Sažetak
ETwinning is a segment of the Erasmus program which seeks to utilize new technologies in order to network schools and kindergartens. Next to its emphasis on the importance of digital competencies, eTwinning also underlines the importance of collaborative and project-based work, as well as lifelong learning in a safe environment for all participants in the online environment. eTwinning launched a pilot program Teacher Training Institutions (TTIs) in 2012 aimed to include teacher education institutions in its platform. Since 2018, the TTIs initiative has been officially available to all countries participating in the eTwinning program. Faculty of Education in Osijek has been participating in the TTIs initiative since 2014 and has carried out nine projects so far. Given that the Croatian National Curriculum Framework emphasizes the importance of moving away from traditional educational models and places emphasis on the development of critical thinking skills, creativity, innovation, communication skills, collaboration, informational and digital literacy, eTwinning offers the possibilities of new modes of work aimed to develop these competencies within its platform. This paper will present the results of a survey conducted among students of the Faculty of Education in Osijek related to their familiarity with eTwinning, opinions on advantages and disadvantages of implementing eTwinning in regular education, as well as their attitudes on the possibility of applying eTwinning in school subjects Mathematics and Computer Science.
