Abstract

This paper explores the significant role that humor and creativity play in the teaching and learning process. By examining various pedagogical theories and empirical studies, the paper highlights how humor can foster a positive classroom environment, enhance student engagement, and facilitate deeper learning. In addition, the creative approaches in teaching are discussed in relation to cognitive development and problem-solving skills. Ultimately, the integration of humor and creativity into educational practices not only enriches the curriculum but also promotes a more inclusive and motivating atmosphere for both educators and students.
