Abstract

Humor has the capacity to offer a variety of benefits to educational settings such as: creativity enhancement, community building, increased problem-solving capacity and much more. Yet, it requires mindful implementation to avoid negative consequences. In this paper, I provide an overview of the theories, research, and practical applications of humor in education. I make the argument that the mindful use of humor in education has benefits that extend beyond content retention because it also humanizes the educational process.
