Abstract

eTwinning, which was initiated as the main movement of the European Commission's e-learning program and later supported within the scope of the Erasmus+ program, is carried out in our country by the General Directorate of Innovation and Educational Technologies of the Ministry of National Education.eTwinning, an activity where teachers and students in 46 countries come together in an online environment to create projects and develop their personal and professional development, encourages the use of information technologies and the use of innovative teaching methods and techniques.In this study, it was investigated whether there was a significant difference between the attitudes of teachers who are new to eTwinning and teachers who receive the eTwinning National Quality Label in terms of using technology in education.The study was conducted using the causal comparison model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, and a demographic information form and an attitude scale regarding the use of technology in education were used. The Mann Whitney U test was used to examine whether there was a significant difference between the attitudes and sub-dimensions of teachers who received and did not receive the eTwinning quality label towards the use of technology in education. As a result of the analysis of the data, it was found that; It was observed that there was a significant difference in the attitudes towards the use of technology in education in the whole scale and in the sub-dimension of self-development in the use of technology in education, which is one of the three sub-dimensions. It is seen that eTwinning projects contribute positively to teachers' attitudes towards using technology in education, and those who receive the National Quality Label have a higher attitude level than those who are new to eTwinning.
