Individuelle Textbegegnung und kooperative Aufgabenbearbeitung: Verstehensprozesse beim Nachvollziehen der Perspektiven literarischer Figuren
by Daniela SeylerDaniela Seyler untersucht die Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Formen der individuellen Textbegegnung auf die anschließende Bearbeitung von Aufgaben zum Figurenverstehen in kooperativen Kleingruppen. Dabei werden eine weitgehend ungesteuerte und eine durch konkrete Aufgaben gesteuerte Vorbereitungsvariante vergleichend betrachtet. Das für die Auswertung mittels Qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse entwickelte Kategoriensystem verbindet Aspekte der erkennbaren Textverstehensleistung mit Aspekten der Interaktion, so dass ein umfassender Blick auf die Prozesse in der Gruppe möglich wird. Es wird deutlich, inwiefern Vorgaben durch Vorbereitungsaufgaben den Textverstehensprozess in der Gruppe beeinträchtigen können. Die Autorin veranschaulicht mit ihrer Analyse zudem die starken Einflüsse figurenbezogener Wertungen, frühzeitig fixierter, einseitiger Sichtweisen sowie der Diskussionsfähigkeit der Gruppenmitglieder auf den kooperativen Verstehensprozess.
