Reseach interests and publication
I graduated from School of Education, math department. My main concern has always been factors related to scholastic attainment. Theses factor include cognitive factors (cognitive styles, memory, academic risk taking, and visual attention); social and affective factors (emotional intelligence of the teachers, types of leadership at school, participation in activities).I have always been interested at assessing learning outcomes and students abilities. New trends in measurement as IRT are one of my interests. I published about 12 papers in memory, math learning disabilities, emotional intelligence of the teachers and students, thinking styles, educational leadership, academic risk, visual attention, creativity
