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
Increasing complex social challenges in the modern knowledge economy require collaboration and teamwork for tasks that a person cannot solve alone. However, few studies have investigated how educational inequalities affect students’ soft skills. This study examines the impact of economic and ethnic school segregation on collaborative problem-solving (CPS) competencies for 15-year-old students in 41 countries, using the 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Our three-level random slope model illustrates that economic school segregation harms students’ CPS; however, ethnic segregation is not associated with their CPS. We also find that children from disadvantaged families have lower CPS skills in countries with economically segregated schools. The results suggest that inequalities resulting from economic segregation between schools contributes to the income gaps in CPS.
