Inmaculada Chiva Sanchís

Inmaculada Chiva Sanchís is an Associate Professor at the University of Valencia, affiliated with the Faculty of Philosophy and Educational Sciences. Her academic work centers on the Department of Research and Evaluation Methods in Education, where she contributes to research on educational assessment, lifelong learning, and inclusive pedagogical practices.

Her research interests focus on the design and evaluation of educational programs, particularly in contexts of social vulnerability. She is actively involved in two prominent research groups: DIVFOREVA (Diversity and Evaluation in Lifelong Learning) and UISYS (Unit of Information and Social and Health Research), both of which emphasize methodological rigor in evaluating learning processes across diverse populations.

The thematic trends in her work, though not exhaustively detailed in publications here, reflect a strong commitment to equity in education, methodological innovation in program evaluation, and the integration of research in social and health domains. Her doctoral research on vocational training for at-risk groups underscores her long-standing engagement with marginalized communities.

She has supervised at least one PhD thesis, completed in 2006, under the co-supervision of Dr. Jesús Miguel Jornet Meliá and Dr. María Jesús Perales Montolío. While no formal list of advisees or grants is provided, her role as a thesis supervisor and research group participant suggests active mentorship and collaborative project involvement.

Her primary research base is supported through institutional affiliation and participation in interdisciplinary research teams focused on social, educational, and health-related inquiry.
