Sažetak
Humour is a topic that has been researched since ancient times. The prevailing
opinion is that humour is welcome in education. There are various
aspects of humour that teachers should be aware of. Some of those aspects
or types of humour enhance motivation and learning, while others should be
avoided.
This article is an updated version of an MA thesis covering humour in teaching
mathematics, defended in 2023. The article provides a short overview of
humour theories and the history of humour research. It also provides a review
of types of humour used in various mathematical contexts, illustrating them
with examples.
The final part of the article shows the results of a study that looked into the
attitudes of students – future generalist teachers – towards using humour in
teaching mathematics.
