Klimša, Petr ; Svobodová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Tureckiová, Michaela (referee)
This thesis deals with the subjective perception of well-being among secondary school teachers in Prague. The theoretical part of the thesis first defines the basic concepts related to the topic, namely the definition of the concept of well-being itself, which is viewed from many sources, as it is a very broad term. At the same time, the history of the term, its inclusion in andragogical reality and the topicality of the topic are described. Subsequently, all the areas that fall under this term are described, the ways in which well-being can be measured, but also possible obstacles to well-being are described. Then the theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to the teaching profession and the problematic areas that fall within this profession - demandingness, salary, prestige and others. The practical part focuses on qualitative research, in which data and opinions of individual teachers on their subjective perception of well-being, their current state, possible obstacles they perceive and what they perceive as key to their own well-being are collected through semi-structured interviews; at the same time, some additional questions are answered to reveal the relationships between different areas and well-being itself.

Votický, Petr ; Duschinská, Karolina (advisor) ; High, Radka (referee)
The diploma thesis analyzes the level of some communication methods of teachers at the second level of elementary school, which should lead to improved and more balanced mutual communication. The essence and goal of the work is to examine the presence of dialogic teaching of selected teachers. The work will offer an interesting comparison of theories with real findings. In the theoretical part, I describe and reflect on the use of communication forms using elements of dialogic teaching. I introduce and explain the elements that, according to the expert, lead to stimulation, engagement of students' thinking, which influence their learning and understanding. Dialogic teaching differs from the classic IRF structure in the teacher-student approach using question work and feedback in the learning process. I am looking for some answers to the questions of what communication factors influence student learning through teacher communication. I describe theoretical principles, selected examples, methods and their subsequent results when used in practice or research. At the same time, I present the advantages and reasons for use. In the practical part, through qualitative research, I analyze audio recordings from classes and interviews with teachers and students. I distinguished between open and closed...
