Dr. Leonidas Kyriakides is Professor of Educational Research and Evaluation at the Department of Education of the University of Cyprus. Undergraduate studies at the Pedagogical Academy of Cyprus (Teacher's Diploma, 1988) and at the State University of New York (B.Sc. 1990, Mathematics). Graduate studies at the University of Warwick (M.A. 1991 and Ph.D. 1994 in Educational Research). He has taught at the Pedagogical Institute of Cyprus (1994-1998) and at the University of Warwick (1998-1999). His field of research and scholarship is the evaluation of educational effectiveness, whether of teachers, schools or educational systems. Currently his research agenda is concerned with the development of a dynamic model of educational effectiveness, and the application of research to the improvement of educational practice by establishing a dynamic approach to school improvement aiming to promote quality and equity in education. He has also been awarded an honorary doctorate by the Faculty of Education of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. Leonidas has been involved in several international projects. His work has contributed not only to theory improvement but also to the testing of theoretical models and using them for improving the quality and equity of education. Dr. Kyriakides acted as chair of the AERA SIG on School Effectiveness and Improvement and the EARLI SIG on Educational Effectiveness. He was also a member of the PISA 2015 QEG expert group that was responsible for developing the theoretical framework and the questionnaires of PISA 2015 study. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of “Studies in Educational Evaluation” as well as member of the editorial board of various international journals with referee system such as «School Effectiveness and School Improvement», «Effective Education», «Research Papers in Education» and «Educational and Psychological Measurement».

My field of research and scholarship is the evaluation of educational effectiveness, whether of teachers, schools or educational systems. My major contributions to knowledge in the field are in three distinct but related dimensions. These are the evaluation of teacher effectiveness, the evaluation of school effectiveness, and the development of generic and differential models of educational effectiveness that can be used for establishing links between research and improvement of policy and practice. Currently my research agenda is concerned with the development of a dynamic model of educational effectiveness, and the application of effectiveness research to the improvement of educational practice.
