• W12293709 abstract "Statistics anxiety is prevalent among students whose academic background has little statistical training. The development and psychometric properties of anxiety scales and the factors affecting anxiety have been extensively studied for more than twenty years, but few studies focused on how to reduce the anxiety for graduate students in the social sciences. The present study explores how anxiety can be reduced by various innovative instructional methods. A repeated measures ANCOVA with controlling for individual differences is utilized to analyze a sample data from 21 social science graduate students at a Midwest university. The study shows that the combining application-oriented teaching methods with instructors' attentiveness to students' anxiety is a significantly effective way (p KEY WORDS: Statistics anxiety: Statistics education; Learning statistics; Teaching statistics; Innovative instructional methods; Teaching strategy ********** Many graduate students in the social sciences need to take as part of the academic training, but these students often do not necessarily have backgrounds in or from their undergraduate degree or other graduate training. In the classrooms, anxiety is noticeably prevalent among graduate students whose academic background has little statistical training. According to Onwuegbuzie. Slate, Paterson, Watson, and Schwartz (2000), 75% to 80% of graduate students appear to experience uncomfortable levels of anxiety. As a result, conducting is often rated as the lowest skill in terms of academic competence (Huntley, Schneider, and Aronson, 2000). Statistics anxiety has been defined simply as anxiety that occurs as a result of encountering in any form and at any level (Onwuegbuzie, DaRos, & Ryan, 1997), and has been found to negatively affect learning (Onwuegbuzie & Seaman, 1995). Many researchers (Lazar, 1990; Lalonde & Gardner, 1993; Onwuegbuzie, 2000b) suggested that learning is as difficult as learning a foreign language. On the other hand, anxiety sometimes is not necessarily due to the lack of training or insufficient skills, but due to the misperception about and negative experiences in a statistical class. For instance, students often think they do not have enough training so that they cannot do well in statistical classes. With fear of failing the course, they delay enrolling in courses as long as possible, which often leads to failure to complete their degree programs (Onwuegbuzie, 1997). The lack of self-efficacy and higher anxiety in keep many students away from engaging in research work or further to pursue an academic career. Therefore, becomes one of the most anxiety-inducing courses in their programs of study (Blalock, 1987; Caine, Centa, Doroff, Horowitz, & Wisenbaker, 1978; Schacht & Stewart, 1990; Zeidner, 1991). In the literature, anxiety has been extensively studied for more than two decades. The majority of the studies have focused primarily on measurement of and factors contributing to anxiety. The development of anxiety instruments was derived from anxiety assessment. For example, the Statistical Anxiety Scale (Pretorius & Norman, 1992) was developed by replacing the word mathematics with the word statistics in some items of the Mathematics Anxiety Scale (Fennema & Sherman, 1976; Betz, 1978). The reliability and factor analysis results showed good psychometric properties of the Statistics Anxiety Scale. In 1991, Zeidner replaced the word mathematics with the word statistics in a 40-item version of the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (Richard & Woolfolk, 1980) and developed the Statistics Anxiety Inventory. …" @default.
