| Summary: | Students often display anxiety, fear and preconceived negative notions about mathematics and statistics, which adversely affect their enthusiasm to engage with these courses. To develop a teaching model that would successfully address these anxiety-related issues and enhance students' learning experience, this study used an iterative process of analysing the data obtained through optional open-ended questionnaires and Likert-scale questionnaires, as well as from case studies, followed by modifying the teaching model accordingly and aligning it with students' requirements. This case study summarises the research process from start to finish, describing the detailed process of data collection and how the challanges were addressed. |
