Eliška Urbanová, abstract of thesis: Pupil participation as a way of education for democratic citizenship. Obstacles of its development and their successful overcoming. Abstract The curricular documents of many democratic states, including the Czech Republic, require schools to develop pupils' competences for democratic culture. The results of the international comparative research show that Czech pupils are above the average at the level of knowledge, but below the average in the area of skills and attitudes. Because skill and attitude component can be strengthened by pupil participation, its implementation in Czech schools probably fails to be effective. The purpose of this thesis is to detect possible obstacles in the implementation of pupil participation at the level of school culture and at the level of structure of schools and education system, and examine what can help overcome these obstacles. Methods: The research was carried out in the form of a multiple holistic case study of three schools that have extensive experience with pupil participation. In-depth interviews with thirty teachers and the study of school documents took place. Results: Teachers play a key role in how well the participation will be realized, because without their support most students will not be able to participate...

Bednaříková, Barbora ; Voda, Jan (advisor) ; Svoboda, Petr (referee)
Innovation and change are phenomenons any time. Within the scope of the Theory and Prac- tice of School Management module, the theses deals with management of a specific change, namely introduction of school uniforms into practice. The theoretical part of the thesis is based on relevant specialized literature on school management, marketing strategy, school culture and change management. It is completed with available foreign experience and con- clusions of surveys and research of media image, which is playing an important role in respect with the issue. The practical part, i.e. research, provides information and data obtained by the author from interviews with management of schools currently introducing school uniforms. The research results show that the original expectations have not been met in any of the pro- jects included. Understanding the cause of this failure, or else, partial success of the projects, constitutes an important part of the information summary designed for school headmasters considering introduction of school uniforms. The generalized research findings combined with theoretical knowledge imply a set of key recommendations introduced in the thesis con- clusion.

The question was if it is necessary to involve employees in the process or leave this difficult task on a director.

The goal of the project was to verify specific cases (in the specific conditions) by using general methods...
