Latine Students’ Motivational and Emotional Experiences Related to Their Introductory Statistics Course: Differences by Institution Type Necessitate Tailored Interventions

Abstract

The study compared concerns, anxiety, mindsets, and belonging in introductory statistics among Latine students across three higher education institutions. Students at the Predominantly White Institution voiced more concerns about R-coding and lack of prior knowledge. Students at the Hispanic-Serving Institutions voiced more concerns about math anxiety and social comparison and had more fixed mindsets, yet higher levels of belonging—pointing toward the value of exploring Latine students’ experiences across different contexts and providing tailored interventions.
