Sažetak
The study investigates the difference it makes what role participants play within one story in a TIE programme. The actantial model, created by French semiotician A.J. Greimas, is used as a tool for reducing a variety of roles that students can play within a TIE programme to a reasonably small number of universal types of roles - actants. The investigation is limited to the TIE programme open for the participants' integral participation, based on classically structured story, where the participants are placed within the dramatic events. The investigation is done through the project in which the four variants of the TIE programme are developed, all of them founded on the same dramatic story. In each variant the students play different role – function as different actant. Each variant was performed for two classes and the investigation of the participants' comprehension of the dramatic world was carried out after each performance through the questionnaires, students' stories and pictures. Quantitative data are analysed according to the standard statistical procedures. The differences in the results between the four groups of the students that participate in different variants of the TIE programme are found in almost all parts of the investigation which suggests that the role / actantial position significantly influences the students' comprehension of the dramatic world, especially their evaluations of the morality of the roles from the story and of the whole dramatic world, their inclination towards forming more or less firm attitudes. The role / actantial position influences also the students' distance from the events. In the final part of the study, together with the conclusions, the recommendations and strategies are suggested, aimed to support the process of devising TIE programmes.
