1. As part of the work for my MPhil (Higher Education) programme, I have done a study on the challenges to practices in the assessment and evaluation of undergraduate earth science learners posed by issues of complexity and new modes of knowledge production. This was coupled to a case study on examination validity in undergraduate earth science programmes.
2. I am working on developing assessment models for BSc Honours level projects and miniprojects in earth sciences. This is being done in the light of the challenges posed by new modes of knowledge production.
Evaluation of Higher Education Institutions
I have also studied evaluation at institutional level, culminating in a submission to the Department of Education on the SA Council On Higher Education's Size and Shape Task Team report on restructuring the SA higher education system.
