Simonová, Jaroslava ; Straková, Jana (advisor) ; Veselý, Arnošt (referee) ; Šeďová, Klára (referee)
Primary school choice - an important mechanism influencing equity in education Jaroslava Simonová Abstract This dissertation describes the process of school choice in primary education and the factors influencing it. Using a qualitative grounded theory design, the work builds on data from 41 interviews with parents from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Parents' decision-making about school choice is shaped primarily by the organizational needs of parents and their inner need to be a "good parent". When being interviewed, parents report a number of criteria, which, according to them, are important in school choice. However, for many of them they fail to obtain relevant and reliable information. Therefore, they may eventually make a decision based on criteria other than those referred to as important, although they are rarely aware of this shift and the change in criteria. There are three unavoidable criteria in decision-making: availability, reputation and the emotions that parents experienced at school during their visit. The child's needs are the important intervening conditions. They play an important role, especially if the parents feel that their child has some particular needs. The parents' experience with the education system and their personality characteristics are also important. The significant...

Stakeholders attitudes toward education policy management
Biolek, Jiří ; Veselý, Arnošt (advisor) ; Černý, Jakub (referee)
In this diploma thesis I focus on the issue of leading processes in the sphere of secondary education in the Czech Republic. In a narrower sense, I deal with the process of key models of the governance concept in a specific framework of educational policy from the stakeholders' perspective. The main outline of the work was created before the project Strategy 2030+ was launched and works as a certain retrospective of players approaches before that time. The basis of the work lies on my own primary qualitative data analysis arising from interviews with nineteen key actors. The aim of the research is a certain insight into the perspectives of actors with the intention of revealing the state and future possibilities of Czech secondary education in the field of multilevel governance. For this purpose, I have chosen the path of critical perspectives, which follows the exposed places of the mentioned subsystem. Following this objective, I try to define potential relationships among revealed facts. This work also has two remarkable outputs. The first is a theory of weak link that I created to anchor some difficult-to- explain outputs, and the second is documenting the process of creating an analytical filter for Atlas.ti software.

Skalník, Michal ; Veselý, Arnošt (advisor) ; Háva, Petr (referee)
Problems of mental health care in the Czech republic have been defined in the early nineties. Yet after nineteen years of progress in this area, these problems are still major topics in mental health care policy documents. Main purpose of diploma paper is therefore to analyse mental health care problems and at the same time also might-be solutions. Mental health care problems definitions as conceptualized in mental helth care policy documents are found to be plausible. Though the amount of supportive data is sufficent, there are differences in decisiveness of some arguments. Available solutions are brought up and described in various manners in order to show their own logic, rules and after all their usability. Final conclusions consider the roles and responsiblities of various policy actors.
