In Jordan, in-service science teacher training programs were facing problems in achieving professional teacher development. The authors conducted a questionnaire survey of evaluating an in-service science teacher training planned and implemented by them. The method of structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to find out the effects of teaching practices gained by the in-service teacher training upon student attitudes toward the science lesson they took right before. The results revealed that the in-service science teacher training had a clear effect on the students who had experienced the lessons which the teahers as the trainees had given. Based on this case study, the introduction of the lessons including student-centered, active, exploratory, inquiry-based learning with multimedia was found to be viable for Jordan.
