Students Attitude toward Statistics

The study used the Survey Attitudes Toward Statistics (SATS) devised by Candace Schau to investigate the attitudes toward statistics and the relationship of those attitudes to the students sex, course and performance. Participants responses are analyzed through mean, t-test and pearson correlation. Findings revealed that students have positive attitude toward statistics, though some display a negative attitude on statistics. The students have different attitudes when clustered according to their sex, course and performance. A pattern on the students performance and attitudes was revealed, the more positive the attitude is, the higher the performance.
