Abstract

U središtu proučavanja ovog rada je humor kao jedan od oblika komunikacije koji se u školi svakodnevno koristi. Humoru se, kao jednom od poželjnijih osobina kod nastavnica i nastavnika, daje premalo pažnje u istraživanjima obrazovanja na ovim prostorima. Istraživanje se također bavi i osobnim karakteristikama nastavnica i nastavnika te njihovim zadovoljstvom poslom, s naglaskom na zadovoljstvo profesionalnom ulogom, kao odrednicama koje doprinose razredno-nastavnom ozračju. Obuhvaćeno je 200 srednjoškolskih nastavnica (74,1%) i nastavnika (25,9%) iz 14 škola gimnazijskog, strukovnog i mješovitog programa s područja triju županija sjeverozapadne Hrvatske te Grada Zagreba. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju djelomičnu povezanost stilova humora s osobnim karakteristikama nastavnica i nastavnika. Utvrđene su spolne razlike na način da nastavnici koriste negativne stilova humora više od nastavnica, iako obje skupine koriste pozitivne stilove humora značajno više od negativnih. Također, pokazalo se da su nastavnice emocionalno kompetentnije od nastavnika. I nastavnice i nastavnici postižu podjednake rezultate na mjerama samopoštovanja i zadovoljstva poslom. Zaključak je da se temeljem pojedinih stilova humora kod nastavnica i nastavnika može predvidjeti njihovo samopoštovanje i emocionalna kompetencija. U radu se raspravlja i o implikacijama rezultata u kontekstu važnosti osobnih karakteristika nastavnica i nastavnika u njihovoj profesionalnoj ulozi te o razlozima zbog kojih je korisno uključiti pozitivne stilove humora u svakodnevnu komunikaciju u razredu.

Abstract (english)

This paper examines humour as a form of communication that is being used daily in the school environment. As one of desirable teacher qualities it hasn’t been receiving enough attention in local educational research. This paper also examines the teachers’ personal traits and their job satisfaction with a special emphasis on their satisfaction with their professional role as determinants affecting the classroom and teaching environment. The research involved 200 female (74,1%) and male (25,9%) secondary school teachers working in 14 secondary schools with a gymnasium, vocational or mixed programme in three counties of north-eastern Croatia and the City of Zagreb. The research results showed that there is a partial correlation between the teachers’ usage of different humour styles and their personal traits. Some gender differences were found in the sense that male teachers used negatives styles of humour more often. However, both groups generally tended to use positive styles of humour more often. The results also showed that female teachers as more emotionally competent than male. There were no gender differences on the self-esteem and job satisfaction scale. The research concluded that the teachers' level of self-esteem and emotional competence can be predicted based on some of the humour styles they use. The paper also discusses the implications of the results for the teachers’ professional role as well as the reasons why positive humour styles should be included in everyday classroom communication.
