OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
