 PROFILE My professional desire is to translate psychological theories, principles and empirical research findings on human learning, behaviour and cognition that have application and implications for effective and efficient teaching and learning into practice in the classroom. This is basically aimed at promoting and enhancing the ability of learners to maximize their learning experiences within and without the classroom setting. The issue of school peer relationship problems among learners and interpersonal aggression and violence on campus are also of interest to me, particularly how these issues affect students' learning and schooling.
