| A collaborative effort led by the School of Life Sciences at The Chinese University of Hong Kong has recently yielded a publication in the International Journal of Educational Research Open. The study highlights a compelling finding: A teaching style with a standardized planned humour incorporation method is highly correlated to student-perceived performance across three different disciplines.

This achievement is part of a large-scale Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant (TDLEG) project spearheaded by Dr. Alex C. Koon. The interdisciplinary team includes educators from five prominent universities in Hong Kong: CityU, CUHK, HKBU, HKU, and PolyU. Together, they share a vision of leveraging appropriate humor to boost student motivation and academic performance.
With over HKD 1.6 million in funding, the TDLEG project has also organized impactful events, such as the inaugural International Symposium on Humour Pedagogical Approaches held in May 2024. This initiative continues to pave the way for innovative teaching strategies that inspire both educators and learners.
Dr. Koon will be sharing his insights on this topic at the upcoming Pedagogic Research Knowledge Exchange organized by CLEAR. The session is scheduled for Wed, 22 January 2025, at 11:00 AM on Zoom. Interested participants can register here:
