She is also a fellow researcher at the Center for Economic and Social Research of the University of Southern California (USA).

Dr. Vonkova’s research interests focus on the quantitative methodology and applied statistics in the areas of education and health. She has published papers on testing the assumptions and the specification of parametric models using anchoring vignettes, on the effectiveness of school-based preventive interventions targeting at drug use among children, on the impact of Bologna Process policies on the quality of teacher training at universities, and on the measurement of subjective well-being.

Her current research focuses on using anchoring vignettes method to increase the validity of surveys that use students’ assessments of teacher quality, school discipline, their ICT skills and their English language knowledge. In addition, she is researching possibilities and limits of universal prevention interventions at schools.

She teaches methodology of educational research, development and use of achievement tests, logic for students of social sciences, general education and didactics and topics related to writing academic theses.
