Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Humor is a serious business. This study explores the perception of students in Thailand on the use of humor in business classrooms indicating that humorous classroom brings about physiological and emotional benefits to students as it relieves tension and stress, makes the classroom atmosphere more comfortable and less intimidating, and facilitates better teacher-student relationship. Around 358 students from a business school in Thailand were surveyed and the results found that most of the students prefer to have certain degree of humor in classroom as opposed to the general contention that Thai classrooms should command decorum and order. This instigates a welcome shift as Thailand prepares for the full implementation of Thailand 4.0 and the education sector is looking for ways into which classrooms could facilitate a more participatory, conducive and creative learning settings. Further discussion of the results and recommendations for future study are presented in the paper.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
