“…Although the importance of eTwinning for ITE has been recognized (Huertas-Abril & Muszyńska, 2022), the implementation of eTwinning in higher education is still limited, resulting in a lack of research studies on the impact of eTwinning in ITE environments. Valuable findings have been made on interpersonal skills and international collaboration (Gülbay, 2018), student teachers' perceptions of eTwinning (Paz-Albo & Hervás, 2017), impact on different teaching competencies (Paz-Albo & López, 2017), and the importance of ICT and eTwinning for future mathematics teachers (Dobi Barišić & Moslavac Bičvić, 2022).…”

The use of eTwinning in initial teacher education (ITE) is intended to provide student teachers with opportunities that benefit them on a professional and personal level. These benefits for teachers and their students are confirmed by several studies in the European context. This chapter provides insights into student teachers’ opinions on the benefits reported by teachers involved in eTwinning projects. The study was conducted with student teachers from Italy, Spain and Croatia who participated in the international eTwinning project ITE: Educ@ting for sustainability, from universities to classes in the academic year 2002/2023. The results of the study confirm that student teachers have a positive opinion of eTwinning and are aware of both the personal and professional benefits of participating in an eTwinning project.

Collaborative online international learning (COIL) has grown as an innovative technology-enhanced education approach with great potential for language education. Among the different COIL initiatives, eTwinning offers opportunities for language teachers and learners. Considering the limited research about pre-service language teachers’ digital literacy who have participated in the eTwinning for future teachers initiative, this paper’s objective is to explore how eTwinning can enhance teachers’ digital skills involving pre-service language teachers (N=76) from two European universities, University of Cordoba, UCO (Spain) and University of Lower Silesia, ULS (Poland). The study follows a quantitative approach, using an exploratory cross-sectional method and an interpretative approach. The results show a general positive perception of participants from both contexts, while there are statistically significant differences regarding gender and university. Finally, the paper reflects on how to use eTwinning to improve teachers’ digital literacy.

La Universidad Pública de Navarra (UPNA) y la Universidad San Pablo CEU de Madrid (USPCEU) realizan un proyecto conjunto en eTwinning centrado en la competencia digital e innovación educativa. Tanto los estudiantes de los Grados de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales de la UPNA como los de Educación de San Pablo CEU presentan unos recursos digitales para colegios que imparten infantil mostrando al profesorado posibles cuentos que hacen referencia a hitos concretos. El objetivo es evaluar el impacto de eTwinning en competencia digital e innovación educativa a través del trabajo en equipo fomentando competencias propias del docente. El proyecto se elaboran actividades didácticas concretas que se alojarán en un eXelearning, creado por los alumnos. Los resultados del proyecto muestran la creación de recursos educativos innovadores en torno a la creación de unos cuentos infantiles de diferentes hitos históricos a través de la mejora de las habilidades digitales en los universitarios.
