Learners’ approaches to poetic metaphor: A think aloud study with secondary school students in Grade 6 and 9

Abstract: This article investigates the challenges of understanding poetic metaphor for lower secondary students. It draws on a think aloud study that was carried out with 69 students from Grade 6 (mean age 12) and 9 (mean age 15) in Germany (higher academic track and middle schools) who thought aloud on three different poems. A coding system was developed deductively and inductively and applied to the protocols. Also, a procedure of global assessment was applied on the basis of the codings. For selected cases a sequent… Show more

“…Peskin's results are consistent with those of some earlier studies, most notably Harker (1994), who observed that 10th graders mostly provided literal responses to poems, with little evidence of symbolic interpretation, and Svensson (1987), who found little evidence of symbolic interpretations of poems among 11‐ and 14‐year‐olds. Similar results were obtained by Pieper and Strutz (2018), who found significantly fewer explicitly metaphorical interpretations of a poem among ninth graders in a German school compared to 12th graders.…”

“…Dabei wurde deutlich, dass die Schüler/innen in sehr unterschiedlicher Weise sprachfähig sind, wenn es um das Verstehen und die Auslegung der Texte geht. Diese Unterschiede sind offenbar mit der Verfügbarkeit eines sprachlichen Repertoires verbunden, das für das Interpretieren herangezogen werden kann (Pieper/Strutz 2018;Pieper/Wieser 2023). Auch aus diesem Ergebnis resultiert ein Interesse daran, genauer in die Fachkultur des Literaturunterrichts zu schauen, dies ganz besonders mit Blick auf die sprachlichen Möglichkeiten, die der Unterricht jeweils eröffnet.…”

“…De laatsten zijn dan ook beter in staat om de metaforische inhoud te interpreteren. De interpretatie van poëtische metaforen blijft voor leerlingen lange tijd problematisch: tot ver in de middelbareschooltijd hebben zij moeite om hier betekenis aan te geven (Peskin & Wells-Jopling, 2012;Pieper & Strutz, 2018). Pieper en Strutz (2018) rapporteerden in hun onderzoek naar de ontwikkeling van het metaforisch begrip slechts beperkte verschillen tussen leerlingen van twaalf en vijftien jaar.…”

“…Onderzoek naar leesgedrag leert dat er betrekkelijk weinig verschillen zijn tussen leerlingen en dat ook de ontwikkeling daarvan beperkt is. Er zijn weliswaar afwijkingen binnen groepen leerlingen, zoals tussen zwakke en sterke leerlingen (Pieper & Strutz, 2018), maar het is opmerkelijk dat de eerstejaarsstudenten in het onderzoek van Earthman (1992) en van Peskin (1998) over minder vaardigheden lijken te beschikken dan de veel jongere scholieren in de studie van Dias (1996)…”
