Cultural values of Alaska Native people acknowledge laughter as good medicine. It is heard in their words and stories.
To investigate how and in what ways laughter impacts learning from the learners' perspective, cancer education course evaluations were reviewed and a survey administered.
94% (235/259) of Community Health Aides and Community Health Practitioners surveyed emphasized the importance of laughter to support adult learning. Written comments are grouped into three main themes: (1) supporting a comfortable learning community, (2) relieving stress, and (3) enhancing learning.
This study demonstrates the value and significance of laughter to support people in their learning journey.
阿拉斯加原住民的文化价值观认为笑是一味良药。在他们的言语和故事中都能听到这一点。
为了从学习者的角度调查笑如何以及以何种方式影响学习,对癌症教育课程评估进行了审查并开展了一项调查。
在接受调查的社区健康助理和社区健康从业者中,94%(235/259)强调了笑对支持成人学习的重要性。书面评论分为三个主要主题:(1)支持一个舒适的学习社区,(2)减轻压力,(3)增强学习效果。
本研究证明了笑在支持人们学习过程中的价值和意义。
