Mrůzková, Helena ; Havelková, Hana (advisor) ; Smetáčková, Irena (referee)
Gender stereotypes exist in society at large, and in the education system in particular. These stereotypes show the male as the dominant person, who works outside the home in often prestigious occupations. The female is usually showed as being subordinate and confined to the home. Moreover, these stereotypes give the fact that females choose predominantly humanistic and domestic sciences, while males choose science and technology. In my dissertation I analyze gender stereotypes that are in teachers' minds at the Grammar School. Eight teachers participated in this research, in eight different classes. The research is separated into three basic parts: videotyping of lessons and their analyze, the self-reflection from teachers and finally, individual interwiev between researcher and respondent that is also analysed in the name of gender stereotypes. The aim of my research is to analyze gender stereotypes from teachers to students with aspect of different access to girls and boys.

In elections with plurality voting system, such as legislative elections and Senate elections with one or two senators, the parity was supposed to be achieved by imposing of financial penalty for those political parties that would not comply with the parity laws.
