In order to test the efficacy of using cooperation scripts in combination with animations to teach the passive in an advanced language classroom, we designed an intervention study with two groups. The first group received instruction with animations on the grammatical structure of the passive and the second group received the same instruction and animations as the first group, but in addition they were given a cooperation script to use in their small group work. The study uses a quasi-experimental design with a post-test and delayed post-test. The learners were university students in advanced German who had received classroom instruction and spent time in a German-speaking country. Therefore, they had explicit instruction on the morphology and function of the passive as is customary in first- and second-year textbooks for English-speaking learners. This study shows that students with the cooperation script perform better on open-ended tasks than students who worked independently.
ZusammenfassungVerzahnung ist in Bezug auf Blended Learning (BL) ein Schlagwort, das die komplexe Relation von Präsenz- und Online-Lernen versinnbildlicht. Dass das Verhältnis der Lernmodi zueinander ein kritischer Faktor ist und deren wechselseitiger Einbeziehung eine wesentliche Funktion zukommt, darauf weisen mehrere Studien hin, die Probleme im Lernprozess auf ein Defizit an Integration zurückführen. Nach wie vor ist das Phänomen der Integration in BL-Umgebungen theoretisch nur ansatzweise erforscht. Um diese Forschungslücke zu schließen, untersucht diese Fallstudie mittels eines theoriegenerierenden Ansatzes Verfahren und Techniken, die Verbindungen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Lernmodi des BL etablieren. Auf Grundlage empirischer Daten, die zu einer BL-Unterrichtseinheit in einem DaF-Sprachkurs an einer irischen Universität erhoben wurden, wird ein Modell zu Integrationsmechanismen entwickelt, das Lehrenden wie Forschenden als Werkzeug dazu dienen kann, Integration in BL-Arrangements quantitativ wie auch qualitativ zu erfassen.
