This study describes the contemporary educational methods of Mongolian nomads from chosen sample locations of the Hangai mountains. It has been completed on the basis of three field research trips conducted in these locations. Recordings of guided interviews and notes based upon involved observation serve as the source material for this study. Mongolian culture is at a turning point, as it is influenced by many elements of the world of Western civilization as well as by modern technologies; these latter are becoming a part of the nomad's daily life to an ever greater extent. These elements are revealed through the comparison of past and contemporary educational methods, children's games and the recollections of elder nomads. It also reveals itself in the comparison of past and contemporary educational institutions. Nevertheless, traditional culture and certain aspects of ethno pedagogy still remain very much alive. It is largely the elders who regard these traditions with much esteem and try to pass them down to younger generations.

The aim of this thesis is to explore the factors influencing the usage of modern technologies in teaching Mathematics. Modern technologies have been gradually earning their place in Czech schooling for a while now, but they are not always used in the way we might expect. To address such a question, upon consulting various literary sources, this thesis presents a model of factors which influence the usage of technologies in teaching Mathematics and aims to answer the following questions. What factors influence the intended usage of technologies in teaching Mathematics? How do these factors influence the intended usage of technologies in teaching Mathematics? What are the differences between the intended usage and the real usage and what factors influence them? How do these factors influence the real usage in teaching Mathematics? The individual factors have been further explored by a multiple-case study of three Czech Mathematics teachers during their teaching and subsequential interviews. It was the form of a multiple-case study which allowed for deeper observation of the mutual relationships between the individual factors in teachers with very different approaches to teaching and modern technologies. The differences between the considered cases then provided an insight into what could help...
