“…Women show more posi ve a tudes about these components than men. Previous studies (Rejon-Guardia et al, 2019;Cladera et al, 2018;Homlik and Luik, 2017;Hannigan et al, 2014;Stanisavljevic et al, 2014) documented that the female gender is more posi ve when it comes to Difficulty and Effort. Regarding the students' earlier interest in valua on, significant differences exist in Value.…”

Property valua on is a capstone course for real estate professionals and an essen al component of core knowledge in real estate educa on. The prominence of real estate in the investment market and informa on asymmetries have created a demand for property valua on all around the world. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that real estate students rarely have posi ve a tudes toward property valua on. This condi on can hinder understanding the contents and acquiring the requisite valua on skills as a tudes are cri cal for learning. It has been contended that developing posi ve a tudes should be the desired course goal. This study employs quan ta ve research designs to evaluate the a tudes of real estate students toward property valua on to determine whether the desired goal has been achieved. A self-administered ques onnaire containing a modified SATS-36 a tudes assessment scale was distributed to all 87 Higher Na onal Diploma (HND) I students a er the first semester's valua on course. The findings suggested that the sampled students' a tudes toward property valua on were not nega ve. The students recognise the importance of property valua on for their careers, are ready to put up the effort to understand and acquire valua on skills, and believe they can learn property valua on. This study recommends that the pilot instrument used in this study be expanded to other polytechnics, universi es, and na ons in order to gather general data that may be used to guide the development of posi ve a tudes.

“…Research on attitudes toward statistics in university populations of various specialties has gained strength in recent years (Guillén-Gámez et al, 2020b;Paul & Cunnington, 2017;Cladera et al, 2018;Chowdhury, 2018). For example, Mazana et al (2019) studied the attitudes of 869 students towards learning mathematics in Tanzania, finding that, although initially they had a positive attitude, this decreased as their studies progressed to higher levels.…”

The learning of statistics has been of high importance since the implementation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), and the new university degrees of the faculties of education in Spain have created curricula integrating subjects related to statistics and educational research. The subject is considered by most students to be difficult to learn, due not only to cognitive factors, but also to the attitude of the individual, a crucial factor in their learning. Therefore, the purposes of this study are: (1) to know the level of attitude regarding statistics of the future primary education teachers; and (2) to know what factors (gender, age, type of access to university, average admission score, frequency of class attendance, degree of involvement in work group) help to significantly predict these attitudes. For this, an ex post facto non-experimental design was implemented with a sample of 66 students from the primary education degree of the University of Almería (Spain). They completed an instrument based on attitudes towards statistics, which consisted of 16 items classified into three dimensions: negative emotional (threat, fear, tension); positive emotional (loving, liking, fun); and utility. Among the findings, the students exhibited an average level in the global attitude towards statistics. Regarding the global attitude, the results showed that the age of the students, the type of access to the university, the admission score, interest in the subject, and involvement in the work group influenced the attitudes of future students education teachers; while gender and class attendance did not show a significant influence. Further research is recommended to validate these preliminary findings in each of the instrument dimensions.
