Duchoňová, Denisa
This bachelor thesis deals with comparison of home education in Czechia and Chile. The aim was to compare chosen countries in their legislative framework of home education, in control mechanisms verifying results of this form of education an also to compare motives of parents that led them to choose this alternative for their children. Material for the comparison was obtained from literature research in Czech, English and Spanish. Motives leading parents to choose home education gained from the literature research were addictionally complemented with illustrative case study. Study was realized through semi-structured online video interviews with two female respondents who have direct personal experience with home education of their offsprings. Each respondent represented one chosen country, so the first respondent was from Czechia and the second one from Chile. Answers to the research questions were summarized in the assessment of matches and differences using the classification scale. Average evaluation of all the compared characteristics was evaluated as good, which means that chosen countries are partly matching and partly different in all compared characteristics. The final classification sententiously expresses mutual relations between all compared characteristics, because both compared countries have huge specifics in terms of home education. Both countries also have significant matches, mainly in the area of motives that led parents to choose this form of education for their offsprings where is the biggest match ratio.

As a secondary objective can be considered the systematic processing of sponsorship activation, which Czech literature still does not offer. Methods: In methodological terms, a case study was chosen that draws on observation of the author at the RunTour running races and especially on interviews with competent representatives of selected partners. Document analysis and interview with the event organizer were used to analyse the running series and sponsoring companies profile. Results: Given the descriptive nature of the research, it is not easy to summarize the results of the thesis. However, it can be stated that all three selected partner companies are aware of the importance of the sponsorship activation and have been clearly open to suggestions and recommendations of the author. Despite the different size of companies, it was generally recommended to establish mutual cooperation between partners. From sponsorship activation suggestions, which have the greatest potential for implementation in practice,...

This paper examines the case of financial literacy of horse owners. The theoretical part outlines the causes of financial illiteracy and its implications at the national level. The thesis summarizes the different approaches to addressing financial illiteracy in terms of the scientific studies and the implementation of these recommendations in the Czech Republic. The thesis briefly describes the current level of financial literacy at the national level to understand the context in which the case under study is situated. Within the exploratory research case study, the opinions of stakeholders in equestrian sport and horse breeding are obtained by a qualitative approach and then the socio-demographic data and information as well as the financial knowledge and financial behaviour of the horse owners themselves are collected by a quantitative method. According to the data obtained, the group of horse owners shows low financial knowledge and poor financial behaviour. In addition to the low level of financial literacy of the group of horse owners surveyed, problems related to poor general knowledge concerning horse breeding are also identified. On the basis of these findings, the thesis identifies subjects for which this work should serve as a basis for directing others to better formulate rules for...
