I am a habilitated educational scientist (PhD) and retired Associate Professor at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE, Faculty of Primary and Pre-School Education). My academic work has a long-standing focus on educational assessment and higher education pedagogy. I teach and supervise doctoral candidates at the Doctoral School of Education of the University of Szeged and at ELTE’s Doctoral School of Education, supporting both Hungarian and international PhD students. My scholarly work integrates research, teacher education and practice-oriented innovation. My PhD research examined teacher thinking, while my habilitation focused on student-centred assessment in higher education. My research interests include higher education teaching and learning, assessment in public and higher education, teacher and learner beliefs, learning competencies, and teacher and student well-being. For more than 25 years, I have contributed to the renewal of teacher education and educational practice in Hungary and through international and EU collaborations. I have taken active roles as expert, coordinator and developer in international projects, including CHARM-EU, UKids and EuroLearn. Mentoring and talent development are central to my professional identity; I have supervised 11 PhD candidates and supported student research communities. I remain actively engaged in doctoral education, research methodology teaching, and academic mentoring within national and international higher education contexts.
