Abstract
The aim of this study was to verify whether there are significant differences between the profiles of the mean score students from a sample of three universities, regarding attitude toward the statistics’ course and attitude toward the statistical field. The universities were: Universidad Cristobal Colon (UCC), Universidad Politecnica de Aguascalientes (UPA) and Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi (UASLP). The Attitudes toward Statistics (ATS) scale -proposed by Wise in 1985- was utilized for this purpose. The survey was conducted among 672 students enrolled in mathematics courses, and data were processed through discriminant analysis. The results suggest that the ATS of students at UPA are distinct from the attitude observed on students at UCC, and the ATS of students at UASLP are different from students at UCC and UPA.
