OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
