This study aims to see the condition of statistical anxiety in terms of the gender of PTKIN students. Considering that State Islamic Religious Higher Education (PTKIN) students generally do not have a strong mathematical background, it is deemed necessary to examine how the statistical anxiety of students who do not have a strong mathematical knowledge is considered. Objective. Statistical anxiety is related to students' view of statistical learning, which is regarded as difficult for those who do not havestrong mathematical background knowledgee. Method. This study is a quantitative study with a comparative design that compares the statistical anxiety of PTKIN students based on a gender perspective. The sample number in this study was 479 respondents from PTKIN from 3 regions of Indonesia, namely the western, central, and eastern parts. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling from three Indonesia regions. Measurement of statistical anxiety using the Statistical Anxiety Scale (SAS) instrument developed by Pretorius & Norman is divided into three aspects with 17 statements. Result. The results showed differences in statistical anxiety based on the gender perspective of PTKIN students. Conclusion. The difference is due to differences in views between men and women responding to something. Women tend to have a more specific idea of things than men. This causes women tto end to be more anxious than men. Moreover, in general, PTKIN students do not have a strong background of exact knowledge.
