The impact of eTwinning on teachers' wellbeing : full monitoring report 2024

The findings of the report derive from a mixed-methods approach. A survey (quantitative data collection) was carried out, which aimed to capture respondents' current perceptions of their wellbeing and the impact eTwinning has had on their wellbeing. In addition, interviews (qualitative data collection) were conducted to gain more insights into how eTwinning impacts teachers' wellbeing. According to the findings in this report, teachers who are involved in eTwinning exhibit high levels of teaching efficacy, showing confidence in their competence and ability to meet the demands of their work. The collaborative and innovative nature of eTwinning activities positively impacts their teaching efficacy, which correlates with job satisfaction, teacher retention and overall wellbeing. Their sense of school connectedness remains slightly lower compared with teaching efficacy, suggesting a need for more collaborative opportunities in their schools. Although eTwinning empowers teachers in their teaching, it has less impact on school connectedness, suggesting the importance of fostering more collaborative practices at school level. Promoting and implementing eTwinning Schools' mission statements could play a pivotal role in this.
