Abolfazl Rafiepour

I am Abolfazl Rafiepour, PhD in mathematics education. I used to be a teacher of mathematics for 12 years. I have also 12 years of teaching experience at university level. I mostly work pre-service and in-service teacher education during my teaching experience at the university level. Beside that I taught several math courses for engineering students. I Published 32 journal papers (6 indexed in Scopus, 3 indexed in Web of Science, and 2 are JCR 9 in international refereed journals in English and 26 in national refereed journals in Persian. I also Published 31 journal article in magazine (in Persian). I Presented 61 papers at national conferences and 24 papers at international conference. I Supervisor of one PhD student, advisor of three PhD students, supervisor of 31 master students and advisor of 10 master students in the field of mathematics education. I organized and co-operated with several research projects in Iran, Australia, Canada and Norway. I served as the head of Mathematics Education Research Group in Mahani Mathematical Research Center, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, Iran. I also work as coordinator of national research project about " School Mathematics Curriculum Standards" , with corporation of Iranian Mathematics Society & Iran National Science Foundation.
