Daniela Pinto

Daniela Pinto serves as a Research Fellow at the Centre for Research and Intervention in Educational and School Psychology (CIIE) within the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences, University of Porto. Her work bridges theoretical research and practical educational interventions across Portuguese and European contexts.

Her academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Education Sciences (2021, University of Porto)
• Master's in Education Sciences (2010, University of Porto)
• Degree in Education Sciences (2008, University of Porto)

Dr. Pinto's research focuses on critical educational interfaces, particularly:

• School Transitions: Analyzing secondary-to-higher education pathways through comparative European frameworks
• Evaluation Systems: Developing self-evaluation geometries for primary/secondary institutions
• Peer Observation: Creating multidisciplinary protocols that connect different educational levels
• Educational Improvement: Implementing evidence-based interventions for school quality enhancement

Her publication trajectory (2010-2024) reveals increasing European collaboration, with recent work emphasizing self-regulated learning through peer observation and context-specific evaluation frameworks. The 2024 publications demonstrate methodological sophistication in analyzing variable evaluation geometries across school types.

No scientific awards or major fellowships are documented in available sources.

While specific grant details aren't provided, her involvement in the 'Porto de conhecimento' program evaluation (2017) and multiple international collaborations indicate participation in funded research initiatives. No doctoral students are listed in current publications.

Dr. Pinto actively contributes to the Community of Practice in Inquiry (CoPIn) and IDEAFor research group (Identity, Democracy, School, Administration and Training), operating within CIIE's ecosystem which connects academic research with national educational policy development.
