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
Teachers are the backbone of education, with around 90 million educators shaping the futures of nearly 2 billion students worldwide. However, a serious and growing crisis has emerged as countries face persistent shortages of both current and aspiring teachers. Conventional interventions, primarily financial incentives, have proven to be ineffective, offering only short-term relief without addressing the underlying motivations that attract and alienate potential teachers.
This presentation explores how we can integrate research and theory from education and psychology to develop new and effective approaches to address local and global teacher shortages. Robert will discuss ongoing research that explores the motivations underlying the attraction and retention of teachers, and then demonstrate how we are leveraging these insights to develop new technologies aimed at tackling this persistent global challenge.
