Abstract

learning through various means is one of the academic challenges in connection with the learning of knowledge and skills. With this important factor in mind, this quantitative cum qualitative study is designed to know the perceptions of the undergrads of a public sector University of English, Economics, Education, Urdu, and Management Sciences’ disciplines on the use of humor by the teachers as an educational technique. The results of the survey show that respondents felt that teaching with a blend of comedy is the best way to teach at higher education to ensure transfer and reception of knowledge and skills. They opine that such teachers are liked most who listen and respond well by adopting this method rather than serious teachers who create an environment less effective to enhance knowledge and skills at higher education. Therefore, the study suggests that humorous way of teaching should be considered as one of the effective andragogical approaches to teach future professionals and be encouraged officially to use it as an educational tool.
