Abstract

This study uses a generic qualitative inquiry to explore the experiences of Alawihao National High School mathematics teachers in integrating multimedia tools into instruction. It aims to (1) examine the challenges faced and (2) describe the teaching strategies adopted. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with five purposively selected junior high school math teachers. Thematic analysis revealed four main challenges: technical issues, teacher preparedness, teaching strategies, and limited resources. Teachers encountered internet problems, device failures, and software issues, affecting lesson flow and engagement. Limited training also hindered their readiness. Strategies to address access and resource limitations required instructional adjustments. For the second objective, teachers adopted three strategies: promoting student-centered learning, using visual and collaborative tools, and enhancing classroom management through structured timing. The study concludes that while multimedia can enrich instruction, challenges remain. It recommends infrastructure upgrades, professional development, and training to help teachers effectively integrate multimedia and improve student outcomes.
