Her research interests center on educational evaluation, particularly school self-evaluation and external evaluation, school management, curriculum development, and social justice in education. She explores how evaluation processes influence decision-making, quality assurance, and democratic practices in schools. Her work integrates policy analysis with empirical research in Portuguese and international contexts.
Her recent publications (2023–2025) reveal a strong focus on school self-evaluation procedures, digital platforms in educational management, teacher assessment practices, and democratic education.
