Beránková, Kateřina ; Blažková, Veronika (advisor) ; Richterová, Magdalena (referee)
As the title suggests, this bachelor's thesis is devoted to the choice of a teaching profession. It aims to find out why people decide to become teachers, what leads them to this decision and whether they regret their decision. Three research questions are set out and answers are sought through a research investigation. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part attempts to give the reader an insight into the issue and describes the starting points that are crucial for the practical part. The practical part is devoted to the research investigation. A qualitative approach was chosen, specifically the in-depth interview method. A total of six interviews were conducted with current teachers. Based on the data obtained from the interviews, the research questions were answered. The results of the research investigation are quite clear. Teachers do not perceive their profession as prestigious. They see room for improvement mainly in financial evaluation and the view of the public. Despite the perception that their profession is not prestigious, teachers are satisfied with their career.

ZABRONSKÁ, Alena
The thesis will seek to answer the question of how the feminisation of primary and secondary education from the 1970s to the 1980s was reflected in public and professional debates. In the introduction of the thesis I will describe the phenomenon of feminisation of education in the historical perspective of the Czech environment. In particular, I will focus on what views and ideas prevailed about the feminisation of education under socialism. The aim of my thesis is to answer the following questions: "How big a problem was the feminisation of education considered to be?", "To what extent was the question of whether feminisation had an impact on the development and behaviour of pupils reflected in contemporary discussions?", "What arguments were used in these discussions?", "To what extent was the increase in the number of women among teachers considered part of women's emancipation in contemporary discussions?". In this thesis I will mainly rely on contemporary journals, from which I will analyse individual interviews and articles mentioning the feminisation of education. I will also rely on professional literature that looks at the issue from multiple angles and records its development in the Czech education environment in detail.
