SELFIE for TEACHERS Trains 6,100+ Greek eTwinning Teachers in Digital Competence
Summary
The eTwinning office in Greece ran a nationwide action in 2023 to train teachers in the pedagogical use of digital technologies, including educational robotics, mobile devices, AI, and 3D printing. Fifteen online courses were delivered with over 6,100 participants and 164 trainers, using the SELFIE for TEACHERS self-assessment tool to identify digital competence gaps before training and measure progress afterwards. Findings showed that participants perceived their digital skills to have advanced by at least 15% by the conclusion of the courses.

What changed
The SELFIE for TEACHERS self-assessment tool was deployed at scale across Greece's eTwinning teacher network in 2023, supporting 15 online courses on educational robotics, mobile devices, AI, and 3D printing. Participants used the tool both as a pre-training diagnostic and a post-training evaluation, with aggregate data showing a self-reported 15% improvement in digital competence scores.
For educators and institutions considering digital skills programmes, this implementation demonstrates that structured use of validated self-assessment instruments like SELFIE can provide targeted baseline data and measurable outcomes. The 15% improvement figure offers a benchmark for programme evaluation, though it is based on participant self-perception rather than independent assessment.

In 2023, a large-scale use of the SELFIE for TEACHERS tool took place amongst eTwinning teachers in Greece.
eTwinning is a community of schools around Europe and beyond. Members work on shared projects and offer training and guidance for teachers to use information and communication technologies in a meaningful way in their classrooms.
The eTwinning office in Greece ran an action to train eTwinners in the pedagogical use of digital technologies and tools. Subjects included educational robotics, mobile devices, AI and 3D printing.
The courses were based in part on a list of competencies presented in the SELFIE for TEACHERS tool.
Tracing personal development advances
15 online courses were hosted, with over 6,100 participants and 164 trainers. These participants used SELFIE for TEACHERS to identify their strengths and gaps in their digital competence in order to prepare for the training, as well as assess their progress afterwards.
Findings from this nationwide implementation showed that SELFIE for TEACHERS proves again to be a highly relevant and useful support tool to build teachers’ digital competences.
When using the self-assessment tool, participants on these courses perceived their digital skills to have advanced at least 15% by the conclusion.
SELFIE for TEACHERS data also supported the eTwinning officers to identify and select the most suitable teacher trainers for the courses, making the set up more targeted and efficient.
