Carla Galego

Carla Galego is a Researcher at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Education and Administration (FCSEA) and the Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Education and Development (CeiED). Her work spans curriculum design, language pedagogy, and research methodologies in education. She actively leads projects investigating climate change education, Portuguese language skill development across Lusophone countries, and innovative frameworks for teaching research methods.

Research Focus: Galego's interdisciplinary work bridges educational theory and practice, with emphasis on:

• Developing critical thinking through language teaching
• Designing STEM education curricula responsive to climate change
• Creating scalable models for research-methods training in academia
• Analyzing international education policies (e.g., ERASMUS+ impact on SDGs)

Publications: Her recent scholarly output (2021-2024) demonstrates strong thematic coherence around three pillars: 1) methodological innovation in education research, 2) critical thinking skill development frameworks, and 3) comparative analysis of language education policies. This corpus reflects sustained focus on creating transferable pedagogical tools for diverse cultural contexts.

Projects & Collaborations: Notable initiatives include:

• Climate Change and STEM Education in Classrooms (2022-2024): Developing climate-literacy curricula
• Teaching Portuguese Language and Skills in Lusophone Countries (2022-2023): Cross-national skill development analysis
• ReMASE Framework (2022-2023): Research Methods in Advanced Studies in Education
• PISA_PT Study (2018-2022): Critical analysis of Portugal's OECD PISA engagement
