A telephone survey was administered to colleges and universities with an approved science teacher education program in the state of Ohio to determine the status and to estimate the use of interactive video technology (IVD) in preservice science education programs. The following characteristics were examined: (1) overall IVD usage; (2) classroom demographics; (3) faculty demographics; (4) various uses of IVD in the programs surveyed; (5) IVD particulars; (6) hardware, video disk, and software components; (7) outcome studies; (8) inservice workshops; and (9) information regarding institutions not using IVDs. The data indicated that there is an emerging nature of IVD use in science teacher education programs in Ohio. (ZWH)
