The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the role of the special educator from the point of view of pedagogical staff of kindergartens and from the point of view of a special educator from a school counseling center. Another aim is to find out if teachers would appreciate establishing the post of a special school educator in kindergarten and in case they have already established it, whether the kindergarten benefits from it. In the theoretical part, there are defined the terms such as integration and inclusion and its relationship, the current situation in the Czech republic and the legislative background. In this section there is also specified the inclusive education in kindergarten and defined the term child with special educational needs. The thesis further focuses on personality of the special educator, his activities at school and school counseling centre within the process of ongoing inclusion, and finally with his own education. The last chapter of this part is focused on selected specifies in the inclusive education for childern with disabilities. There is a qualitative research carried out in the practical part, where are interviews conducted with thirteen pedagogical workers of kindergartens and one special educator from the school counseling centre.

In one case the interview is conducted via electronic correspondence. The output of the bachelor thesis is an evaluation of the role of a special educator from the point of view of pedagogical workers. The pedagogical workers of kindergartens rated this post in the inclusive education as very beneficial and important, at the same time, many of them do not feel sufficient assistance and support from a special educator in the education of a child with special educational needs. The special educator from the school counseling centre has confirmed that his role is essential and in the context of inclusive education well founded. In spite of that, due to the large number of children with special educational needs in schools and due to the fact, the job is demanding and time-consuming, it is impossible to take well care of all children and schools as would be required. Most of the pedagogical workers would appreciate establishment of the post of special school educator in their kindergartens, because of the overall support in the education of children with special educational needs.

The second chapter explores school and school counselling services that are offered. The position of special school educator is dealt with in chapter three. The practical section deals with the aims of the thesis and processes research questions. The aim of the thesis was to find out how services of school special educators are offered to parents of elementary school pupils and what the cooperation between the parents of elementary school pupils and special school educators is like. Based on the objectives, two research questions were identified. The questions explore how well-informed parents are about the services of special school educators. The second section focuses on areas in which parents cooperate with special school educators. To achieve this goal, the author has chosen the qualitative research method based on questioning special school educators. The topic of the interview dealt with awareness of services for parents and about cooperation. The results suggest that, in their view, special school educators sufficiently inform parents about their services. Parents can find information on the web sites of schools or from special school educators. A decisive factor in terms of awareness from the view of special school educators is the perceived attitude of parents. The area of cooperation between the special school educators and the parents is directed towards the needs of the pupil. The results of this thesis can be interesting for students in the field of special education who want work as a special school educator.

For the research part of the bachelor thesis there are determined two main research objectives. The first objective describes the possibilities for further education of special educationists in the common education area. The second objective aimed to find out how special educationist perceive the common education of pupils in the education mainstream.

The responding sample collected ten school-special educationists who work at primary schools in the South Bohemian Region České Budějovice and Strakonice. The research has shown how often the special educationist attend additional qualification courses and common pupil training courses which are currently offered by a different institutions and they looking for the necessary information on current legislation. From the analysis of special educationists personal opinions , I came to the conclusion that mainly negative opinions prevailed among them in the question of the common education. Very often there were criticized unpreparedness and lack of knowledge of educationists, so frequent legislative changes or the large number of pupils in the class. On the other hand there was positively evaluate a support for pupils with special educational needs thanks to support measures and also the same opportunities for all pupils. The results of the bachelor's thesis can be used by special school educationists working in schools as well as by special educationists working in school counseling facilities. Here after educationists assistant or university students in the field of special pedagogy study. I see the benefit of this work in the need of the current situation mapping which is new in the Czech education system and has not been studied yet well up to now.

The role of special teacher in secondary education.
SVOBODOVÁ, Tereza
The undergraduate thesis deals with the subject of a school special pedagogical worker in secondary education. The objective of the research is to determine the significance, importance and need for employment of a school special pedagogical worker in secondary educational institutions; to establish if the employee is beneficial for the school, where he works, and if other pedagogical workers are satisfied with his or her work. In case of schools where is no school special pedagogical worker employed, I was interested what the reason is; if they are interested in finding someone for such a position and who is responsible for his or her duties in the mean time. It was necessary to have an expert's opinion on the subject, therefore I addressed a special pedagogical worker from a pedagogical and psychological counseling center. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part mostly concentrates on the school special pedagogical worker, his or her activities, education and groups of interest. The practical part comprises a qualitative research. As a method for obtaining information, a semi-structured interview was chosen. The group of interest consists of representatives of selected high schools in the Western and Southern Bohemia. Among the respondents there are representatives of school leadership, pedagogical workers, and of course a school special pedagogical worker. The results display that school special pedagogical workers are not desirable. One of the main reasons is the lack of financial resources. However, I see a bigger problem in insufficient awareness of pedagogical workers at high schools about a school pedagogical worker's scope of employment. Often I encountered switching of the two terms: a school special pedagogical worker and a careers master. Nevertheless, due to the planned inclusion, some of the high school workers are inclined to establish the position of a school special pedagogical worker in secondary education in future.
