Nearly seven hundreds of students each year apply for informatics' studies at University of economics, Prague (UEP). At the beginning, each one must complete two courses related to programming - Introduction to Programming and Fundamentals of Software Engineering. Both courses produce a lot of outputs -- simpler home works or more complex semestral projects -- which must be assessed by the teachers. Especially assessment of early home works is laboring and routine which makes it perfect candidate for automation. The goal of this work is to suggest the best suitable way how to implement this automation at UEP. Since mass courses make troubles universities all around the world there is already a lot of existing solutions how to automate evaluation of programming courses. First two chapters summarize the effort to find the most interesting ones and present them to the Czech audience. Because existing solutions are really sophisticated but does not provide white box tests support needed at UEP the rest of this thesis is not about creating own new automatic assessment system but about creating a middleware which can handle the problem mentioned. The middleware called Duckapter makes usage of Java reflection API easier and is downloadable from project website http://code.google.com/p/duckapter. Using them, the teachers can provide white box tests inside the black box (unit) tests which are supported by the most of the current automatic assessment systems.

This diploma thesis deals with the current state of distance education at the 1st stage of primary school (4th and 5th grade) year 2020/2021. The main part presents the management structures of distance education with the implementation of selected online's methods teaching and creation of materials' study (distance learning). These materials are making available to students with the possibility to provide feedbacks in both directions. It also deals with pedagogical and didactic aspects of distance education, including a comparison of differences between distance and full-time teaching (duration: January to June 2020 and September 2020 to May 2021). The empirical part of the thesis was carried out as action research. It compares the period of the beginning of distance learning, March 2020 - FIRST PHASE, with the period from October 2020 - SECOND PHASE. It also compares the performance of two selected students and the impact of distance education on their performance from January 2020 to May 2021. Supporting findings on the issue are substantiate by several methods (questionnaire survey, discussion with students and student results from tests). The conclusion of the thesis includes an evaluation of the teaching process in the first and second phase of distance education, the impact on the student...

The thesis aims to analyze the relationship of the collective memory of an individual and his/her inclusion with the society and eventual ability to generate social capital. This paper evaluates the American federal education system and its interpretation of the historical narrative to the students. The focus of this thesis is the interpretation of historical events in the context of American society, whose structure has changed fundamentally over the past 30 years. Not only society has suffered a significant change, the federal system of student testing and the federal education institutions' funding have been revised too. American society can benefit from it through internal intercourse or, on the contrary, it can become more fragmented if it fails to bring the individual into a contemporary social setting. The work has been defined in time since the Bradley Commission has issued general recommendations to change approach to historical curricula, and then continues to explore the development until 2014. The political changes with the end of the Cold War led to a constant reinterpretation of American history and the secondary the collective identity. In the new millennium and after the year 2014 it has concluded in a discussion about historical education on academic, social and political fields....

The thesis is studying an influence of the reflection on implementing support service in distance for patients dealing with diabetes mellitus. This new type of a service aims to support patients with this chronical illness to achieve and maintain satisfactory compensation of diabetes. Number of the people dealing with diabetes mellitus is increasing every year and there is a permanent development and ongoing modernization in methods of treating this disease. Because the basis of diabetes treatment is regular self-monitoring of patients, the disease offers the possibility of sharing and monitoring the data by another side to provide support in the period between doctor visits. The service described in thesis is based on a distance monitoring of data collected by patients and consists in a regular phone calls between a patient and a service worker that should serve as a support of the patient to achieve and then maintain his individual goals set by his endocrinologist. The objective of the thesis is to managerially implement this new support service in distance into a practice and research the role reflection plays in all the process - whether there exists any reflection, when it appears, how reflection influences the formation and working of the whole service of distance support, and how workers of...

The aim of this thesis is to compare the use of journalists as characters in Czech and US audiovisual industry, primarily cinema. As expected, the work finds that Czech cinema cannot compare with American in volume. Also, different history has led to a completely different position of journalists in culture and popular culture in both regions. The thesis tries to introduce both systems and look for reasons of absence of journalistic characters in Czech cinema. It also examines the way in which cinema is able to communicate at all and what demands can we have on the dialogue between piece of art and us. The thesis deals with the transformation of journalistic profession into genre and archetype in American mainstream cinema. The ambition of the work, which in many respects compares the present with the absence, is to describe the space in which the observed presence and absence take place. The main difficulty in elaborating the topic is the marginal size of the Czech market compared to the American and even more marginal use of the journalist as a prominent figure in it. Therefore, the thesis tries to explain why the situation with the help of professional literature rather than mapping the explicit presence of journalism in narratives of Czech and Czechoslovak films. Since Czech cinema has in many...

The aim of the diploma thesis is to analyse the group reflection Wanda as an effective tool for teachers' professional development. It is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is firstly focused on aspects which influence professional learning. Furthermore, it describes its phases, processes, forms and conditions that teachers currently have.

The study concentrates on possible connection between phenomenological thought of Edmund Husserl and Jean-Paul Sartre by focusing on the way by which each of them frames pre-reflexive self-awareness of consciousness and its role in the process of constitution of the identity of the "Ego" as a subjective pole. Essential motivation derives from the effort of highlighting those moments of Husserl's thinking, which might have been or actually were a source of inspiration for Sartre and the formulation of these concepts in the early stages of his career. Subsequently, the quest is to clarify the scale of this inspiration and to shed some light on the question whether Sartre did not push his constructions over the boundaries of the scientific field set by Husserl. The study also incorporates several of Husserl's works which are in their conclusions tending to go against those presented as a possible source of Sartre's inspiration. That is done in order not to simplify the ambivalence of Husserl's work over the acceptable limit as well as to emphasize the nature of the investigations preferred by Sartre. These investigations lead in his work to the conceptualization of human existence as necessarily free, which is the conclusion of the presented study. Key words: Husserl, Sartre, consciousness,...

Diploma thesis "The Theory of Consociational Democracy and the Development of the Northern Ireland's Conflict" examines the ongoing conflict in Northern Ireland and also the possibility to apply this theory in this particular case.
