Research Interests

 

• Intersection of education, technology, and teaching practices to enhance learning outcomes. 
•  Innovative educational technologies, such as ChatGPT and computer simulations as it could improve instructional methods in mathematics and science. 
• The impact of media exposure and home environments on early childhood education, aiming to enhance school readiness among young learners. 
• A significant aspect of my work involves focusing on both in-service and pre-service teachers, particularly as I teach in the postgraduate diploma program. I examine educators' perspectives and effective teaching strategies,  
• Connection between educational practice and policy, fostering self-regulated learning and promoting a deeper understanding of technology's role in the classroom.
