Kopecký, René ; Havlůjová, Hana (advisor) ; Charvát, Petr (referee)
The rigorous work Bed ich Hrozný and the Oriental Institute in Prague with help of the National Masaryk Fund is about life and work of the old-oriental philologist and historian, important personality of Czechoslovakian social and academic life. The work describes mostly the foundation of the Oriental Institute in Prague and the first decades of its existence. The Oriental Institute has existed de facto since 1920, and de iure since 1922. However, the question remains, how much the letter of law was fulfilled. As the constitutive meeting, concerning foundation of the Oriental institute took place on March 1st , 1928. It also deals with the related activities such as the National Masaryk Fund, from which the Oriental Institute was co-financed, or the archaeological research of Bed ich Hrozný in Syria - tell Sheykh Sa ad and Tell Erfad and in Turkey - tell Kültepe. All of the archaeological findings of Bed ich Hrozný, which he brought to Prague, were not preserved till nowadays.

However, they were not secured properly there. In December 1969, the part of the findings of Bed ich Hrozný were destroyed by the fire in the castle...

Chvojková, Samantha ; Lánský, Ondřej (advisor) ; Samek, Tomáš (referee)
In March 2020, the Czech Republic began to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to the pandemic, a state of emergency was repeatedly declared in the Czech Republic and various measures were taken. These measures included: restrictions on physical (and with it social) contact, restrictions on tourism, business and services, work obligations for students of pedagogical and medical faculties, school closures and the transition to distance learning, and much more. This work is devoted to qualitative research among medical students, whose studies have been significantly disrupted by distance learning, interruption of internships and the announcement of work duties. The main goal of this work is to find out what risks related to the Covid-19 pandemic are perceived by medical students themselves in terms of their studies and future practice? As part of the qualitative research that I will prepare and implement, semi-structured interviews with 6 students of the last two years of the 3rd Faculty of Medicine at Charles University will be evaluated. The aim is therefore to find out how medical students view their studies before and during the covid-19 epidemic; how they cope with the effects of this crisis and what they think about it; what they think will affect their future and the level of care they will be able to...

Šenk, Martin ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the history of the faculty of theology in Prague from its foundation in 1347 until the outbreak of the Hussite revolution. This thesis first maps the assumptions of the establishment of general teaching in Prague and the founding act of Pope Clement VI. and Emperor Charles IV. Subsequently, the beginnings of teaching at the faculty of theology and its institutional development until 1419 are described. Special attention is paid to the issue of the papal establishment of the faculty, the organization of studies and the role of the Archbishop of Prague as the university chancellor. The internal difficulties of the faculty and the placement of the faculty of theology in the context of the history of Charles University are not neglected either. Methodologically, the work is based on a comparison of literature, and analysis of sources.

Vokšická, Barbora ; Straková, Jana (advisor) ; Stará, Jana (referee)
The quality of education of teachers has recently started to be in the focus of educational theory, research and of education policy in all developed countries, including the Czech Republic. We face problems such as unqualified teachers, the lack of interest of young people in teaching, the departure of teachers from schools, the quality of education of teacher, with regard to the needs of modern society and the labor market. Furthermore, the lack of a standard for the teaching profession together with the high autonomy of universities leads to a situation in which individual faculties of primary education design education programs completely independently and we have little information, If they are equipping graduates with comparable knowledge and skills, building similar attitudes and establishing teacher education of similar priority. The theoretical part is devoted to the development of teacher education of primary schools in the Czech Republic after 1989, the legislative and conceptual anchoring of university teacher training. In the practical part, the thesis attempts to answer the question of how different is the preparation of primary school teachers at various faculties of education in the Czech Republic. The case studies were carried out at two departments of primary education in order to...

This master thesis deals with the development of the academic relations between the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany during the so-called normalization, so from the beginning of the 1970s to the fall of the so-called Iron Curtain. The main focus lies on the inter-university partnership between Charles University in Prague and the University of Hamburg, which was concluded in Prague in 1980 and is successfully carried out till today. It was the first cooperation agreement Charles University made with a West German university during the period of the cold war. The thesis analyses, in which way both universities approached the partnership and how the cooperation could be put into practice. The main objective of the text is to find out which dynamics the partnership in the observed period gained and if the cooperation even managed to overcome the original expectations of the main actors considering the given conditions within the domestic and international politics. The examined cooperation is put into a broader context, not only of the development of the Czechoslovak-West German relations but also of the situation within international politics. The partnership was possible to negotiate thanks to bilateral agreements, which arranged the further development of the...
