Pražák, Daniel ; Dvořák, Dominik (advisor) ; Pol, Milan (referee) ; Michek, Stanislav (referee)
In recent years, there has been a great expansion of school networking in foreign education systems, but this approach appears less often in the Czech environment. This dissertation presents a case study that analyses the interaction of schools cooperating with the Gymnasium Přírodní škola through the concept of networking. The main sources of data are interviews with actors, school documents and field notes of the researcher. The study describes the mutual influence and sharing of elements of the innovative model between the schools involved in this network. Special attention is paid to the factors that facilitate or hinder effective networking and innovation sharing, as well as the role of principals, teachers and student involvement as active agents of change. The work thus connects previous research knowledge with the unique Czech context, which enriches the professional literature on networking of educational institutions. The results offer insight into the dynamics and challenges associated with creating effective educational networks and bring support for innovation in education through networking. KEYWORDS school networking, innovative educational models, inter-organizational collaboration, inter- organizational learning, school leadership, secondary education, students as actors, case...

Role of school inspection and internal evaluation of schools in the process of school development
Rozkovcová, Andrea ; Rýdl, Karel (advisor) ; Pol, Milan (referee) ; Polechová, Pavla (referee)
Hlavním tématem disertační práce je vyvažování vnějšího a vnitřního hodnocení ve školách. Možnost nebo dokonce nutnost postupného přechodu akcentace vnějšího hodnocení k důrazu na vnitřní hodnocení školy je dána již tím, že škola tak dostane šanci stále se zlepšovat na základě svých vlastních zkušeností. Bude se moci zlepšovat kontinuálně a nebude muset čekat na výsledky vnější inspekce. Škola bude moci rychleji reagovat na změny všeho druhu (ve vědě, společnosti, legislativě). Škola chce být lepší a pedagogičtí odborníci jí k tomu dávají prostor - zhodnoťte se a přijměte opatření ke svému zlepšení. V souvislosti s tímto výrazným a žádoucím posunem škol k sebehodnocení je poměrně přirozené, že se také bude postupně měnit role české školní inspekce. Jakým způsobem, to se ukáže buď v přirozeném běhu praxe nebo se lze zamýšlet nad urychlením změn. To by se mělo dít a také se tak děje pomocí zvažování různých alternativ a jejich případném vyzkoušení v praxi (projekty Kvalita I a Pilot 111). Když se nový přístup ukáže jako výhodný, lze jej použít obecně. Pokud nikoli, můžeme se vyhnout tomu, abychom jisté přístupy použili cele a pak zjistili, že nejsou přínosné.
