| Abstract: | Distance education is a significant topic of discussion among faculty at all levels of education. This study produced evidence
regarding the attitudes toward three distance education delivery modes for science professional development. The study involved
94 elementary school teachers who were participating in a professional development project. The three distance education strategies
studied were live, interactive television (Live); videotape presentations with live wrap-around discussions (Video); and asynchronous,
Web-based sessions with streamed video presentations supported by interaction through discussion boards (Web). A repeated
measures design was used to analyze the attitudes of the study participants. Data on the participants’ attitudes toward their
distance education involvement were collected through the CTLSilhouette™ instrument.
