This paper describes training programs newly developed for the Video on Demand (VOD) and TV conference-based in-service teachtr training system. Prior to program development. we surveyed all 26 teachers of the target training school regarding their desire for training. Based on the result, we developed two training programs:"Use of concept maps in interdisciplinary and comprehensive lessons" and "Strategy for developing interdisciplinary and comnrchcnsive units." These programs are based on the educational oractice of Akashi Primary School, attached to the Faculty of Human Development at Kobe University. To evaluate the programs, three surveys were carried out. First, a questionnaire survey concerning the two programs for trainees and trainers (24 in total) showed that program contents and structure wore highly evaluated. Also, most respondents admitted that the effects of the newly developed program-based training were similar to those of conventional training. Second, a free-comment type questionnaire survey concerning the contents of "strategy for developing interdisciplinary and comprehensive units". was conducted for 22 trainees. This program was experimentally implemented with a TV conference. The survey yielded the following comments: "The program enabled me to understand Akashi Primary Schools strategy for developing interdisciplinary and comprehensive units" and "The program will help us to develop units." Third, for TV conference evaluation, 16 conference attendees were interviewed. Respondents highly evaluated the conference environment created by the VOD and TV conference system, since they could consult video and texts on web pages related to the program during the conference. This study demonstrates the potential for practical application of VOD and TV conference-based in-service teacher training programs.
