Mr. Mphiriseni Khwanda

Overview

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 Recent Publications: Khwanda, M . (2020).
