Rebcová, Anna ; Novotná, Magdalena (advisor) ; Fulková, Marie (referee)
Preliminary work: Student's professional identity focused on Primary Education in conjunction with personality development are the main topic of the thesis. The author would processed through authors' work called "My Cosmos, Your Cosmos, Our Universe" where she would utilise such methods of the Artographic investigation, by which she would reflect herself, her relationships with people that surround her, among other things it has influence on herself as well as on her path to teaching. In her opinion, the cosmos (or the universe) is closely related to space-time, but mainly to those other metaphorical universes of people around. Another influence could be seen in a fate that could characterise the actual realisation of a set of individual universes itself, which for its ever increasing variety is the same authentic, autonomous universe in which she could see the main purpose.

Medico ergo sum. Construction of symbolic inequalities and boundaries between physicians and healers /and their professional identity
Dostálová, Lenka ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Grygar, Jakub (referee)
My diploma thesis deals with the relationship and more specifically with the boundaries and inequalities between scientific medicine and alternative medicine from the constructionistic and interactionistic point of view. It explores how the boundaries are constructed by the representatives of biomedicine on one side and the representatives of alternative medicine on the other side. This thesis is based on a qualitative research - semi-standardised interviews with members of both systems of medicine. The state and the role of alternative medicine in czech setting is presented to the reader and the construction of boundaries in this context is explored. The thesis shows that the representatives of biomedicine build boundaries mainly based on moral aspects, while the representatives of alternative medicine have larger and more varied repertoire of boundaries. The fact is probably given by structural conditions and the role of alternative medicine - while the representatives of biomedicine "only" want to maintain the status quo, the representatives of alternative medicine struggle to change their situation, which requires bigger effort.

Common features of so called psychosomatic condition are discovered.

Social work as a work managed by professional values
VACHOVÁ, Monika
The identity of social work profession seems to be inconsistent. This is caused by different concept perception within the profession. One way of building greater stability of social work identity can be put the emphasis on the importance of values in the profession and their uniform definition. These two aspects are the main fulfillment of this Diploma thesis, in which the main aim is to reflect the concept of values in social work in relation to the perception and access to the professional identity of social work. The theme of this paper is built by defining the concept of value, which prevents mismatched importance in defining specific values in social work. The theme of following chapters is the role of values and definitions of individual values of social work based on career goals, code of ethics, foreign and Czech authors who write about the ethics of social work. The work is complemented by opinions of social workers who were involved in the research part of the project of Grant Agency of South Bohemian University No. 117/2013/H investigating the concept of quality of social work in relation to social worker´s selfdefining and his helpful professions.

Teachers' professional motivation
BLAHUTOVÁ, Marcela
This thesis aims to study factors that prods teachers to leave their profession or on the contrary to continue in their work. The theoretical part deals with the teachers? motivation for work, the issue of professional development and the professional identity of pedagogues. To understand the factors that influence the motivation of teachers I used two methods: a structured interview and a questionnaire. The practical part of the thesis then includes the evaluation of data obtained through the above-mentioned survey. The study was conducted in the Pilsen Region. Total of 28 teachers currently working in this profession filled out the questionnaires and were then also interviewed. 28 former teachers agreed to participate in the interviews and 26 persons also completed the questionnaire. Based on the information I gathered I can conclude that teachers are motivated for the most part by the creative work with children which allows them to fulfill their own freedom and creativity. Ample free time appears to be another important factor that encourages teachers to continue in their line of work. On the other hand, teachers most frequently leave their profession due to the low salary and considerable psychological strain.
