BOSZCZYKOVÁ, Iva
This master thesis examines challenges of intercultural and multilingual team collaboration using the example of Christian non-profit organization - Křesťanská Akademie Mladých (KAM). Qualitative guided interviews with its American workers were used to collect data that provided information on various aspects of intercultural and multilingual team collaboration such as challenges, communication, multilingualism and interculturality in the organization. Subsequently, a qualitative content analysis was used to evaluate the data, which led to conclusion that one of the biggest challenges for the American staff of this organization is the Czech language.

Persistence of gamers when faced with failure
KYSLÍK, Filip
Alongside gaming topic recently emerges a so-called gaming paradox, which describes a situation when players persist in gaming even though they are facing failures. This work then assumes, that the reason lays in players themselves, who are persistent in first place, and thus this persistence could be observed even outside the videogame environment. The aim of this thesis is to present a research design and thus all the necessarily instruments, that can be used to measure such possible persistence. The first part of the thesis introduces existing concepts of persistence, and also presents several gaming situations, where persistence is required. The second part presents a detailed research design, that allows measuring persistence among different groups of participants. For this purpose, a special instrument (computer-administrated application called ART) was created in order to measure persistence in it's performance-based form, and of which Czech version had not existed up to this point. The main outcome of this thesis is thus not only the pretty much complete research design but also a unique Czech version of ART application for measuring persistence and whose possible future utilization is not even solely bind just to this specific work.

Impact of capitation grant on pupils’ enrollment in Ghana, a case study of selected junior high schools in Wa municipality
Aidoo, Kelly Addo
This study provides an assessment of how capitation grant has impacted the enrollment of pupils in selected basic education schools in the Wa Municipality in Ghana. In a real sense it provides an empirical platform for assessing how this policy is contributing to the achievement of the MDG II, and the constitutional right. The key educational indicators which form the basis of the study are gross enrolment at the Junior High school stage, the pass rates for the national examinations at the Junior High school level. It used a survey to assess the opinion of Municipal Education Director, head teachers, teachers and other stakeholders of education regarding the impact of the capitation grant policy on pupils’ enrolment in the municipality. Using the school level data over the period 2000-2012 and the survey of (43) respondents within 14 selected schools captured questions of staff demographics, capitation grant and pupils’ enrolment, capitation grant, and pupils’ performance and capitation grant and its challenges across the Wa Municipality. The finding of the study revealed that the capitation grant has actually led to increase in enrolment of pupils in the basic schools. This paper also reveals that capitation grant has helped in bridging gap between children from poor and rich homes. The study concludes by noting three key policy messages; increase in capitation grant should target disadvantage groups. Again, there should be provision of incentives to schools with good record of progression and completion and effort should go towards the shortening of the capitation grant delivery chain. However, the study notes the fact that, capitation grant alone cannot deliver on good educational outcomes as enshrined in the constitution.
