Overview: Paradigmatisches und narratives Denken über Unterricht am Beispiel der SportpädagogikAusgehend von der Unterscheidung zwischen paradigmatischem und narrativem Denken entwickelt Roland Messmer die Idee, dass Erzählen und Unterrichten in einem unmittelbaren Zusammenhang stehen. In den Interviews der untersuchten (Sport-)Lehrpersonen konnte er durch eine mehrdimensionale Typenbildung vier Denkmuster ausdifferenzieren. Eine im Anschluss an diese empirischen Erkenntnisse erfolgte narrative Textanalyse zeigt, dass sich die ausdifferenzierten Denkmuster auch auf die Textstrukturen unterschi
