The Sorting of Pupils with Special Educational Needs to Classes Based on Ability Grouping and Skill Profiling
Klimecká, Ester ; Němec, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Kotvová, Miroslava (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to examine the impact of the inner structure of specially profiled elementary schools (for example language oriented elementary schools, natural science oriented elementary schools) on the distribution of pupils with special educational needs in the school. In particular, we focus on the composition of the classes or specialized groups in terms of balanced profiling of the pupils with special educational needs. This thesis poses the question, whether there is any discrepancy between the idea of specially oriented schools (which differentiates pupils based on their talents, hobbies or any other aspects) and the goal of inclusion which is the current goal of Czech education system. And if there is a discrepancy, is it being reflected from the position of the school management? What is their stated motivation for these practices? And what are the outcomes of employing them? The methodology of this thesis is a qualitative research. In particular, we have conducted semi-structured interviews with principals or other educational specialists in the management position of a specific school. These interviews are then included in four case studies, which are discussed, compared and analysed using relevant literature. KEYWORDS ability grouping, skill profiling, inclusion,...

Quaint Fantasy. Apprehension of Michal Ajvaz as an Author of Magical Realism
Klimecká, Ester ; Kubíček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mocná, Dagmar (referee)
The thesis deals with a question if it is appropriate to consider Czech writer Michal Ajvaz to be an author of magical realism. His fiction usually incorporates supernatural objects or events into a natural fictional world just as in the fiction of magical realism. The thesis analyses the nature of magic motifs and events in the studied literature, as well as literary techniques, which are used to achieve this specific kind of poetics. By examination of the canonical works of magical realism, such as the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude by G. G. Márquez, The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende or the novel Midnight Children by S. Rushdie, we can specify the structure of this literary genre and compare it to the texts of Michal Ajvaz. In a survey, we focus on two Ajvaz's early novels - the fantastic one The Other City (1993) and the philosophical prose The Golden Age (2001). KEYWORDS Michal Ajvaz, magical realism, magic realism, postmodernism, The Other City, The Golden Age
