the classroom: Teachers’ perceptions

The key questions of this study are whether Greek primary school teachers acknowledge the benefits and risks of involving humour in the classroom, how important they consider it, and to what extent and in which way they incorporate it into their teaching. Exploring the teachers’ perceptions on the importance and use of humour, may help remove misconceptions and traditional approaches associated with the notion, that humour is not appropriate in teaching or that humour concerns only those who “have it in them”
