Cingrová, Kristýna ; Koura, Petr (advisor) ; Parkan, František (referee)
The thesis deals with the involvement of five pedagogical faculties in the Czech Republic in the Velvet Revolution in 1989. These are the Faculty of Education of Charles University, the Faculty of Education in České Budějovice, the Faculty of Education in Hradec Králové, the Faculty of Education in Pilsen and the Faculty of Education in Ústí nad Labem. The focus is mainly on the activities of students after the events at Národní třída on 17 November 1989, such as the announcement of a student strike, the establishment of strike committees and the beginnings of student self-government. However, attention is also paid to the atmosphere at the faculties during the 1980s and the activities in which students were involved during this period.

Řiháčková, Nela ; Kohoutek, Jan (advisor) ; Veselý, Arnošt (referee)
Diploma thesis examines the preparation of students of pedagogical study programmes for teaching in inclusive classrooms during their undergraduate studies. In the Czech social and public policy discourse there is a visible growth of the value of inclusive education. Inclusive principles have been incorporated into Czech education with the amendment of the Education Act in 2015 (Act No. 82/2015). However, the current methods of undergraduate teacher education students' preparation for inclusive education are reflected minimally in the relevant research literature in the Czech Republic (e.g. Stará, 2015). Faculties of education then carry a significant degree of responsibility for ensuring sufficient and high-quality preparation of future teachers, who have the uneasy task of managing the inclusive education right at the level of the classrooms with a very heterogenous group of pupils. Teachers are expected to ensure the individualisation of teaching and to be competent in pedagogical diagnosis. This paper, using a qualitative case study of the Education for Primary School Grade 1 programme at the Faculty of Education, Charles University, will help to examine the current form of study preparation, evaluate its adequacy for the profession, identify problematic areas and suggest ways to improve the...

Mleziva, Jan-Michal ; Voda, Jan (advisor) ; Trojan, Václav (referee)
1 ABSTRACT: The present thesis argues for the necessity of a fundamental change in the professional preparation of primary and secondary school teachers; additionally, it discusses the way the education of future teachers should take. From the perspective of educational management, it proposes concrete measures that should be taken in order to implement the change. The author points out the seriousness of the issue in a broader context on the basis of an analysis of the curricula of faculties of education. The main reason for the change in the professional preparation of teachers is seen in the insufficient reflection of the current needs of the contemporary society, both in the content and form of teacher education. The thesis is divided into four chapters: Contemporary context as a major imperative, The present state of the professional preparation of teachers, The objectives of the professional preparation of teachers in the contemporary context, and The main steps towards the realization of the new goals.
