Education Science, Technology and Engineering Curriculum and Pedagogy

Chemistry Education is my area of research interest. My broad aim is to improve students’ perceptions of chemistry and to develop capacity for real change in the depth of their understanding and enjoyment of Chemistry. To achieve these aims we must be able to measure aspects of interest using tools that perform within accepted standards, under defined conditions and in the local context. My research interests fall into three broad categories:
