“…The quest for the most effective pedagogical factors that enhance learning and retention of knowledge among students continues to motivate research into new instructional methods beyond the traditional lecture method. In the era of ICT, many pedagogical efforts are integrating collaborative technology and the likes (Boyle et al, 2014;Dinauer, 2018;Vasquez-Colina, Maslin-Ostrowski, & Baba, n.d.;Kilinc, Tarman & Aydin, 2018).…”

“…It involves persistent lack of confidence to understand concepts, problems and theories in statistics and a resulting inability to solve questions on them. A number of studies have examined the phenomenon of statistics anxiety from different perspectives: causes and effects (Chew & Dillon, 2014;Condron, Becker, & Bzhetaj, 2018;Huang, 2018;Lavasani et al, 2014;Markle, 2017;Najmi, Raza, & Qazi, 2018;Slootmaeckers et al, 2014;Zare et al, 2011); disciplinary and sex differences (Baloğlu, Deniz, & Kesici, 2011;Bourne, 2018;Faber, Drexler, Stappert, & Eichhorn, 2018;Gray et al, 2015;Najmi et al, 2018;Onwuegbuzie & Daley, 1999;Paechter, Macher, Martskvishvili, Wimmer, & Papousek, 2017;Rodarte-Luna & Sherry, 2008;Tonsing, 2018;Ulrich, n.d.;Walsh & Ugumba-Agwunobi, 2002); and strategies for overcoming statistics anxiety (Boyle et al, 2014;Ciarocco et al, 2013;Dinauer, 2018;Dowker, Sarkar, & Looi, 2016;Hartnett, 2013), among others. Statistics anxiety has been attributed to a number of causes.…”

The current study sought to identify the effects of democratic factors on the perception of pre-service teachers (with diploma as their highest level of education) on the teaching and learning of the Educational Research course during the fall 2017 semester in one of the private universities in Ghana. With a survey research design, three hundred and twenty (320) pre-service teachers, who were enrolled in the fall 2017 sandwich programme, were randomly sampled to participate in the study. The findings revealed significant differences between male and female pre-service teachers perception of the teaching of research, relevance of research and their statistics anxiety. Also, the age independent variable indicated a significant difference on the statistics anxiety construct only whereas the other two constructs were not significant. There were significant correlations among age, years of teaching, and statistics anxiety. The implication of the study for practice is discussed.
