The innovation managers are very open-minded to the changes that occur in schools, but unfortunately there are many of them who are closed to such changes in schools, the reason to resist is the lack of knowledge towards these educational innovations and of the changes that could be made in the schools and in the classrooms. Avoiding such problems could be made through active participation of the teachers in trainings, because the development of the technology and the improvement of the educational technology influences many changes in teaching methods and forms. Based on previous research it was seen that the role of multimedia in the classroom influences a great interest in participating actively in learning. This research was chosen intentionally with the reason of playing a positive role in raising the awareness of the community, with the argumentation of the hypothesis that multimedia in the learning process has a great role in purifying students with new information. Education, as a rule, slowly accepts any implementation of innovations in comparison with business, producing, transportation etcetera. In addition to it, implementing multimedia systems, distance learning, virtual schools etcetera would definitely increase the activity of the students in advancing their skills in comparison with their former background knowledge.Item Schools and Implementation of Innovations as Active Element in Practice(AAB College, 2025-07-16) Agaj, FatmirThis paper interlocks methods and forms of contemporary work in organizing learning from teachers with innovations in teaching behaviours that stimulate learner sense of active participation in learning, developing critical thinking, analysis and action for quality and effective learning. Innovations in the learning process, have a very important role in enriching the learning experiences, therefore, these activities help students to motivate, increase knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, and awakens interest for discussion. The purpose of this paper was to give an overview of the existing implementation of innovations in our educational institutions by teachers and to assess how teachers are aware of the role and importance of innovation in the learning process. Survey research questions were: Are the innovations applied in educational institutions by teachers, and how their application affects the creative activist and personality development of students? We used some of the basic methods through which we have researched this problem quite significantly in primary education institutions of Kamenica and the technique that is applied was that of the survey through a questionnaire for teachers. The research sample consisted of 100 teachers of urban and rural schools, such as two middle schools from urban of the Kamenica town, three from the rural municipality of Kamenica, Kosovo. From the survey results, we have concluded that the primary schools in the municipality of Kamenica little work in this direction despite the fact that a number of teachers have been trained, but they are all making efforts to implement innovations in the learning process. Teachers were of the opinion that to implement innovations in teaching technical, material conditions are needed and that teachers are aware of their importance and the positive effects they bring to the student. Recommendations from this study will probably raise the awareness of all participants of the school life and to contribute to comprehensive discussion that is being developed for education reform in our country, in taking initiatives for systematic implementation of innovations in teaching where beneficiaries will be the students, education in general and societyItem Organization of the Learning Process and Motivation of the Students by their Teachers’ in Educational Institutes(AAB College, 2025-07-16) Agaj, FatmirMotivation of the students by teachers during the learning process is an important aspect of mutual interest to students and teachers. The teacher as a relevant factor in the learning process, with his presentation and dedication, makes students become motivated for cooperation and involvement throughout the learning process, making clear, stimulate and encourage them in terms of analysis and critical thinking and profit sense of confidence. The research aimed to study and to reflect the attitudes of students and some of their opinions toward the organization of the learning process and toward the ability of teachers of motivating them to be active and interested throughout the learning process, and to compare estimates of the attitudes of high school students in two different municipalities.Research question of the study was: How do students estimate the organization of the learning process and teachers’ engagement towards raising their motivation to participate actively in the learning process? Do we have differences in students' attitudes? Among the techniques that were applied in this study was the survey, which was conducted through a questionnaire for students. Analysis of the data from this survey indicates a low level of awareness of the teachers’ for their motivational and supportive role they can have during the learning process. The data obtained from this study will probably lead us to increase the awareness of teachers to make efforts to encourage students to independent work skills, develop critical thinking and sense of self-confidence by creating cooperation, respect, and stimulation , and as the primary to estimate truly based on understanding of the ability of students to analysis that leads to their motivation to participate for the entire teaching process in the future for a better quality of effective learning.Item List information between school and family(AAB College, 2025-07-16) Agaj, FatmirMain objective of this study is to present a business strategy where the activities and behaviors of students are monitored by teachers. This particular strategy includes a written list which consists of keeping records on student’s achievements throughout the week and it is supposed to be forwarded to parents early in the week to present the daily activities of their children at school. This research was conducted based on the interest of parents in the performance and school life of their children. Therefore, it is considered that this list information is the most convenient way of having a genuine cooperation among teachers and parents. Based on the analysis of the data derived from this research, it is concluded that parents are quite satisfied with the implementation of such working strategy, because they are constantly informed about the work or lack of work of their children at school, and that through this type of cooperation it is leaded to a closer access on the results achieved for weekly performances of their childrenItem Implementation of the New Curriculum by Pre-University Teachers in Schools in the Anamorava Region of Kosovo(AAB College, 2025-07-16) Agaj, FatmirThe study aims to understand how much the New Teaching Curriculum is implemented by pre-university teachers in schools in the Anamorava Region of Kosovo, as it is suspected that teachers in this area do not implement the New Curriculum sufficiently.

This encouragement is expected to provide opportunities and support for all teachers by creating trust among parties who share similar concerns. This study can also contribute to New Curriculum planners and contribute to teachers who have remained reluctant to implement it. The research focuses on the review and analysis of the implementation of the New Curriculum by teachers in this area and beyond. Through this research, real results have been achieved, revealing the truth that not all teachers implement the New Curriculum.

This study covers 5 municipalities of the Republic of Kosovo (Prishtina, Gjakova, Ferizaj, Gjilan, Kamenica). Data were collected through electronic questionnaires with 128 parents and 128 educators who have children with special needs. The questions were oriented around the impact of educational innovations in facilitating the learning of children with special needs. Based on the results of the present study, it is concluded that the impact of teaching innovations has shown a trend towards a positive future in facilitating learning for children with special needs. However, gradual improvements should be made to create a suitable and inclusive environment by providing innovative approaches according to the needs of children with special needs. In this study, it was understood from the respondents that educational innovations affect the facilitation of learning for children with special needs, which has also been statistically proven. According to statistics, we finally realized that parents are more principled, compared to educators. Parents are constantly looking for innovative changes, while educators are reluctant to do so, arguing that they do not have enough support from educational institutions. In quantitative terms, the phenomenon of educational innovations in facilitating the learning of children with special needs, especially in terms of the implementation of educational innovations, in terms of parents' perception, needs improvement, especially in the adaptation of educational innovations to children and completing preschool institutions with professional educators and assistants.Item Challenges faced by parents in managing distance learning for preschool children in the Republic of Kosovo(AAB College, 2025-07-16) Agaj, Fatmir; Bunjaku, MuharremThe closure of educational institutions due to preventive measures against the spread of COVID-19 has hurt the management of pre-primary school children by parents. This research has identified the challenges that have hurt the parents of preschool children, so that in the future this research will serve as an aid in managing distance learning, both for parents and preschool children aged 5-6. Data for this research were collected through electronic questionnaires conducted with 240 parents from 12 municipalities of the Republic of Kosovo, dividing them by gender (female and male). The study was conducted at the end of 2021 when the children had started returning to school. The results have convincingly shown that parents of preschool children have not been satisfied with distance learning. The research however reveals that female parents accept the new way of organizing distance learning more easily than male parents. In this case, the support of educators has helped parents alleviate their stress while organizing distance learning. The study has evidenced that in cases where there is good cooperation between parents and educators, good results can also be expected
