Abstract

Psychology students generally dread their undergraduate statistics course. The current study explored the detrimental external factors that influence students to perform poorly in statistics courses. In-depth interviews were conducted on six undergraduate psychology students from International Islamic University Malaysia who failed a statistics course and the data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Eight factors were obtained (with a total of 19 sub-factors) and were arranged under the Lecturer, Social Support, Administrative, and Environmental categories. The findings of the study would provide statistics lecturers with a better understanding of why many of their students face difficulty in the course.
