Name of article:
HUMOR AS A COMPONENT OF PEDAGOGICAL SKILL IN M. LUTHER’S WORKS
The article examines the use of humor in the activity of the reformer Martin Luther. In the Middle Ages, laughter existed only in folk, carnival layer of humor, and was not used by religious leaders. M. Luther is an exception; he integrated humor into his life and work. This fact became a basis for analyzing in what situations, how and for what purpose the reformer turned to humor. The material for the study was the works of the reformer, his letters and secondary literature in Russian, German and English. The study allows to identify the specifics of his humor (within the framework of theology, for criticism, support and consolation, intellectual development, popularization of his teachings), the techniques for a comic effect (comparisons, repetition, polysemy, grotesque, sarcasm, mixing styles, irony).
Modern pedagogy is actively studying humor as a technology for creating a positive educational environment, which makes it relevant to turn to the experience of the reformer, who disseminated new teachings and made a great contribution to teaching the basics of faith and literacy, actively turning to laughter. Humor is an integral part of Luther’s heritage, and although there is a time and cultural barrier between him and today, introduction to his experience convinces that this pedagogical tool has always been of psychological and educational significance, and when used skillfully, it contributes to the formation of a positive image of a teacher.
