AUTHOR: Miroslava Chottová DEPARTMENT: Centre for Education Management SUPERVISOR: Doc. Jaroslav Kalous, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: The main subject of this dissertation is process of evaluation of directors at elementary schools and kindergartens by municipal founders in region of Pilsen and matters related to it. The content is based on specialized literature, results of questionnaire research done with the municipal founders and also the directors of elementary schools and kindergartens, and practical experience. The partial objective of this work is to confirm or alternatively disprove hypotheses regarding the evaluation of the directors at elementary schools and kindergartens by municipal founders (evaluation according to criteria, evaluation as a motivational factor), based on mapping the methods of assessment of the directors and the criteria currently applied by the founders. The main objective of this work is to process a sample for methodical evaluating procedure including a sample set of evaluating criteria, based on findings in the specialized literature and questionnaire research, and own experience. The methodical procedure...

The thesis ,,Preparing and implementation of the evaluation system of employees in an enterprise" follows the question of evaluation of the employees in a specific enterprise -- HC electronics, s.r.o.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Leidiany Cristina da Silva.pdf: 1113662 bytes, checksum: b81d8b935f301e8dfc65b235d5afe7f0 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-05-10 / This work is comprised of two studies. The first one (Study 1) aimed at investigating psychology school books directed to teachers. The objective was analyzing whether the teaching proposals of radical behaviorism were precisely described in the books, and what kind of behavior analysts bibliographical production was used as the basis for the teaching descriptions. Three books were analyzed. Each book was analyzed as regards three aspects: references to Skinner s works, references to the works of other behavior analysts and the descriptive texts about the radical behaviorism approach s on teaching. All kinds of references were analyzed direct and/or indirect quotes and/or final bibliographies. It was observed that the three books had at least one reference to works by behavior analysts. When it was observed the largest number of references to behavior analysts works, there was also a sounder and more up to date theoretical-conceptual description about the radical behaviorism approach. Two books used a small number of references, when compared to the number of references used in the description of other approaches, which indicates little familiarity with the works of behavior analysts. The analysis of the radical behaviorism s approach on teaching has considered five dimensions about skinnerian approach on the subject (what is to teach?, the teacher s role, how to teach, what to teach), and also critics on the skinnerian approach. It was found that being an expert on the approach could be related to producing more complete descriptions as well as exploring the inter-relationships between the different subject matters worked upon. The Study 2 was proposed in order to identify criteria for publishing books as well as understanding the reasons behind the imprecisions. In order to identify the criteria, this Study was based upon the literature, in the criteria for the evaluation of graduate programs, in interviews with professionals involved in books editoring, and with the authors of the books analyzed on Study 1. It was possible to systematize eight criteria for school books' evaluation: the work as the product of graduate programs; the book as a product of inter-institutionality; the peer evaluation; the author s compromise with the discussion and reformulation asked by the evaluator; the potential impact; the novelty in the field; conceptual precision; applicability of the skinnerian concepts in the learning situation. In order to apply the criteria, two of the books cited on Study 1 were selected, and their authors were interviewed. The book 1 has complied five of the criteria, and the book 2 has complied two of them. The main criterion that was identified was the theoretical-conceptual precision. Given the imprecisions cited in the Study 1, it can be concluded that some of these books and their responsibles have not considered the most fundamental aspect to publishing a book. It is discussed some actions that could revert this negligence with the description of the approach / O presente trabalho realizou dois estudos. O Estudo 1 teve como objetivo investigar livros didáticos de psicologia dirigidos a professores. Buscou-se analisar se a proposta de ensino do behaviorismo radical foi precisamente descrita nos livros e que material bibliográfico de analistas do comportamento foi utilizado como suporte para as descrições de ensino. Foram analisados três livros. Buscou-se em cada livro informações com base em três fontes: referências às obras de Skinner, referências às obras de outros analistas do comportamento e textos descritivos da abordagem sobre o ensino. Analisaram-se todos os tipos de referência - citações diretas e/ou indiretas e/ou bibliografia ao final do texto. Constatou-se que os três livros utilizaram, pelo menos, uma referência a obras de analistas do comportamento. Quando ocorreu maior número de referências de analistas do comportamento, também houve uma descrição teórico-conceitual mais fundamentada e atualizada sobre a abordagem. Dois livros utilizaram número reduzido de referências, comparativamente ao número de referências utilizadas na descrição de outras abordagens, indicando pouca familiaridade com a publicação de analistas do comportamento. A análise da descrição da abordagem considerou cinco dimensões sobre a visão skinneriana de ensino (o que é ensinar, o papel do professor, como ensinar, o que ensinar e para que ensinar) e críticas sobre a abordagem. Constatou-se que ser especialista na abordagem produziu descrições mais completas e inter relação entre os diferentes aspectos abordados. O Estudo 2 foi proposto para identificar critérios para publicação de livros e compreender as razões de imprecisões. Para a identificação dos critérios, este Estudo baseou-se: na literatura, nos critérios de avaliação de programas de pós-graduação, em entrevistas realizadas com diferentes profissionais envolvidos na editoração de livros e com os envolvidos na autoria dos livros analisados no Estudo 1. Foi possível sistematizar oito critérios de avaliação de livros didáticos: obra como produto de programas de pós-graduação; o livro como um produto da interinstitucionalidade; a avaliação por pares; o compromisso do autor - pesquisador com a discussão e a reformulação solicitada no parecer; a potencialidade de impacto; novidade da publicação sobre o tema; a precisão conceitual; aplicabilidade dos conceitos (abordagem) na situação de ensino. Considerou-se para aplicação dos critérios identificados dois dos livros analisados no Estudo 1,cujos autores foram entrevistados. O livro 1 atendeu a cinco dos critérios e o livro 2 a dois. O critério principal identificado foi a precisão teórico-conceitual. Dadas as imprecisões arroladas no Estudo 1, pode-se concluir que alguns destes Livros e seus responsáveis desconsideraram o critério mais fundamental para publicação. Discutem-se ações que revertam essa negligência com a descrição da abordagem

<p>Project evaluation is concerned with indicators setting and performance tracking along the life of a project. It plays an essential role to the success of any project and therefore demands special attention. At the heart of this process lies a system of criteria one has to take into account when performing the evaluation. Our thesis considers this problem in a particular context, namely New Service Development (NSD) projects. The topic is of our interest because innovation (hence NSD) has become an inherent aspect of service industry while the research dedicated to NSD project evaluation is rather limited. Our thesis aims at understanding the purposes, the process of evaluating NSD projects and pointing out specific criteria included during the evaluation of NSD projects. As a result, the research question pursuing is: ‘What are key Evaluation Criteria for New Service Development projects?’ From the literature review on project evaluation and new service development, our study reveals a list of eight important criteria of evaluation. This consists of three financial criteria: (1) profitability, (2) production cost, (3) return on investment; and five non-financial criteria: (4) strategic fit, (5) marketing criteria, (6) corporate social responsibilities, (7) information quality, and (8) facilitating factors. From empirical perspective, qualitative approach is applied to collect data through three case studies and a series of semi-structured interviews with seventeen respondents in Albania, Italy, Sweden and Vietnam, from companies offering various types of service. The case studies build comprehensive understanding on the process of new service development, of project evaluation for NSD whereas interviews check the transferability of the three cases and identify evaluation criteria employed in practice. The empirical results were analyzed in comparison with the arguments found from literature. Regarding the research question, the study found that the set of evaluation criteria collected from empirical study fits with the list of eight criteria proposed by literature. Among this set, two main criteria ‘strategic fit’ (4) and ‘customer satisfaction’ which is apart of ‘marketing criteria’ (5) are recommended as ‘must’ for the evaluation process on any type of NSD project. Findings of this research contribute to the existing knowledge provided by both academic and practitioners regarding both project management field and new service development area, by suggesting a set of key criteria that should be used as guidance in order to succeed with evaluation of NSD projects.</p>

My diploma thesis is focused on the evaluation of headmasters by their school founders. It deals mainly with identifying the ways of evaluation, defining evaluation criteria and the overall approach to the assessment of the quality of headmasters' work. The aim is to create for a school founder an overview of the most commonly used forms of evaluation of headmasters. My work seeks to identify and compare different approaches to evaluation of headmasters by different school founders in the Prague region. My goal is to map and compare which criteria are considered to be crucial in evaluation of headmasters. Firstly, I would like to determine whether school founders have determined criteria for assessment of headmasters; secondly whether these criteria are familiar to headmasters, or whether they are possibly published. Next, I would like to present the schedule in which evaluation of headmasters is carried out and which forms of assessment are considered as motivational. The theoretical part of the work is focused on defining and describing basic concepts which are directly related to the issue regarding evaluation of headmasters. This part of the work is dedicated to theoretical pieces of knowledge concerning methods and possibilities of evaluation, its types, forms and tools. Furthermore, it...

The aim of this thesis is to determine possibilities and real use of project management tools in event management, in sphere built on project bases, but that is also very dynamic and changing even in realisation. The thesis focuses on software support for managing projects and project teams, that are applicable in event management. The research was made for the selection of optimal tool for realization of leasure time, public event Ladronkafest. Selection is based on multi-criteria decision evaluation process, that is implemented after consultation with professionals in event management. The chosen software was tested on some smaller event. During the test users realized some negatives about this program and decided not use it.

This thesis is devoted to market with Corporate performance management (CPM) tools. Due to the fact that the area of CPM tools is extensive, the thesis is focused mainly on financial consolidation. One of the goals of this thesis is to describe process of financial consolidation. There are used various consolidation tools today. Therefore, another goal of this thesis is to describe categories of tools and their basic characteristics.. The goals mentioned above are achieved by examining the available recourses and their subsequent connection to the desired whole which describes the consolidation process and categories of tools. The first part addresses the financial consolidation process, followed by commented research of sources, after which there is the part devoted to possible requirements for consolidation tools. The source of requirements is quoted literature and the own experience from the real project. The second part of this thesis is devoted to practical example in which the criteria for evaluation of consolidation tools are defined. There are evaluated two tools -- tool based on MS Excel and CPM tool Oracle Hyperion. The defined criteria are used to describe the difference between tools and to make overall evaluation. The output of this thesis is set of criteria under which are possible to evaluate tools. Another output of the thesis is performed analysis on selected tools. The main contribution of this thesis is created criteria and the process of creation of weights, followed by demonstration of the use of practical example. The criteria are based on the consolidation process and requirements described in theoretical part of the thesis.
