Urgency and Implementation of Humor in Learning

Abstract

Learning is the central point of interaction between teachers and students. On this basis, the learning that takes place is ideally carried out in a fun way (conducive learning climate). One of the efforts that can be carried out to liven up the learning atmosphere is through the teacher's humorous approach to students. This study aims to describe the urgency and implementation of humor in Islamic religious education learning. The type of research approach is qualitative research with a literature study method. Sources of data and study analysis materials are based on scientific references through credible websites, such as Google Scholar, DOAJ, and SINTA. The results of this study indicate that the urgent humor approach is applied by educators in the PAI learning process as an attraction and increasing student enthusiasm for learning, as well as minimizing the level of academic stress in students. Likewise, the main aspect that can be considered in implementing humor is the material being taught, the age of the students, the right time, and most importantly the humor provided must be educative.
