From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Quant Hub seminar: How to make teaching more attractive: evidence from a survey experiment with undergraduate students
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.
