Το χιούμορ και η διδακτική του αξιοποίηση στο πλαίσιο του κριτικού γραμματισμού: Ανίχνευση των στάσεων των εκπαιδευτικών

Περίληψη

The goal of this study is to explore the attitudes of secondary education teachers towards the teaching of humor within a critical literacy framework. This questionnaire-based research took place in the course of 8 training seminars, which were aimed at familiarizing language teachers with an online lesson-planning tool (wiki) that includes an annotated database of humorous texts. Our findings indicate a lack of familiarity with the theory, the sociopragmatic effects, and the teaching of humor. Participants evaluate the critical teaching of humor as interesting and innovative, but simultaneously express a number of concerns regarding its applicability, which can be attributed not only to practical difficulties but also to long-standing biases regarding the purposes and standards of language education.
