RESEARCH ON THE POTENTIAL FOR IMPLEMENTING MULTIMEDIA PODCASTS IN THE TRAINING OF PRE-SERVICE BIOLOGY TEACHERS

Abstract

This study examines the potential of integrating multimedia educational podcasts into the university training of pre-service biology teachers. It analyzes European and national frameworks for digital education alongside current trends in podcast-based learning technologies. The results of a survey conducted among students in teacher education programs at the Faculty of Biology, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski,” are presented. Survey results indicate limited practical experience with podcasts, yet demonstrate strong positive attitudes toward their use in professional training
