The aim o f the thesis is to elaborate the methods o f education o f future teachers in the field o f reception and analysis o f media texts (especially o f the printed media). Even if the school subject media education in the Czech republic has been newly introduced (as well as frequently discussed), the present topic did not find a due place in the curricula at the faculties o f education (preparing the teachers for secondary schools, in particular for grammar schools). The media education may be considered either as a particular school subject or as a component o f relative school subjects, e. g. o f mother or foreign language teaching, civics, history etc. Its contents includes a large scale o f topics - media institutions, functioning o f media channels and media market, critical reading o f media texts, analysis o f the forms o f media manipulation and stereotypes, publicity etc. It is mostly this interdisciplinary approach which situates the media education within the wider picture o f a rather complex study o f language acquisition.

Tertiary education institutions, academic community including students, and other stakeholders, e.g. government educational bodies, accrediting organizations, experts, employers and other representatives of the world of labour as well as general public have been recently focusing on accountability for excellent quality. This apparently global Phenomenon has influenced the Czech Republic as well as many other European countries that have to carry out the whole range of changes in traditional conception of school assessment. Various stakeholders in various countries however have their own perspective about institutional effectiveness and accountability. The best respond to their call for the demonstration of institutional effectiveness and accountability is a systematic institutional assessment and evaluation process, indicating how the institution fulfils its mission and goals. But different institutions in different countries have different cultures, characteristic features and missions. Thus it is meaningful to strive for a common understanding of what řccurs on a global basis, aiming at revealing relations through exploiting the knowledge about specific activities in the specific context of a respective country or institution.

The term ARETE originated in Ancient Greece. It refers to intentional state of mind which leads to correct task-performing. Prof. Patočka considered ARETE a classification of free life. It is a certain virtue of man who not only focuses on his life but also tries to build a space for his realization by perceiving the true nature of things and acting in harmony with it. In this sense Heraclitus had already spoken about ARETE and similar conclusions were drawn by taoists in China,too. Education was highly regarded in Ancient Greece. A man could acquire ARETE through education. However, a teacher could not teach in such a way we understand nowadays. The teacher must be rather a tutor who is leading a student up the right path to the good as Socrates used to teach in Athens. It is not about quantity of knowledge but it is important to know fundamental principles, to understand relationships, to know their background. Sport was held in honour of the Gods, it was sacred. A winner of the Olympic Games proved his gratitude to Gods by achieving his success. The origin of the Olympic Games was then entirely based on ARETE. Key words: ARETE, education, sport, harmony, Olympic Games
