| Abstract: | This study examined the instructional value of a haiku writing assignment (HWA) from graduate students' perspective via a survey of their opinions. Fifty-eight students wrote and submitted haiku over the course of a semester. A 10-item survey instrument was used to elicit students' opinions about the assignment. The probability of responses to each of the items on the survey was compared to chance occurrence. Chi Square tests found that students enjoyed the assignment and the example haiku; they believed that the assignment helped them grasp concepts and be more engaged with the course content; and recommended the use of such an assignment. However, students did not believe that this assignment aided their learning or influenced their course grade. They also reported no intentions of writing haiku for academic or other purposes on their own. It is concluded that though there is value in a haiku writing assignment, it must be used selectively. The data as well as implications for educators for using such assignment are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
