History and present of primary school in Karlštejn
No full textThis thesis explores the historical development of the elementary school in Karlštejn. It is historical in nature and divided into two parts. The goal of the theoretical part is to map the history of the primary school in Karlštejn. To facilitate an understanding of the connections between various pieces of information, the work also presents the history of the Karlštejn community, the region, and the legislative development of education in our territory. Given that the school in Karlštejn has been, and remains, a school with a small number of classes, the author considered it essential to include the history of small-class schools and their characteristics. Moreover, the theoretical part examines more closely the criteria selected by the author based on their frequency and the quality of records in chronicles. The author gathered all information from school and municipal chronicles that have been preserved and are stored in the State District Archive in Beroun, as well as from literature that has been published on these topics. The theoretical part supports the practical part, which is conducted as qualitative research based on the method of oral history. This includes interviews with former students, whose memories and subjective views help to paint a complete picture of the school's history. The..
The ethics of choosing not to use the Internet : A comparative case study of the education and healthcare sectors in Slovakia and Sweden
No full textIn this chapter, we discuss the ethics of choosing not to use the Internet, despite both having full access and being fully competent to do so. Our investigation consists of a comparative case study of the current situations in Slovakia and Sweden, two European Union (EU) countries that inhabit opposite ends on a European spectrum of societal digitalisation. We begin by grounding our discussion in the weight that the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ascribe to education and healthcare, as a means of establishing the inherent ethical value of universal access to these two sectors. Next, we elucidate three ethical arguments that all support the general choice to not use the Internet. Then, we provide a brief overview of the state of digitalisation in Slovak and Swedish education and healthcare, respectively, before applying the three arguments to these specific, real-world cases. We end by concluding with some general ethical reflections on the various sorts of everyday situations that increasingly require individuals to use the Internet, regardless whether they prefer not to.CC BY-NC-ND 4.0© 2025 selection and editorial matter, Dariusz Kloza, Elżbieta Kużelewska, Eva Lievens and Valerie Verdoodt.Routledge Taylor & Francis GroupOA Funder: National Science Foundation</p

History and present of primary school in Karlštejn
No full textTato diplomová práce se zabývá historickým vývojem základní školy v Karlštejně. Práce je historického charakteru a je rozdělena do dvou částí. Cílem teoretické části je zmapování historie primární školy v Karlštejně. Pro chápání souvislostí mezi různými informacemi je v práci uvedena také historie obce Karlštejna, regionu a legislativní vývoj školství na našem území. Jelikož škola v Karlštejně byla, a doposud je, školou málotřídní, považovala autorka za nezbytné uvést v práci současně historii málotřídních škol a jejich specifika. Dále se pak teoretická část věnuje bližšímu zkoumání kritérií, které autorka vybrala na základě jejich četnosti a kvality záznamů v kronikách. Veškeré informace autorka čerpala ze školních a obecních kronik, které byly dochovány a jsou uloženy ve Státním okresním archivu v Berouně, a současně z literatury, jež byla k daným tématům vydána. O teoretickou část se pak opírá část praktická, jež je vedena formou kvalitativního výzkumu a vychází z metody orální historie. Součástí praktické části jsou rozhovory s bývalými žáky, jejichž vzpomínky a subjektivní názory pomohou dokreslit celou historii školy. Záměrně je výběr respondentů rozdělen do různých generací. Autorčiným záměrem bylo, aby se vždy dva respondenti setkali ve škole v jednom období a bylo tak možné porovnat jejich...This thesis explores the historical development of the elementary school in Karlštejn.
