Research interest: STEM-related teaching and learning in Africa 

My research seek to explore the pedagogical integration of mathematics and science when teaching the concept of density at junior high school level in Zimbabwe.  

The research designed research lesson plans, by fusing the problem solving and the inquiry learning approach. The research will further explore the extend at which the teachers realised the key principles of integrated STEM education and their attitudes and perceptions of integrated STEM education after going through the integration process.
