In line with the qualities of today's postmodern society, the idea of inclusion has been one of the changes, but has been evolving only at a theoretical level so far. Inclusive education is clearly a solution for pupils with intellectual disability which …

Ideas of Czech primary school pupils about intellectual disability
In the former Czechoslovakia during the communist dictatorship (1948–1989), the right for adequate education was largely denied to people with intellectual disability (ID). However, since the first decade of the 21st century, the Czech education system has gradually shifted from the strategy of segregation to inclusion of all pupils (including those with ID) into common primary schools. Nonetheless, for the successful implementation of inclusion at the system level, it is desirable to know, how pupils withou…

Žáci-cizinci ve školní třídě
Přestěhování se z rodné země do jiné, v některých případech velmi geograficky vzdálené, přináší řadu aspektů, které jsou majoritní populaci neznámé a často jen těžko představitelné. Děti, které tento proces podstupují, mnohdy trpí vytržením z jejich sociálního zázemí, vzdalují se od širší rodiny, od přátel a kamarádů, dostávají se do prostředí, ve kterém se zpočátku jen velmi těžce orientují, navíc se musí naučit jazyk hostitelské …

Vnímání lokální demokracie očima českých starostů

Our focus here is on two types of democracies that are seen as alternatives: participatory democracy and representative democracy. For the analyses, two mutually interleaved data sources concerning the Czech mayors were employed: Political Leaders in European Cities (2…

Selective pronatalism in childcare and reproductive health policies in Czechoslovakia
The paper discusses how selective pronatalism has been incorporated into childcare and reproductive health policies in the socialist state of Czechoslovakia (1948–1989). It answers the question of how pronatalist framing has been used to categorise ‘others’, whose procreation has been deemed undesirable. It pays attention to the ways limitations on women’s bodily and social citizenship were used as a tool of selective pronatalism, as well as how the pronatalist framing was linked to the framing of wome…

(Un)expected exception: validating acquiescent response style factor in the Czech Republic
This study explores the acquiescent response style (ARS) among respondents in the Czech Republic. To analyse ARS, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed and the response style (RS) was modelled as a latent variable. The RS factor in the CFA model must be validated by its relationship to education and age, i.e. proxies of cognitive ability. The two studies presented in this article use large amount of data as all available balanced batteries of items were analysed. In Study 1, the RS factor showed no c…
