Höschlová, Marie ; Stará, Jana (advisor) ; Greger, David (referee)

The thesis builds on foreign sources and compares the situation in the Czech Republic with the situation in other countries in the world.

Disertační práce, kterou předkládám k obhajobě, vznikala po dobu pěti let. Na jejich začátku jsem byla plná otázek, které se zrodily při výzkumech v rámci mých diplomových prací z pedagogické psychologie a sociologie. Obě práce se věnovaly učitelům a učitelkám; první z nich (2000) rozpracovávala téma identity vyučujících a její saturace dětmi a jejich rodiči, druhá diplomová práce (2002) pak sledovala rozdíly v představách učitelů a učitelek o jejich povolání.
