IMPACT OF SENSE OF HUMOR AND EMOTIONAL MATURITY ON SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS: A REVIEW

Abstract

               A key component of good teaching and learning is the influence of secondary school teachers' sense of humor and emotional maturity, which affects the classroom environment, teacher-student relationships, and teaching efficacy. According to research, teachers who have a good sense of humor tend to get along better with their students and foster a more positive and welcoming classroom environment, which can boost academic achievement and student motivation. The ability to control one's emotions, relate to one's students, and act professionally even in trying circumstances is a sign of emotional maturity, which can lower stress, increase job satisfaction, and improve general wellbeing. Research indicates that teachers who exhibit high emotional maturity are generally more effective in their teaching practices. There are notable differences in the effectiveness of instruction between male and female teachers who exhibit extreme emotional maturity and immaturity. In addition, studies have shown how important a sense of humor is in relation to emotional maturity, and the results indicate that male teachers typically have a more developed sense of humor than female teachers. Overall, humor and emotional maturity have a variety of effects on secondary school teachers, and knowing how these elements interact can help with professional development, teacher preparation, and school leadership.
