Despite the great importance of statistical knowledge in academic, scientific and everyday settings, it is one of the disciplines that convey less enthusiasm and more negative attitudes out of all the subjects in the curriculum. This paper presents a study about the attitudes towards statistics displayed by Secondary School trainee teachers undertaking the Spanish Language, English Language and Social Sciences programmes at University of Tolima, Colombia. To that end, we applied the Scale of Attitudes Towards Statistics, a Likert scale measuring attitudes towards statistics which is designed and widely used by researchers in the line of enquiry that focuses on the affective domain within Statistics Education. Our findings show that the sampled students ignore and value unfavourably the usefulness of the subjects for their studies and future teacher performance.
La estadística es una de las materias más importantes a nivel académico, científico y cotidiano, y, sin embargo, generan en los estudiantes poco sentimiento de agrado y actitudes negativas. En este trabajo se presenta un estudio acerca de las actitudes hacia la estadística que manifiestan los profesores de secundaria en formación de la Universidad del Tolima en Colombia, de los planes de formación de Lengua Castellana, Lengua inglesa y Ciencias Sociales. Para ello, se utilizó la escala tipo Likert de actitudes hacia la estadística de Estrada diseñada y ampliamente utilizada por los investigadores de la línea de investigación del dominio afectivo de la Educación estadística. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes encuestados desconocen y valoran desfavorablemente la utilidad de la materia en sus estudios y en su futuro desempeño profesional.
