Exploring Academics’ Views Regarding Erasmus Teaching Mobility

Erasmus mobility for teachers has a long history, and although there are studies (Kafarski & Kazak, 2022; Vlad, 2021; Zajadacz et al., 2021) that provide data and information on its impact on the educational community, it is important to follow up on the topic. In general, teaching abroad presents a myriad of advantages for university teachers across the globe, encompassing both personal and professional growth (Enders, 1998; Enders & Teichler, 2005; Kreitz, & Teichler, 1997). This article aims to thoroughly assess the influence of Erasmus mobility on teachers, drawing from the experiences of university teachers at various points in their academic careers. This was accomplished through semi-structured interviews, which delved into the effects on personal and professional development, including adjustments to different educational systems, teaching methods, and curriculum. Additionally, the study examined how this experience altered their teaching philosophies and broadened their global perspectives on education.
