| Abstract: This qualitative study examines the integration of multimedia technologies in Colleges of Basic Education, in Kuwait focusing on perspectives of the professors in pre-service teacher training. As Kuwait advances its Vision 2035 educational modernization agenda, the use of digital simulations, video-based content, and interactive platforms has gained prominence. Through an analysis of documented educator experiences, policy reviews, and relevant literature, the study identifies key themes such as pedagogical advantages, adoption challenges, faculty perceptions, institutional support, and curricular alignment. Findings highlight both enthusiasm for instructional potential of multimedia and significant obstacles related to infrastructure, training, and cultural adaptation. The study underscores the importance of strategic faculty development, locally adapted digital content, and institutional policy alignment to facilitate effective and equitable multimedia integration in teacher education. These insights serve to guide policymakers, administrators, and educators in fostering digitally competent and pedagogically innovative learning environments within Kuwait’s higher education system. | ||
