Narrative evaluation from the perspective of teachers
Kopecká, Natálie ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Gargulák, Karel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to understand how teachers in upper primary schools using verbal assessment perceive this type of feedback. This goal is achieved through ten in-depth interviews that focus on the teachers' own understanding of the concept and relating to it, its benefits towards teachers and the problems they face because of its application. Furthermore, the thesis focuses on teachers' understanding of their own role in the process and their view of the roles of other actors, especially in terms of the principle of affordance. The analysis revealed that verbal evaluation is perceived by teachers as an essential part of their professional identity. The main benefits of the application of verbal assessment are considered by teachers to be the opportunity to get to know their pupils better and to improve their pedagogical and psychological skills. On the other hand, the biggest difficulty for them is the lack of time and, in terms of emotional experience, the translation of verbal assessment into grades. In terms of accountability, teachers identified the pupil as the main beneficiary to whom they render accounts, but at the same time they described several other actors whose demands they must take into account. One could therefore speak of an overload of accountability, or even of...

Nerad, Jáchym ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Gargulák, Karel (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on different views of parents' role in education. It draws on the previous research of parents' involvement in education and develops the research further through an analysis of a specialized periodical. More specifically, it focuses on how the authors of Teachers' Newspaper perceived the parents' role between 2003-2013. To achieve this objective, it adopts the method of frame analysis which examines highlighting of various aspects of observed reality in texts. In this case, the frame analysis of Teachers' Newspaper explores different aspects of authors' experience with parents made salient in their texts. The frame analysis uses the concepts of parents' role in education as frames and examines presence of such framing in the texts. The frame analysis was enhanced by the identification of recurring themes the authors attributed to parents. The identified themes were used to describe different types of framing. The analysis discovered framing of parents as educational partners, customers, problems and social partners. The analysis did not, however, reveal any presence of framing parents as citizens. On the other hand, the analysis showed presence of other, previously undefined frames. These are parents as determinants, engagement targets, and debate participants.

The Coordinator of Inclusive Education at Primary School
Stodola, Marek ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Gargulák, Karel (referee)
The following bachelor thesis deals with a topic of the coordinators of inclusive education at primary schools. The coordinator of inclusion is a specialized member of school's staff whose duties are to help the school to cope with the inclusive education successfully. The position of the coordinator assumes that teachers and other school's staff do not know how to deal with educational inclusive elements they are supposed to follow and carry out. The coordinators might help the school to establish a pro-inclusive environment where all the actors know how to educate the children with the special educational needs. The coordinator of inclusion is not legislatively enshrined so the school has to decide whether the position of the coordinator will be established there. The thesis uses the semi-structured interviews with a member of the teaching staff, with a school principal or his/her deputy head, and with the coordinator. The interviews will be analysed using the thematic analysis. I will focus on describing the particular duties of the coordinators, then on the perceptions of the teachers and principals to the coordinators and their mutual interactions. The analysis will be also focused on the potential problems and limitations of the coordinator's job. The results of this thesis show that there...
