To determine approaches in the design of classroom instruction, and how these differences compared to those observed under simulated teaching conditions, 12 fifth and sixth grade field-dependent ( n = 6) and field-independent ( n = 6) teachers were observed for 96 hr. in regular elementary classrooms. Over-all, the results supported several instructional principles associated with differences in teachers' cognitive style obtained under simulated teaching conditions. Statistically significant differences were obtained for 8 out of 10 instructional behaviors observed between field-dependent and field-independent teachers. The findings support certain aspects of Witkin's perceptual differentiation theory as they relate to how teachers teach.

<span>This paper focuses on one of the major components of educational technology - instructional design. The paper deals with an examination of aspects of technology and learning which may have implications for future directions and developments in educational technology. It describes a study which examined the relationship between training technologies (computer and print) and individual learner differences (visual and haptic cognitive styles), in assisting learners' retention of information presented visually.</span>
