Dr. Nkuba's research interest includes parenting psychology, child violence protection as well as chilldren's mental health as linked to school achievement. For the previous years, He spent his time investigating the prevalence and factors associated with child violence in Tanzanian families, schools and alternative care setting such as orphanages. In collaboration with other researchers from the University of Konstanz, University of Bielefeld in Germany and Mbarara University of Science and Technology in Uganda, he developed, implemented and evaluated a child violence prevention intervention approach for teachers "Interaction competence with children for teachers,ICC-T" relevat for managing discipline without tears among students in Tanzanian school context. He then participated in testing a violence prevention model "Interaction competence with children for Care givers (ICC-C)" in Tanzania in 2018 to year 2020. He is currently leading a team to test the feasibility of a new model "Interaction competence with children for Parents (ICC-P) in Tanzania. Dr. Nkuba's emphasis is on the use of effective and non-violent discipline strategies in managing children's misbehaviours both in homes and schools. His emphasize have been more on the use of positive attention and active ignoring as opposed to violent discipline strategies, permissible parenting and child neglect.
