Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate a four-part in-service training model (training, observation at a demonstration site, practice with observation, and evaluation) to see how it directly impacted the consequent adoption of practices in the classroom. This case study analyzed the perceptions of 21 participants at a middle school as they attempted to apply the learning styles instruction received from the training sessions. Through participant/observation, the researcher described changes in instruction. The researcher examined the correlation of data sources to see how these perceptions affected the degree of success with this in-service model on learning styles instruction.
