Challenges Faced by Trainee Teachers in the Implementation of Multimedia Teaching Aids

Multimedia teaching aids have become a critical component in contemporary education particularly in supporting engaging and student centred learning aligned with 21st-century pedagogical demands. However, trainee teachers continue to encounter challenges that hinder the effective integration of multimedia tools during teaching practicum. This qualitative case study explores the key challenges experienced by Arabic language trainee teachers in Malaysian secondary schools. Purposive sampling was used to select ten participants who were interviewed using semi-structured protocols and the data were thematically analysed with ATLAS.ti. Findings reveal seven interrelated challenges: insufficient facilities, non-conducive classroom environments, varied student reception, internet limitations, technical issues, limited teaching time and lack of guidance. The study contributes nuanced insights into the practical realities of multimedia-based pedagogy from a trainee teacher’s perspective, highlighting implications for teacher preparation programmes, institutional support mechanisms and policy development to strengthen technology enhanced teaching.
