| Abstract | The indispensable relationship between Research and Statistics makes the teaching of both courses crucial in all postgraduate programmes. However, over the years, postgraduate students have displayed a high level of anxiety in studying Statistics. Therefore, exploiting the descriptive case study strategy knitted within the sequential explanatory design, a Statistics teacher was studied in one of Ghana's outstanding universities and the reported pedagogical behaviours were profiled. Primary data were obtained from 99 postgraduate students (reading various postgraduate programmes on regular, sandwich and distance modes of education) on their level of anxiety in Statistics (using the Statistics Anxiety Rating Scale) and their experiences with their teacher's pedagogical behaviours. Also, 12 of the postgraduate students were interviewed about the pedagogical behaviours of their teacher that reduced their anxiety in Statistics. To triangulate the primary data, secondary results on the teacher's teaching practices were obtained from the Directorate of Academic Planning and Quality Assurance Unit of the university (originally gathered through a statistical academic support scale). Descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (one-way ANOVA and SEM) statistics were used to analyse the quantitative data and the qualitative data were analysed into themes. Consequently, the study found 17 teacher pedagogical behaviours under teacher characteristics (cognitive and affective factors) and pedagogical practices that reduced postgraduate students' statistical anxiety and heightened positive attitudes towards the study of Statistics. Therefore, a recognition of these pedagogical behaviours and their open display during the teaching of Statistics will go a long way in reducing postgraduate students' high statistical anxiety.
