About Mr. Mphiriseni Khwanda

Fields of Specialisation: Physics Education

Research Interests:

I am currently busy with PHD at UNISA, focusing on how inquiry-based teaching strategies can be implemented by FET in-service teachers where resources are limited. I am also interested in research related to the teaching and learning of physics with the aim of improving the quality of teaching and learning.

Teaching Modules:

Currently teaching  physics part of preservice teachers  modules from first to third year
