Development of understanding of equality of 2nd and 3rd grade pupils.
Routa, Miroslav ; Jirotková, Darina (advisor) ; Kvaszová, Milena (referee)
The topic of the thesis is the development of understanding of equality in pupils of the 2nd and 3rd year of primary schools. The thesis is based on research conducted within the project Teachers' Understanding of the Causes of School Failure and the Effectiveness of Educational Interventions, in which more than 600 pupils participated. Using the results of the aforementioned research, I will analyse the most common errors and the causes from which the errors may have developed. Thanks to the results from two didactic tests in mathematics in two consecutive years with the same pupils, I can observe where the perception of equality has shifted in one year. My next goal will be to find out, by analyzing textbooks and hypothesizing about the mathematical notations used, whether my conjectures about the reasons for the incorrect solutions are correct. Based on the results of the research, it seems that the choice of textbooks that students use to learn from has a significant impact on their understanding of equality. In order to test this hypothesis, I will conduct a detailed analysis of the textbooks of all publishers used for teaching in the researched classes. A mapping will be carried out of situations in which pupils encounter equations and other tasks that promote understanding of equality. The...

Addressing structural inequality through education access
Davey, Elizabeth ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Ndiaye, Sokhna Adele Rosalie (referee)
Elizabeth Davey Public and Social Policy Master's Thesis Abstract Education has long been perceived to be the key to positive social mobility, but mounting evidence has shown that for many low-income students this may be more of a myth than reality. The Achievement Gap between students of different socio-economic and racial groups remains persistently difficult to eliminate despite decades of efforts geared at school reforms. Recognizing the importance of developing more equitable funding allocation for public education institutions, as well as the general consensus that such a policy is an essential step toward increasing equity in the education system, this paper looks at addressing the problem through a different lens. This thesis develops an index of how cross generational relationships and circumstances play into a child's academic access, and as a result, their academic outcomes. Using this index, this thesis adds to the body of knowledge on the topic and a new perspective to the discourse surrounding equity in education, and educational outcomes by considering how Two-Generation interventions can address these intersections. To complete the triangulation, interviews, and observations with leadership staff, program social workers, and participants of a successful Two- Gen program are used to address...

Gender and Law
Jará, Nikola ; Agha, Petr (advisor) ; Kosek, Jan (referee)
Gender equality, which encompasses the equal treatment of women and men, is a contemporary issue that concerns us all. Unfortunately, it does not receive adequate attention in the legal framework of the Czech Republic. The legal regulations governing equality and equal opportunities remain insufficient, and the Czech Republic lags behind other European countries in this regard. There is a notable lack of interest and concrete efforts to address gender inequality within Czech society. In theory, women, like men, are granted civil and political rights under the law, including the right to equal pay for equal work. However, in practice, significant disparities persist, especially in the labor market and decision-making processes. One way to promote equality in society is through affirmative action. This thesis delves into the theoretical concepts related to gender equality, discrimination, and affirmative action. It also conducts an analysis of existing equality legislation and the state's gender policies. Additionally, the thesis examines key areas where women face disadvantages and discrimination. It takes into account the social factors contributing to persistent inequality, the influence of gender segregation and stereotypes, and the unequal position of women in public life. The objective of this...

Sexual harassment and other forms of harassment at a workplace
Jíchová, Leona ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
Sexual harassment and other forms of harassment at a workplace Abstract This thesis focuses on the issue of sexual harassment and other forms of harassment within the framework of employment relations. It addresses sexual harassment, which can be considered as one of the most serious forms of harassment, as well as a type of discrimination that represents an unwanted, intense and crucial interference in the working life of a harassed person. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the importance of adequate prevention in individual workplaces, the relevance of establishing applicable control mechanisms to ensure compliance with set rules and the inadequacy of the currently provided protection for victims. This thesis proposes possible corrections and tools that should ideally be applied in workplaces and their compliance should be enforced and monitored by state authorities. Moreover, it is gradually supported by related judgements on the matter. The premises and hypotheses are compared with the results of various surveys and studies. The main chapters contain suggestions and considerations aimed at improving the current situation. This thesis is divided into seven chapters. The individual chapters are structured in such a way that the reader first gains a theoretical understanding of the issue and is thus...

Body and Time
Olšáková, Marie ; Kupčíková,, Alena (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
This work is about creating a conceptual sculptural work. The goal was to capture the following motives: individual ways of perceiving time and social pressure on women. My personal motivation for creating was the outrage of the societal pressure which is put on women in their reproductive age. The main part of the sculpture is a clock, which is inserted into a plaster cast in the woman's lap. At the same time, a blue IKB pipe is depicted in the woman's lap. The sculpture is a minimalistic depiction of a woman feeling of the societal pressure. Twice a day there is a moment when the hands of the clock cover the pipe, and the pressure that society exerts on us, women, disappears. These moments convey the message that there is no right time. At the same time, I created triptych relief plates in the background, which repeat the plaster material and the use of the bodies that were imprinted into it. Specifically, it captures three generations of women from my family, three different approaches and three different captures of time.

(Not) equality between women and men in the legal system of the Czech Republic
Zděnek, Jiří ; Kosek, Jan (advisor) ; Chmel, Jan (referee)
v anglickém jazyce This thesis critically examines the current state of gender inequality in the Czech Republic with a focus on work, family life, and politics. The main objective is to identify the causes and consequences of these inequalities, and to evaluate whether and to what extent they are due to natural differences between men and women or to the influence of social constructs. Additionally, the role of law in relation to the redress of gender inequality is explored. The theoretical part of the thesis provides an overview of key concepts and theories related to gender equality and inequality, as well as a discussion of the development of gender equality legislation within international, European, and national law. In the empirical part of the thesis, a comprehensive analysis of various sources, including statistical data and opinion polls, is conducted to provide detailed insights into gender inequality in the Czech Republic. This analysis covers multiple areas, including income disparities, childcare responsibilities, political representation, and vertical and horizontal segregation. Furthermore, the thesis examines the social and cultural factors that significantly influence gender equality, which often fall outside the purview of legal frameworks.

Equal treatment and non-discrimination in employment relations
Malý, Štěpán ; Štangová, Věra (advisor) ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the principle of equal treatment and non-discrimination in employment relations, with the aim of summarising current issues in this area together with examples from practice, particularly in the context of CJEU decisions. The author also attempts to provide suggestions on how to improve the situation and to summarise the legislation that is applicable in such cases. The first part of the diploma thesis deals with the definition of terms related to the issue and used in the thesis. These are mainly the concepts of equality, discrimination, harassment or mobbing and bossing. Of course, the thesis also includes legal regulations, including Czech, European and international law. The core of the thesis is the analysis of the discriminatory grounds themselves, with the main part devoted to discrimination on the basis of gender and race, ethnic origin and nationality. In the context of gender discrimination, in addition to unequal pay or transgender issues, attention is also paid to sports, where the author emphasises that even in the case of seemingly unequal pay, such treatment can be objectively fair. In the context of discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnic origin and nationality, the central part of this chapter was devoted to discrimination against the Roma...
