Teachers' attitudes towards the use of the name Czechia
Lambert, Filip ; Jelen, Jakub (advisor) ; Chromý, Pavel (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the attitudes of teachers at primary and secondary schools, whether they know the difference between a geographical and a political name. The main goal of the work is to find out if teachers use the geographical names Czechia / Czechia in teaching, or for what reasons they prefer the political name, and if these reasons are relevant. The work also deals with the historical context of names over the last hundred years with an insight into the beginnings of the use of geographical names. The work primarily examines current events in the media and on the political scene. The research was conducted with the help of a questionnaire survey, to which 124 respondents responded. It was found that the majority of geography teachers use geographical names in their teaching, while the results were more balanced for teachers of other qualifications. Furthermore, it was found that respondents rejecting short names do not have any relevant reasons for not using them, but limit themselves to the dichotomy of subjective feelings, whether they like the name or not.

Conflict resolution styles among teachers in the context of stait-trait anxiety and self-esteem
ĎURICOVÁ, Jana
The bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of conflict resolution styles in the context of trait anxiety and self-eteem in teachers. Conflict resolution styles can be described as reactions to certain situations or specific patterns of behaviour in conflict situations. Trait anxiety is defined in the literature as a personality trait with a tendency toward feelings of worry and distress and a greater tendency toward anxious reactions. Self-esteem is viewed by most authors as a representation of the emotional relationship with oneself. The theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to the contents of the mentioned constructs. The practical part describes teachers' conflict resolution styles towards pupils, parents of pupils and colleagues. It also investigates whether gender, length of experience, trait anxiety, and self-esteem influence the choice of conflict resolution styles. The research involved 147 teachers, selected by simple random sampling, who were administered a battery of self-assessment questionnaires, the ROCI-II, STAI X-2 and RSES, in an online format. The results of the research show teachers most often choose an integrative and compromising style when dealing with conflicts with pupils, parents of pupils and colleagues. They use the avoidant and dominating style the least. Neither gender nor length of experience has an effect on the choice of conflict resolution styles. There is a positive relationship between trait anxiety and avoidance conflict resolution style r = 0.280. The combination of low self-esteem and high anxiety increases the probability of preferring an avoidant style in conflict resolution. It is self-esteem, but not anxiety alone, that appears statistically significant in predicting avoidant style in conflict situations.

The study was guided by the Self-efficacy element of Albert Bandura's Socio- Cognitive Theory. A descriptive research design was used for the study. The target population for the study was teachers of learners with disabilities in primary schools in Kenya and the Czech Republic. Probabilistic sampling was applied in the study.

Cingrová, Kristýna ; Koura, Petr (advisor) ; Parkan, František (referee)
The thesis deals with the involvement of five pedagogical faculties in the Czech Republic in the Velvet Revolution in 1989. These are the Faculty of Education of Charles University, the Faculty of Education in České Budějovice, the Faculty of Education in Hradec Králové, the Faculty of Education in Pilsen and the Faculty of Education in Ústí nad Labem. The focus is mainly on the activities of students after the events at Národní třída on 17 November 1989, such as the announcement of a student strike, the establishment of strike committees and the beginnings of student self-government. However, attention is also paid to the atmosphere at the faculties during the 1980s and the activities in which students were involved during this period. One of the chapters is also devoted to students as important actors in our history. The historical development of higher teacher education in Czechoslovakia is not omitted. Other chapters are logically divided according to the individual faculties of education and include the historical development of the faculty, the atmosphere in the 1980s, the course of the student strike and the further direction of the faculty after the Velvet Revolution. The individual faculties of education are then compared with each other. The work is based on the analysis of contemporary...

Coping with demanding study responsibilities for conservatory students
Kellerová, Anna ; Kucharská, Anna (advisor) ; Kučerová, Olga (referee)
This master's thesis deals with the demanding responsibilities of studying at a conservatoire and coping with them. The aim of the thesis is to research how students experience their studies, the stress and also how they cope with the stress itself. Conservatoire students are a very specific group of pupils. From an early age they publicly perform, they are being judged, compared and they develop a very unique individual relationship with their teachers. All these circumstances can lead to difficult situations in their life. The theoretical part of the thesis is therefore divided into 4 main chapters. In the first chapter there is a brief description of studying at a conservatoire with a focus on its technicalities. The second chapter examines stress amongst musicians, what causes it, how it emerges, and I also mention stress among young musicians and how it differs from stress experienced by professional musicians in this chapter. The next part brings the reader closer to specific challenging situations in the lives of conservatoire students and the last chapter describes coping strategies that can be used in the lives of musicians. The practical part of the thesis is carried out in the form of semi-structured interviews with conservatoire students from several schools in the Czech Republic. The...
