Measuring the Effects of a Liberal Arts Education on the Perception of Poetry
Wainer, Howard; Schofer, Peter
American Educational Research Journal, 14, 2, 125-35, Spr 77
Ten poems were read and evaluated for perceived similarity by freshmen and senior college students majoring in engineering and literature, to determine whether their education affected the students' ability to read and subjectively perceive poetry. Results showed that literary instruction did not change the students' ability to perceive poetry. (Author/MV)
