SHORT BIO

I am Amin Bayat Barooni, and I am a Ph.D. candidate in Physics Education Research (PER) at Georgia State University. My main project in PER is designing physics activities by using research-based activities. The goal of his research is to help instructors to design their own physics activities. As an instructor/TA, I have taught in different physics courses and labs. After I received my Master's degree, I taught Physics at the high school level. I tried to enhance my country's educational methods since many teachers use traditional methods for teaching, which causes students to be unwilling and unmotivated to learn physics subjects. One day while using PhET as a simulation in my classes, I accidentally clicked on the icon on the PhET website. It connected me to the PER group at the University of Colorado at Boulder and changed my life! It is the first time that I saw this field. After that, I sent messages to different professors worldwide to learn new physics education techniques and utilize them in my class. However, after a while, I understood that they were designed for different education systems, and they did not entirely fit with the education system of my country. Unfortunately, we do not have PER at the graduate level in our country. Therefore, I decided to apply to study PER in the USA.
