Abstract

eTwinning is the most used educational network platform for digital cooperation projects implemented by means of the collaboration of two or more educational centres. The present document aims to check in which way eTwinning projects assist teachers’ needs. For that, a systematic literature review was undertaken. Selected studies met the following criteria: 1) based on eTwinning practice, 2) originated from surveyed-based research and 3) dating back to the last decade. The data were extracted throughout qualitative research over the consulted documents. This information is, then, reflected on a table expressed from the most general data represented by impacts to the most specific items. Some subcategories as they are cooperation or recognition and rewards, among others, have also been added according to the necessities and specifications of the results extracted for a better comprehension of such needs. According to the data obtained, eTwinning projects make a great and positive impact, by providing solutions to teachers’ needs. Best results correspond to the items of cooperation, and digital competence.
