 I am from Iran.

My main research interest is multiple-choice items and test development. I focus on the influence of item writing techniques on item validity and reliability. I am also interested in the study of supplementary education. I explore causes and outcomes of private tutoring by using nationally representative data in Turkey, drawn from Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) made available by OECD. I specialize in advanced quantitative methods and large datasets.
