Tyrimo tema - ,,Mokyklos audito rezultatų panaudojimas efektyvinant mokyklos vadybą”. Darbo autorius – edukologijos fakulteto švietimo vadybos ir socialinės psichologijos neakivaizdinio skyriaus studentė Rasa Misiukevičienė. Ilgai pagrindiniu mokyklų vertinimo kriterijumi buvo laikomi moksleivių akademiniai pasiekimai, įstojusiųjų į aukštąsias mokyklas skaičius. Tačiau mokyklos siekiai kur kas platesni nei parengti vaiką universitetui: ugdyti savarankišką, pilietišką, dorą asmenybę. Nuo šiol mokyklos gali įvertinti save pagal Bendrojo lavinimo mokyklos audito metodiką. Vadovaudamasi ja, kiekviena mokykla turi galimybę patikrinti kokybę, suvokti trūkumus, numatyti plėtros perspektyvą. Darbo hipotezė – vidinis auditas atskleid���ia vidinius mokyklos privalumus ir trūkumus. Tikslas - susipažinti su audito metodika ir gautų rezultatų pagrindu išryškinti mokyklos vadybos privalumus ir trūkumus Uždaviniai: • Išsiaiškinti ar auditas yra vienas iš svarbiausių ir patikimiausių informacijos šaltinių. • Įvertinti mokyklos esamą situaciją ir išsiaiškinti privalumus ir trūkumus. Tyrimo metodai: stebėjimas, anketinė apklausa, pokalbis, interviu, dokumentų analizė. Pirmajame skyriuje pristatomi teoriniai tiriamojo darbo pagrindai: audito samprata, klasifikavimas. Antrajame skyriuje apžvelgiamas švietimo įstaigos vertinimas . Trečiajame skyriuje pateikiama vidaus audito, atlikto mokykloje, analizė. Apžvelgtos trys vertinimo sritys: ,,Mokyklos valdymas ir kokybės garantavimas”...

Résumé Students of the 1st grade of four-year-grammar school are not well-informed about contemporary literary life. They think that only books that are currently being published should be classified as literature, knowing only the world bestsellers from all of the books that have actually been published. Students have almost never visited any reading or literary fairs. They know nothing about the various Czech literary awards. Some Czech writers, to them, are no longer relevant, for example Arnošt Lustig or Karel Šiktanc. In their minds, the success of an author is measured by the volume of sales and value of money. The severely marginalized authorial status, by viewing the writer not as a "prophet", but instead as an entertainment producer. People generally prefer special effects which offer immediate gratification, because they don't want to spend the time and concentration it takes to read. As far as the students are concerned, reading is boring and difficult. Czech students aren't tought to see value in reading. This could be the result of the methods which are used at Czech schools - suppressing critical thinking and paying more attention to the acquisition of knowledge. A five day project was created for this vary reason. Activities which could be integrated in the domain of literary life are...

"Education For All" is the goal which the Ministry of Education and Human Resources, in Mauritius, wishes to attain, based on the recommendations of UNESCO. Mauritius urges for quality education, that is, a world-class education in which each Mauritian child should be given the opportunity to reach high educational success. Education must be the privilege of all and not the sole right of a few elites. This study analyses, from an educator‘s point of view, the extent to which Mauritius is proficient in reaching quality education at secondary level. It is mainly based on hypothesis-testing. The research process also includes a case study of the Zone 2, for which a selfadministered questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 90 educators. The study reveals that Mauritius is heading towards a quantified education rather than a quality education. Mass education can be seen as a better rhetoric for its current educational plan. / Sociology / M.A. (Sociology)

The diploma thesis deals with the influence of art education on the development of key competences within the curriculum for the elementary school. The thesis explores the potential of this discipline and the possibility to apply it to the development and strengthening of cognitive functions, self-confidence, social and communication skills in children in the elderly school age. The first theoretical part focuses on the concept of art education and its present currents in relation to both the changing educational content and some of the problems encountered in common school practice. Particular attention is paid to the animo-centric approach to which the author reports, and at the same time he feels the need to define the boundary between developing competencies and solving specific problems of individual pupils or classroom dynamics, between artefiletics and activities that approach their approach to artetherapy. The second part elaborates the findings of in-depth interviews with experts in pedagogy and psychology that describe the experience with artefiletics, artetherapy and pedagogical work in school and their potential to develop key competencies. The aim of the thesis is to investigate and describe the tools of art education in the development of key competences and its ability to prevent and possibly...
