Introduction
In this study, the researchers focus on the different perceptions and attitudes of
the senior high school students towards research paper. Research activity is considered
one of the important educational practices in that the vital skills and attitude for lifelong
learners can be cultivated through inquiry. Conducting a research is not merely pursuit
of learning process. Development of research skills is also important when having this
activity.
means the systematic investigation into studies to in order to establish facts, new
information for verifying some theories. It means a search for an answer to the
questions asks. Research is finding out new things and asking a question on it. It allows
you to pursue your interest, to learn something new and it challenge you in new ways.
Research allows you to come up with a result that represents the combination of your
different preferred approaches to learning across different cultures. For instance, Asian

behavior.
Cultivate. It is the way of improving that needed a special effort to develop it.
Investigate. The act of getting information from a group of people by asking them
questions.

instructors facilitate the learning of research for their students, by enabling them to
create more positive attitudes toward such courses. The aim of this study is to describe
the development of an “attitudes toward research” scale and verify the different aspects
research courses. The basic hypothesis of this research study is that the concept of
students who had completed a research method course. Based on an analysis, five
factors of student attitudes toward research were identified. These were the factors of
usefulness of research, anxiety affect indicating positive feelings about research, life
related courses with negative attitudes and feelings. These negative attitudes have
research, statistics and mathematics. One of the main problems of these negative
attitudes is that they have been found to serve as obstacles to learning. In turn, these
negative attitudes have been found to be associated with poor performance in such
courses, however, suggest that attitudes are actually mediators between past
performance and future achievement. Prior research studies have found that negative
7
attitudes toward a course (e.g., mathematics) have been found to explain a significant
portion of the variance in student learning. In turn, these attitudes influence the amount
of effort one is willing to expend on a learning subject, which also influences the
selection of more advanced courses in similar areas (e.g., research and statistics
attitudes toward are search methods course is important in order to enable instructors to
develop instructional techniques leading to more positive attitudes toward the subject .In
a study, Roberts and Bilderback found that most students who take statistics are quite
anxious. Once this dominance of negative attitudes was revealed, many more survey
developed. One such instrument is the Survey of ‘Attitudes Towards Statistics’ (Schau),
Another instrument created for the same purpose was that of Attitudes toward
Statistics, which was designed to measure two separate domains, student attitudes
toward the course they were enrolled in, and student attitudes toward the usefulness of
statistics in their field of study. The Statistical Anxiety Rating Scale was designed to
measure the value of statistics, the interpretation of statistical information, test anxiety,
cognitive skills in statistics, fear of approaching the instructor and fear of statistics.
Other similar instruments included the Statistics Attitude Survey, and the Statistics
toward statistics already exist, they all differ in content and configuration. For example,
although some instruments represent attitudes as a construct with six factors, others

exist within attitudes. The identification of the factors that form the structure of the
student attitudes toward a research methods course may bear important theoretical and
practical implications, especially due to the fact that this has never been examined
instructors may include themselves in the process of learning research from a different

one must be motivated to change an attitude. Hence, Baker puts forward the view that

the5 main characteristics of attitudes are that they are cognitive and affective and
unfavorability. He also claims that attitudes predispose a person to act in a certain way,
but the relationship between attitudes and actions is not a strong one. Baker concludes
that attitudes are learnt, not inherited or genetically endowed and although they tend to
persist, they can be modified by experience. Again, his perspective reinforces the
In this regard, while Brown (2007) has determined that attitude is a set of beliefs
which the learner has, Stern (2009) outlines three types of attitudes which learners
possess and among them is their attitude towards language and about language
learning in general. Furthermore, according to Ellis, learners with positive attitudes who
experience success will have these attitudes reinforced. He also believes that learners’
negative attitudes may be strengthened by lack of success. For these reasons, this
research seeks to examine students’ attitudes towards research and the specific
based on instruction within the formal context of the classroom. Similar work has been
conducted by Shu-Ching Wang and Yuh-Jen Guo (2011) as they sought to investigate
students’ attitude towards research methods classes and research. They concluded that
students can encounter major obstacles while studying in research methods classes
and applying learned knowledge. Moreover, Wang and Guo observed that students
experienced immediate and long term effects from any adverse influences they meet in
research principles for their students by enabling them to create more positive attitudes
It must be noted that the application of best practice principles requires less
activities which require learners to merely sit and listen to receive and assimilate
information. Moreover, with a focus on best practice principles, the use of power-point
presentations and other forms of teaching in which information is transmitted one way
from teacher to student are deemed inadequate and ineffective; such activities stipulate
best practices within the teaching/learning environment, the focus is on experiential and
active learning in which learners are interacting, discussing and collaborating as well as
critically analyzing and evaluating. In such a situational context, which is conducive for
learning, the teacher performs several different roles and there is more emphasis on
higher order thinking. For these reasons, the theoretical framework of this research is
based on the work of Zemelman, Daniels and Hyde (2005) with their focus on principles

Summary
This study was conducted to gather different perceptions and attitudes of Senior
High School students and to know the importance of research in student’s daily life,
personal growth and psychological aspects. The stratified sampling procedure was used
for selecting the participants in this study and a self-administered questionnaire served
as the instrument for collecting data. Most of the respondents agreed that conducting a
research is useful on their daily life, helps them grow personally and professionally, and
research study makes students feel different emotions. The inquiry was done during the
