OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Many rich nations face a shortage of qualified teachers, particularly in science and mathematics. Tackling this shortage requires a better understanding of the preferences of undergraduates as they decide whether (or not) to enter the teaching profession. This talk will discuss the findings from a recent discrete choice survey experiment conducted with a large sample of UK undergraduates. This research design allows us to quantify students’ preferences for different job attributes and show how these vary by undergraduate degree subject. The results suggest a number of ways in which teaching could be made more attractive to recent graduates, and how policy could be tailored to appeal specifically to those with degree-level qualifications in science and mathematics.
