“…In general, it has been found that humor increases enjoyment, reduces boredom, enhances attention, facilitates retention, produces a less stressful learning atmosphere, improves student–teacher relationships, promotes creativity, augments student sense of belonging to the class, increases learning speed, elevates motivation, and provokes thought (Bieg et al., 2019; Cooper et al., 2018; Cornett, 1986; Jeder, 2015; Lim, 2017; LoSchiavo & Shatz, 2005; Shibinski & Martin, 2010). Ultimately, the hypothesis that an appropriate use of humor improves learning and student performance is supported by empirical evidence (Garner, 2006; Gorham & Christophel, 1990; Luo & Zhan, 2021; Ziv, 1988). However, although isolating and quantifying its influence on learning is difficult, in the end humor is simply popular among students.…”
