Este artículo examina los factores emocionales que influyen en la percepción de la estadística y los métodos de estudio de los estudiantes de Medicina Veterinaria de la Universidad Agraria del Ecuador durante el periodo 2025–2026. Se implementó un diseño descriptivo, transversal y observacional, utilizando el test CEVET-10 y un cuestionario tipo Likert para evaluar actitudes, emociones y percepciones hacia la estadística. El objetivo fue identificar elementos como la motivación, la ansiedad y la utilidad percibida que afectan el aprendizaje de materias cuantitativas, sugiriendo que un enfoque de estudio profundo se relaciona con una menor ansiedad y un mayor interés. Los datos fueron analizados mediante estadística descriptiva. Los resultados proporcionan evidencia para optimizar estrategias pedagógicas, reducir la ansiedad estadística, aumentar la motivación y fortalecer la alfabetización cuantitativa, subrayando la necesidad de validar instrumentos psicométricos confiables que midan actitudes, emociones y creencias sobre la estadística
