Changes in the education of history in Czechoslovakia 1948-1956
Bimková, Dana ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
The education of history has always been influenced by society and by the political establishment. After February 1948, the Communist party in Czechoslovakia directed everything; the education was no exception. The objectives and contents of the education were directly subordinated to the political control that did not allow any changes proposed by teachers or scientists. On the other hand, in the special educational serials was given surprisingly big space for discussions about the forms and the methodology of education of history. These discussions were led by educational scientists and by teachers. They were suggesting changes that would purge the education of history from formalism and would improve the overall quality of students' knowledge. At the beginning of the period under consideration (1948 - 1956), these discussions were only few and not very sophisticated. However, in the end of the period they were making basic part of the educational serials and they were on high scientific level. The main covered topics were: the using of literature, maps, pictures, films, and noticeboards in the lessons; teaching of regional history; going on some excursions; teaching of historical facts and datas; writing notices in the lessons; etc. The space, where these discussions took place, looked like a space for...

Němcová, Alena ; Svatoš, Michal (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
The achievement of my bachelors work is to describe the changes in the German Charles University in Prague during the second world war. The main topics that I am to describe are personal changes either racial clean outs or the slowlier and less dramatic changes because of political reliability to the Germans. I am also going to write about the new subjects that were entered because of the new political climat. I will describe these with help of H. J. BEYER, who, being collaborator of SD, was an interesting example of young and ambitious teacher, who did not hesitated and took all the advantages, that the new systém at the University offered to a politicaly loyal person like him. He uses his position to discredit those of his collegues, that could threaten his career.

Résumé This thesis examines the situation at three Czech universities in 1947 - 1950, Charles University in Prague, Masaryk University in Brno and Palacky University in Olomouc. To have an event around February 1948 to describe and then compare, it was necessary to go back to the time shortly after the Second World War, as the post-war development has undoubtedly influence on events in the following period.

Faculty of Philosphy and Arts Charles University, Prague 1945-1953
Zubec, Tomáš ; Svatoš, Michal (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis examines the situation at the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts, Charles University, Czechoslovakia, in the aftermath of World War II, specifically during the tumultuous period from 1945 to 1953. It outlines the difficulties the University faced in the early post-war years in trying to cope with large numbers of students who had been unable to complete their studies due to the war, and who now wished to enroll. It also describes key events that intimately affected the University, such as the 600th anniversary of the founding of the University and the "Victorious February" of 1948, which decidedly changed the University's traditions. The thesis outlines the gradual change and ideological transformation of the University following the Communist takeover of February 1948. I illustrate societal and university developments during the period using the example of Professor Václav Čern, who served as a faculty member since the 1930s until his expulsion, on ideological grounds, in 1951. Many other faculty members, as well as students and staff, were forced to leave the University following ideologically driven inspections. Consequently, the Faculty and the entire University assumed an entirely new role in society. This was formalized with the adoption of a new law on higher education of 18 May...
