Abstract

At universities, Statistics courses usually have the reputation of being an “intimidating†in students and professors, which bothers both professors and students that one doesn’t want to teach and the other doesn’t want to study. The purpose of the paper is to seek a set of teaching modes which can enhance students' autonomous learning ability, stimulate their interest in learning and improve academic performance. This paper adopts empirical research method, as well as pre-class design, in-class discussion, counseling, after-class evaluation and other methods, to introduce the concept of flipped classroom into statistics course teaching. The results show that the new teaching mode not only enables students to grasp the basic knowledge of statistics, but also enhances the students' autonomous learning ability and stimulates their interest in the subject. In the same time, it has also been recognized and liked by students.
