Acta Didactica Napocensia, v7 n1 p31-37 2014
The integrated curriculum has been and still remains one of the major directions of interest in contemporary education. The present study aims at analyzing the opinion of a sample of 108 teachers, which are part of an eTwinning community regarding: a) their availability to participate in eTwinning projects; b) the ways of capitalizing the results of their participation in eTwinning projects; c) the value given to integrated approaches of curriculum content; d) the changes in teaching activities after their participation in eTwinning projects, including difficulties in the implementation of project results. An online questionnaire was the instrument of investigation. The main results of teacher participation in eTwinning projects, as they were mentioned by subjects, could be found in their teaching: the use of ICT in teaching and learning, the foundation of learning process on socio-constructivism, the multiplication of interdisciplinary connections, the enhancing of the student centered learning, the acquisition of key skills, the introduce of new methods and strategies.
