Specifics and development of professional competences of teachers of vocational training
Veleta, Richard ; Vašutová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Linhartová, Dana (referee) ; Urbánek, Petr (referee)
There are nearly 8 000 teachers of vocational training in the Czech Republic. Their work dramatically influences the future of tens of thousand pupils preparing for specific occupation. These people are being non-formally called master / mistress; and in the past their profession was officially called master of vocational training, master of vocational education. Every graduate from secondary vocational school remembers one or two masters or mistresses who essentially influenced their life and attitude towards work, whether in the best or the worst sense. Despite this fact, we do not know much about teachers of vocational training yet. When we hear the word teacher, we usually think about representatives of other teacher subprofessions- basic school teacher, teacher of general subjects or teacher of vocational subjects. The work of teachers of vocational training seems to be hidden and we must add that these teachers do not dramatically increase the awareness of their work at all. Aim of the thesis is to provide a comprehensive view of the teacher of vocational training and to identify-on the basis of research the most important work activities or tasks of people performing this profession. Such comprehensive description is not available in the contemporary Czech pedagogical literature. The thesis...

Neumannová, Helena ; Vašutová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Horák, Josef (referee) ; Andrášová, Hana (referee)
The author of this dissertation points out the parallels between language competence of graduates of the bachelor study and the master programmes at the Faculty of Economics of the Technical University in Liberec and their chances on the labour market. The dissertation highlights the significance of foreign language training for the economic graduates living in the euro-region, where the job offer is strongly influenced by foreign investors. The exclusive amount of hours in language teaching certainly increases the attraction of those subjects whose aim is to educate specialists having, on base of their competence of two world languages, better success prospects on the labour marked.
