Nováková, Klára ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Jelínková, Marie (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to understand how pupils with Vietnamese mother tongue perceive the period of compulsory schooling. The first three chapters of the thesis are devoted to a theoretical anchor that explains why inclusion in education is a relevant public policy issue.

Teachers' organizations as actors in educational policy
Saifrt, Daniel ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Černý, Jakub (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with teachers, teachers' organizations and their involvement in educational policy and in the creation of educational policy. Teachers are a very important actor in education policy, they are the actor on whom the success of a policy depends. Due to their importance in education policy and the whole education system, there is paid very little attention to them by researchers, and this work could begin to change and bring new ideas for further research of the teaching community. The aim of this work is to identify topics that are important for teachers' organizations representing teachers in policy-making, and describe their attitudes towards them. Another goal is to identify and describe the functioning of teachers' organizations in education policy and what role they often play in policy-making. Methodologically, the work has a mixed research design, but for the most part it is qualitative research. For meeting of goals were used methods of document content analysis and semi- structured interviews with representatives of the surveyed organizations. Research in this work has shown that teachers' organizations emphasize the topics of support and the position of teachers, the law on teachers, the revision of the framework educational programs and the employment conditions of...

The introduction of bilingual local names as a public policy process (case study)
Mašková, Jana ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Ochrana, František (referee)
This diploma thesis examines the public political process for the implementation of local bilingual names while focusing on the enforcement of this law for citizens with Polish nationality in the Těšin Region. The main objective is to explain why this policy was or was not changed, what the reasons were for the non-conformity of the policy objectives with the results and to discover the actual failures in the implementation process, where as a consequence, in some villages the right of the minority to use local bilingual names was not fulfilled or was beset with problems in some villages. The subject of the investigation of both the legal and the institutional aspect of the problem focuses on the participating subjects, where one of the main roles of the committee for national minorities on the board of the municipal representatives was the requirement to implement local bilingual names. The guidelines for understanding the tools, procedures and relations used were the initial theoretical points related to the institutions and their changes, the implementation process (top-down and bottom-up approaches), initial theoretical points explaining the responsibilities of the participating subjects and not the intended consequences of their actions and those of others. The research design is a case study.

This bachelor thesis deals with inclusive education from the view of primary school principals. This topic has been oftentimes discussed from the year 2016 due to settings new conditions for implementation of inclusive education.

The main goal of this bachelor thesis was to find out if the tasks from strategic documents are fulfilled in selected primary schools. Other goals were to find out how street-level bureaucrats can influence the implementation of inclusive education, then map how the principals cooperate with other stakeholders and identify the factors which negatively influence the fulfilment of the tasks from strategy documents.

Integration of children with ADHD syndrome at the primary school level
Richterová, Kateřina ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Mouralová, Magdalena (referee)
This thesis deals with an integration of children with ADHD syndrome to ordinary primary schools. Manifestations of the disorder hinder in pupil's education, therefore it's necessary to pursue to them individually. Thanks to an amendment to the Czech law in 2005, have these pupils with special educational needs greater attention. The author examines the implementation of integrational policies of pupils with ADHD syndrome, through interviews with street-level bureaucrats and their clients. When reviewing the two questioned cases the integration of pupils with ADHD syndrome in the presence of an assistant teacher seems like very good solution. But there is still a big role played by other concerned people like parents, teachers, teacher assistants, principals or counselors. Few shortcomings can be found in the integration, most often flowing from the inadequate funding or the obsolete education system. From results we can conclude that integrational trend is running in the Czech Republic, however there are not always appropriate conditions in schools.
