This article compares the learning environments of an inverted introductory statistics class with a traditional introductory statistics class at the same university. This mixed-methods research study used the College and University Classroom Environment Inventory, field notes, interviews and focus groups to investigate and compare the learning environments of these two classrooms. Findings show that the students in the inverted classroom were less satisfied with how the classroom structure oriented them to the learning tasks in the course, but they became more open to cooperative learning and innovative teaching methods. The author further discusses these findings in terms of how they contribute to the stability and connectedness of classroom learning communities.

In this article, the author explores how the traditional lecture/homework structure of the undergraduate statistic course was “flipped” so that the majority of basic knowledge acquisition moved out of the classroom, making room for interactive activities during class time. The described changes had a positive impact on students’ attitudes toward the class and instructor as well as on students’ performance in the class.
