Abstract
The current study sought to identify the perception of teachers (with diploma as their highest level of education)
on the teaching and learning of the Educational Research course during the Fall 2017 semester in one of the
private universities in Ghana. With a survey research design, three hundred and thirteen teachers, who were
enrolled in the Fall 2017 Sandwich programme, were randomly sampled to participate in the study. The findings
revealed significant differences between male and female teachers in terms of how they perceived the teaching
of research, relevance of research and their statistics anxiety. Also, the age independent variable indicated a
significant difference on the statistics anxiety construct only whereas the other two constructs were not
significant. There were significant correlations among age, years of teaching, and statistics anxiety. The
implication of the study for practice is discussed.
