Abstract :The main aim of this study is to compare the digital literacy levels of teachers in Turkey and of those in other member countries within the European Union eTwinning network. The present study has been conducted with a mixed methods research design, in which quantitative and qualitative methods are used together. The quantitative data of the research have been collected online from a total of 181 teachers, 106 from Turkey and 75 from the member countries of the eTwinning network by using the Digital Literacy Scale, while the qualitative data have been obtained from a total of 111 teachers. The quantitative data have been analyzed by using descriptive statistics and independent sample t test, whereas the qualitative data have been analyzed in line with the descriptive analysis approach by using the MaxQDA 2020 program. As a result of the research, the digital literacy levels of the teachers working in Turkey and those in the member countries of the European Union eTwinning network have been found to be at high levels, with no statistically significant difference between the gender variable and digital literacy.
