Karasová, Anna ; Frombergerová, Anna (advisor) ; Uhmannová, Magdaléna (referee)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the influence of the teachers on the choice of university and profession among students in the last year of grammar school. The goal of this thesis is to find out what role teachers play in students choices about the right university, how they can influence their students in this area and what other factors can influence the choice of students. The answers to these questions were provided by the qualitative research that was carried out for the purpose of this thesis. A questionnaire survey was conducted to select respondents for the interview. From the subsequent interviews, categories were created using thematic analysis. These categories are among the results of this thesis together with additional information from the questionnaire. The main finding of the research is that teachers play a relatively large role in student's choice of universities, despite the fact that their influence is to some extent unconscious among students. The importance for the choice of university and profession is mainly the student's interest, which can be influenced by the characteristics of the teacher and the education style that the given teacher chooses.

Motivation of High School Students for School Work
Fiedlerová, Lucie ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Gillernová, Ilona (referee)
Many secondary school teachers are currently facing students' lack of interest in the subjects taught. Research findings have also repeatedly shown that students' motivation for school work decreases as the length of the studies increases. Furthermore, students' level of motivation reaches a very low level during adolescence despite the fact that many of them make choices regarding their future careers. This thesis focuses on the relation between the motivation of students for school work and the attitudes and skills of teachers - their educational styles, and whether the relationship between students and them is positive or negative. The theoretical part of this paper introduces and describes the above mentioned concepts - educational styles and motivation - or more precisely, what kinds of motivation there are, and how these affect not only the learning process itself, but also the performance, results, and performance goals, all of which are closely linked. The practical part consists of a research investigation focused on verifying the link between students' motivation for school work and the educational styles used by their teachers.
