Zemková, Jana ; Váňová, Růžena (advisor) ; Valenta, Josef (referee)
I write about the life story of Jan Uher (1891-1942), his pedagogic influence and his pedagogic heritage in my thesis. In the biographic part I describe the background of Jan Uher's childhood, the era of his secondary and University studies, the beginning of his career as a teacher and his activities in different social organizations (e.g. Sokol, YMCA,...). I also mention his travels abroad and other employments at Universities of Prague, Brno and Bratislava. And I can't leave out his engagement in fighting against the Nazism. In the second part of my thesis I focus on Jan Uher's pedagogic heritage. I describe the situation of the Czechoslovakian education in the years of "the first republic" and the reformative efforts of its educators' generation, especially Jan Uher's concepts. I also supply the list of his work published up to 1942 and introduce his pieces: The problems of discipline, The principles of American education, Secondary student and his world and The philosophy of national education.
