Mašková, Karolína ; Skutil, Martin (advisor) ; Kaščák, Ondrej (referee)
(in English): There are many attitudes towards inclusive education in society today, which are unfortunately in many cases based on unverified sources. Because of a misunderstanding of the term, people overlook its core values, which we all strive for in our hearts, namely to create a society that respects differences, in which everyone has the opportunity to develop their potential and foster quality relationships. In this thesis, space is devoted to the definition of the concept of inclusion and its theoretical foundations. The inclusive school is characterized including the cause and strategies for its implementation. Possible obstacles to this process are mentioned. Space is devoted to the attitudes of the pedagogical and non-educational environment, especially the presence of fears of inclusion. The research focuses on inclusive education strategies in selected European countries, looking at whether the vision of inclusion in education is being achieved and through what methods.

The problem of children from socially excluded locations who do not succeed at school or have a problem with learning is an increasingly common problem in many countries around the world.

In this diploma thesis, I will deal with the causes of the inability of children from socially excluded locations to study and how these problems can be solved. The aim of the thesis is to identify obstacles and causes preventing the development of pupils from socially excluded locations in education and gaining employment on the labor market.

Nomads of Educational System. Multiple Case Study of School Mobility of Pupils
Vyhnálek, Jan ; Dvořák, Dominik (advisor) ; Hlaďo, Petr (referee) ; Kaščák, Ondrej (referee)
Nomads of Educational System Multiple Case Study of School Mobility of Pupils Jan Vyhnálek Abstract The thesis explores school mobility - "students making nonpromotional school changes" (Rumberger, 2003), in the Czech Republic through qualitative multiple case study. It begins with a review of the most significant empirical studies in school mobility (1991-2016), highlighting a gap in research into the causes and processes of pupils' transitions and the need for qualitative research. To contribute to filling this gap, two cases of transfers following the transition from primary to lower secondary school and one case of attempts to integrate a child with cerebral palsy into mainstream schooling were explored as a "social and relational construction" (Zamora & Moforte, 2013, p. 59). The core of the thesis is an analysis of data based on in-depth, semi-structured interviews conducted with parents, pupils, teachers, school principals and external experts, field notes and documents providing three analytical narrations of these transitions. Rich use of data segments allows naturalistic generalisation. The analysis features the role of communication between school and family, the role of engaged parents, school tracking, school climate, social stigmatization of pupils and families, and stress on academic outcomes...
