This research paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the problems faced by chemistry students at the college level, with a particular focus on attitudinal components. The study examines the cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of the challenges encountered by these students, providing insights into the intensity and prevalence of the issues. The research employed a quantitative approach, utilizing a survey instrument to collect data from a sample of 250 college-level chemistry students. The participants were selected through a stratified random sampling technique to ensure representativeness across different academic institutions. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency distributions, percentages, and cross-tabulations, to identify the intensity levels of the problems faced by students. The findings revealed that a significant proportion of students (ranging from 42% to 48%) experienced high-intensity problems across the cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the depth of chemistry education at the tertiary level and offer valuable implications for developing targeted interventions and improving student learning outcomes.
