Dovilė Stumbrienė

Dovilė Stumbrienė serves as an Associate Professor and Researcher at Vilnius University's Institute of Data Science and Digital Technologies, specifically within the Educational Systems Group. Her office is located at Akademijos St. 4, room 607, Vilnius, with contact number +370 5 210 9344. She defended her doctoral dissertation on July 3, 2019, titled 'Data Envelopment Method in the Analysis of the Efficiency of Education Systems,' establishing her expertise in quantitative education assessment methodologies.

Dr. Stumbrienė's research focuses on comparative analysis of education systems, particularly examining efficiency, effectiveness, equity, and inclusion across European countries. Her work frequently employs data envelopment analysis and other quantitative methods to evaluate educational performance, with special attention to differences between post-socialist and traditional EU member states. She investigates how educational policies impact outcomes across diverse demographic groups and how systems can be improved toward strategic goals like those in the European Education Area framework.

Her publication record reveals a strong trajectory of scholarly contributions, with 15 significant publications from 2021-2024 alone. These works predominantly analyze EU education systems through lenses of equity, efficiency, and policy effectiveness, often using large-scale international datasets like PISA, PIRLS, and TIMSS. A notable trend shows increasing focus on technology-enabled educational innovation and teacher adoption factors in recent years, alongside continued comparative analysis of educational performance across political and socioeconomic contexts.

Dr. Stumbrienė actively participates in major international education research conferences including EWEPA, LEER, INTED, and EDULEARN, demonstrating her engagement with the global education research community. Her collaborative approach is evident through numerous co-authored publications with international researchers, particularly from Portugal and other EU countries.

Through her leadership in the Educational Systems Group, Dr. Stumbrienė contributes to Vilnius University's mission of advancing data-driven approaches to education policy and practice. Her work bridges theoretical methodology development with practical applications for improving educational outcomes across diverse national contexts within Europe.
