Abstract

This study explores the integration of multimedia tools in classrooms across Kosovo, highlighting the challenges teachers face and the impact of digital resources on student learning. Employing a mixed-methods design, it combines quantitative data from a Likert-scale questionnaire completed by 100 teachers and semi-structured interviews of 20 teachers with qualitative insights. Findings reveal significant barriers, including outdated infrastructure, limited access to advanced technologies, poor internet connectivity, and lack of technical support, particularly in rural schools. Professional development is often insufficient and overly theoretical, hindering effective multimedia integration. Despite these obstacles, teachers recognize the positive impact of multimedia such as videos, simulations, and interactive content—on student engagement, understanding, and retention. Informal peer support and self-directed learning partially mitigate these challenges. The study emphasizes the need for targeted investments in infrastructure, enhanced technical support, and practical, ongoing teacher training. Addressing these gaps will foster a more inclusive and effective digital learning environment that aligns with 21st-century educational practices in Kosovo
