Science Educational research has become critical with the advent of new curriculum in the school sector and the challenges it impose on both the teachers and the learners. Further more the declining quality and competency of school leavers from science streams entering the higher education institutions demand added interventions and modeling for shaping the future of physics in South Africa as well as achieving desired outputs in higher education sector. Articles published in South African Journal of Higher Education, national and international conference proceedings, external examiner-ship for doctoral theses are motivational factors for furthering the research in science education.
