as the type of experiment performed, specimengeometry, and measurement method. We identified 29 unique approaches to the problem, with noone approach accounting for more than three submissions.Student outcomes were measured by a survey of students’ attitudes and self-efficacy administereddirectly after every lab activity except for the first one. The fraction of students endorsingstatements related to a sense of agency increased dramatically between the “traditional” labs andthe guided-inquiry lab: from 52% to 82% for goal-setting and from about 64% to 92% for choiceof methods. Self-efficacy increased significantly in the primary targeted skills (designingexperiments, making predictions, and generating further questions), but there was no

% drop in the mean scorefrom 2019 to 2020 (t-test, 𝑝 ≪ 0. 001). Figure 5: the distribution of scores in the multiple choice concept inventory tests 2 2 (𝑛19 = 131 , 𝑛20 = 99 , 𝑓 = (1\σ 2π) 𝑒𝑥𝑝(− (𝑥 − µ) \2σ ). Furthermore we measure students’ motivation and attitudes towards learning by adoptingportions of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) that was administeredtowards the end of each semester [10]. The survey included multiple items related to intrinsicand extrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, task value, and peer learning. Please see the appendix fora list of items in our survey. Figure 6

examinationsthat are not the same and where allowable resources are different (Ryan, 2016).Suppose the author was to comment on possible reasons for the high number of A grades in theonline group. In that case, one could "possibly" point to the general higher self-efficacy ofacademically bright students in an online environment. More of them (Giancola and Kahlenberg,2016) belong to the upper-income quartiles and can afford better resources and environment toflourish in the online environment.Individual grade components (tests, homework, projects) also show no statistically significant orpragmatic differences between the two groups except for the homework assignments. The onlineflipped class students scored 13% more than the F2F flipped classroom, which
