Design/Method: A class was taught during the first half of the semester with lectures. During the second half, the intervention of cooperative learning for small groups of students was used. Results: Scores achieved in homework, quizzes, and examination scores were the dependent variables. It was observed that a substantial number of students performed better using the cooperative method and mean scores for homework, quizzes and examinations significantly improved. Conclusions: It appears that the cooperative learning method of teaching may be a way to augment student‘s learning in introductory statistics.
