Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
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.
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.
