Research Interest

The primary focus of my research is effective teaching of chemistry at tertiary level. As one of the basic sciences, chemistry underpins all of the natural and agricultural sciences, health sciences and engineering. South Africa faces serious challenges in the teaching and learning of chemistry because of poor preparation of students at secondary level.  My research contributes towards the national effort to deliver more and better qualified graduates in these fields.
