Abstract
![CDATA[Mathematics has been the language of science. In many degree programs such as business and engineering, there is at least one or more Mathematics unit(s). Similarly, with the increased emphasis on data analysis, statistics finds its place in many degree programs too. Mathematics and statistics departments around the world are offering, usually, first year mathematics and/or statistics units to their students. It is common to hear from academics that students are not engaged in such service units. In this study, we investigated students’ learning approaches in statistics and mathematics units and identified the similarities and differences between two groups. The results of this study might shed light into curriculum development for such statistics and mathematics units and enable students to choose deeper learning approaches.]]
