Humor in Swedish language education - help or hinder? : A qualitative study on Swedish teachers` attitude and use of humor as a strategy in the Swedish language classroom. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien är att bidra med kunskaper om humor i svenskundervisningen i årskurs 4–6. Frågeställningarna som besvaras är hur lärare ser på humoranvändande i svenskundervisningen, samt deras användande av humor. För att uppnå syftet har semistrukturerade intervjuer använts och de teoretiska utgångspunkterna för arbetet är den sociokulturella teorin, inkongruensteorin samt Shannon och Weavers kommunikationsmodell. Resultatet visar att lärarna ser både möjligheter och utmaningar gällande humoranvändande men att det med en viss fingertoppskänsla kan gynna elevernas lärande och lärmiljö. Det har även visat sig av studien att de intervjuade lärarna använder sig av humor i svenskundervisningen med syfte att skapa ett roligare innehåll och ett tryggare klassrumsklimat. 

Abstract [en]

The purpose of the study is to contribute with knowledge about humor in Swedish education in grades 4−6. The research questions addressed are how teachers view the use of humor in Swedish language teaching, and their potential use of humor. To achieve this purpose, semi−structured interviews were conducted and the theoretical framework for the study are the sociocultural theory, incongruity theory and Shannon and Weaver’s communication model. The results show that teachers see both opportunities and challenges regarding the use of humor, but with a certain level of sensitivity, it can benefit students’ learning and the learning environment. The study also revealed that the interviewed teachers use humor in Swedish teaching with the aim of creating more engaging content and a safer classroom climate.
