Fan, Jingyi ; Young, Mitchell (advisor) ; Amini, Chiara (referee) ; Weiss, Tomáš (referee)
In 1999, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy jointly signed the Bologna Declaration and proposed to establish an open European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The Bologna Process promoted the integration of higher education in Europe, and counteracted the integration of European politics and economy. Currently, 48 countries have joined the Bologna process. The influence of the Bologna process has also developed from Europe to other countries in Asia, Africa, and North America. The Bologna Process has established six goals at the beginning: credit system, degree system, student mobility, lifelong learning, quality assurance and European research area. From 1999 to 2000, the Bologna Process has accomplished these goals and put forward a plan for the new decade. The dissertation takes 2010 as the node and divides the Bologna Process into policy objectives and policy subjects through the policy network analysis framework, and analyze the correlation between policy subjects through the neo-functionalism. The result shows that the Bologna process will further deepen its goals in the next decade and attract more countries to join in the context of globalization. However, due to differences in economic and political backgrounds, there will be an differentiate integration based on their own...

The implementation process of accredited study programs into practice of a university (programs for English teachers)
Pírková, Jana ; Kasíková, Hana (advisor) ; Vincejová, Eva (referee)
The thesis examines the process of implementation of an accredited study program into practice. The theoretical part provides a brief excursion into the history of teacher education, which highlights the difficult journey in search of a suitable model of teacher education. The formation processes of teacher education are characterized by constant changes, which were not always properly thought out. These tendencies unfortunately do continue to the present day. Currently, the Czech education policy is largely influenced by European educational policy, which is aiming at unification. One of the unifying elements is the accreditation process, which should improve the quality of the study programs offered by European universities. Question is whether such standardization process leads to the improvement of teacher education or not, which is discussed in the second part of my theses where. I examined how two university departments implement Accreditation-Commission-approved program of study in practice. Based on the collected data I can state that the accreditation documents give the schools a framework, but the actual implementation depends largely on the strength of the management of the department and modus operandi of the individual members of the department.

The Criticism of Bologna Process in Germany
Boťová, Kateřina ; Filipová, Lucie (advisor) ; Konrád, Ota (referee)
This thesis deals with German criticism of the European higher education reforms within the so called Bologna Process. These reforms include the division of studies into two and later into three cycles, the introduction of a unified credit system and the support of mobility. Germany in particular represents a country, where the Bologna Process initiated a broad academic debate and became a subject of student protests. The paper discusses the criticism of particular goals, the overall concept of the reforms and the specifics of their implementation in Germany. It focuses on both the core of scholar criticism and the students' insight on the subject. The analysed period is bordered by the signing of the Bologna declaration in 1999 and by the year 2010, which was originally meant to be the last year of the reform process. Some academicians saw the Bologna Process as an instrument for the commercialization of higher education and a deviation from the model of W. v. Humboldt. The majority however pointed out the erroneous implementation of reforms and misapprehension of the original goals. Similar stances were also adopted by students. New bachelor's programmes were mostly criticized for their unsuitable conception and low quotas for student admission to master's programmes. At the same time, students stressed...
