College Dean: Teaching & Learning
The College of Law and Management Studies Teaching and Learning Unit implements teaching and learning initiatives and conducts teaching-related research among staff and students in all the Schools of the College: the Graduate School of Business and Leadership; the School of Management, Information Technology and Governance; the School of Accounting, Economics and Finance; and the School of Law.
The Unit contributes to the Commerce related degree programmes through a range of student-focused programmes and activities that are concerned with assisting students in making the transition from school learning to more independent and critical approaches at university. These aspects are dealt with specifically in students’ first year of study as part of the Foundation Programme and the First Year Experience Programme to enable them to continue these practices throughout their undergraduate years and beyond.

Research Projects
Understanding student engagement and persistence at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
A significant proportion of students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal leave without completing a degree. This is despite several interventions that have been put in place to support students, including technologically sophisticated teaching resources and a commitment to SoTL. The aim of this study is to examine the structural, situational, and dispositional barriers that students face and the gaps that UKZN must address to improve student persistence. The study is located within an emerging field of Educational Data Mining and leverages on diverse methodologies, enabling us to classify students, confirm prior studies, and provide evidence of impact for some of the interventions to support students.
Currently two papers have been published, with a few under review.
