The study employed the survey design; population consisted of all undergraduate students from the six departments in the faculty of education who have completed the compulsory course on research methodology. A total of 180 students, consisting of 30 students from each of the six participating department were selected for the study.

Finally, the study shows that of all the factors tested; only academic performance has significant relationship with attitude. Based on the findings, it was recommended that time and course units for research methodology should be increased to enable the students acquire adequate and requisite knowledge for carrying out research, every effort should be made to reduce or completely eliminate every form of stress, difficulty and anxiety associated with research.
