The diploma thesis is aimed at further education as one of the possible means of combating the burnout syndrome of pedagogues. It is divided into two main parts, theoretical and practical. These sections are then subdivided into chapters and subchapters. In the theoretical part of the thesis I focus on teachers as an overall concept, more specifically on the personality traits of teachers, their key competences, the position of teachers in the Czech Republic, the development of their professional career, their education and the possibilities for further education. We also define what supervisors are, what types and forms we know, we will also look at supervision processes and their competencies. We will also discuss what the social environment is in school. In the second part of the theoretical part, we also look at the burnout syndrome, its theoretical definition, the symptoms associated with it, its manifestations and its consequences, we will also mention the risk factors for its formation and give us some possibilities of preventing the burnout syndrome. The practical part includes research that I did at selected schools in Chrudim. The main aim of this diploma thesis is to compare the incidence of burnout assumptions in schools with different approaches to education.

User Interface of Learning Management Systems Design and Validation of Functional Criteria as Basis for a Partial Evaluation
Ovesleová, Hana ; Štogrová Jedličková, Petra (advisor) ; Slussareff, Michaela (referee) ; Šušol, Jaroslav (referee)
Main topic of this thesis is evaluation of user interfaces of learning management systems (LMS). It is the users and their interaction with the system who are the focus of user interface design within the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), and that is why user experience was taken into account for interface evaluation. The aim of the thesis was proposition of function criteria field that reflect users' requirements on the system and that can therefore serve as a basis for partial LMS evaluation. Within the scope of HCI interdisciplinarity, we focused on technical-psychological view (computer - human), complemented by the field that reflects the very purpose of LMS - pedagogical process. We believe that combination of general function criteria, which can be applied to any system, and learning content criteria is crucial for LMS evaluation, together with criteria concerning distribution forms and work methods. Based on defined areas, LMS Unifor courses from 2012- 2014 period of time and LMS Moodle courses from 2015-2017 period of time were evaluated using qualitative and quantitative research methods. The output of the research is a set of function criteria, which we regard to be elementary and suggest to be taken into account when considering a LMS.

Markupová, Pavla ; Tomková, Anna (advisor) ; Marušák, Radek (referee)
The work deals with the cooperation of pupils among first and second grade pupils in a primary school. It analyzes to which extent are second grade pupils able to give their knowledge to pupils of the first grade. Then it shows how the learning style and the personality affects the cooperation of an individual within the group. The practical part proofs the long-term investigation in one class that was systematically prepared for the cooperation among older and younger pupils. The results of this research in the observed class evaluate higher level of cooperative and communication skills of individual pupils than those, who previously did not deal with cooperation. Teaching pupils how to cooperate gradually developed their relationship not only to younger classmates, but to the willingness to help each other, to respect the opinions of others and it also strengthened the relationships in the observed classroom.
