Expectacions of pedagogical workers from psychologists
ŠVAJGROVÁ, Lenka
The goal of my thesis is to describe what expectations pedagogical workers have from psychologists. The theoretical part contains information about psychology of education and school psychologist's relationships. Based on that knowledge I tried to discover expectations of pedagogical workers from school psychologists. For that, I used qualitative research techniques. In overall professional and personal expectations of pedagogical workers from school psychologists are high. Sometimes expectations of pedagogical workers can be unclear which can cause misunderstanding among pedagogical workers and school psychologists. But even then pedagogical workers appreciate school psychologists especially because of inclusion.

Learning motivation of the second generation of Vietnam immigrants
VOKROJOVÁ, Nela
This undergraduate thesis summarizes the basic motivation theory and knowledge that is available about the Vietnamese culture.
