Learning Might Not Equal Liking: Research Methods Course Changes Knowledge but Not Attitudes (2009, background): “Unfortunately, undergraduates who take these kinds of classes often do not hold favorable views of the course content (e.g., Estes, Chandler, Horvath, & Backus, 2003; Murtonen, 2005; Rajecki, Appleby, Williams, Johnson, & Jeschke, 2005; Vittengl et al., 2004).”
“Do I need research skills in working life?”: University students’ motivation and difficulties in quantitative methods courses (2008, background): “Difficulties experienced by students are not decreasing, but rather increasing during courses ( Murtonen 2005 ).”
Anxiety in undergraduate research methods courses: its nature and implications (2008, background): “Similarly, it may be assumed that students’ anxiety about research methods can have an impact on their learning, for example, on whether they have difficulties in learning or whether they are motivated to learn and use those methods (Murtonen 2005).”
