QUESTION TYPES IN LITERATURE TEXTBOOKS FOR YOUNGER SCHOOL AGE

Summary/Abstract: The literature textbook is a chrestomathy of literary art texts designed and structured for school literature teaching. The fundamental purpose of each textbook is to acquire knowledge. Hence, the literature textbook also has its educational purpose: acquiring knowledge about literature. Questions and tasks are structural textbook elements. Nemeth-Jajić (2007) points out that the textbook suggests an approach to learning and teaching by being more represented by certain types of questions and tasks. The theoretical part of the paper will provide an overview of psychology, pedagogical, didactic and methodical literature that starts from different taxonomies and question type classifications in learning and teaching. The research part of the paper will present the results of quantitative and qualitative analysis of literature textbooks for younger school age. It has the purpose to answer the research question: What question types (convergent or divergent, i.e. lower or higher-order questions) encourage literary communication with literary art texts? Given the obtained research results of the question types in methodical instruments of the analysed textbooks, the paper will determine which cognitive learning level occurs in developing literary literacy with younger school-age students.
