Tomáš Řepa — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0200

The article focuses on ethnic removals as the aftermath of the outcome of World War II. The removal of the nations of Eastern Europe, especially Ukrainians and Poles, had irreversibly altered the ethnic circumstances or security situation of many states except Czechoslovakia. The transfers of inhabitants and the transformation of the frontiers where the ethnic collectives originally lived were radical solutions to the severe societal tensions of that period. The article discusses migration movements which in consequence influenced Czechoslovakia.

In mid-fifties helicopters were already an indivisible part of military air forces all over the world. In terms of the Warsaw Pact the army of Soviet Union and subsequently its satellite states got the first helicopters. In 1956 Czechoslovak military air force also received the first Mil Mi-4 helicopters. Since 1959 Mi-1 light helicopters were used for pilots training, however, in early sixties there was a shortage of backup pilots within military units. The only Czechoslovak liaison helicopter regiment did not manage to train its own pilots, much less backup pilots. Therefore, unused military helicopters HC-102 were incorporated into Svazarm aero clubs (Svaz pro spolupráci s armádou - The Union for Cooperation with The Army). Flying with Mi-1 started in 1965. In course of eleven years a huge number of pilots were trained within aeroclubs, which cooperated with military air force, to join the army in case of need. In 1974 the conception of backup pilots training in aeroclubs was re-evaluated and finished. The numerous group of pilots then got occasional trainings at army till early eighties and many of the pilots were finally employed at the police, air force or in civil sector.

Jan Egerle — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0200

The beginning teachers represent the most vulnerable group of the teaching population in the Czech Republic. This text aims to compare Czech strategic documents covering teacher’s induction with the German ones. In contrast to the Czech Republic, Germany has a functional and established system of support for beginning teachers during their induction period. This comparison considers the institutional and legislative framework from the perspective of the existing (German) and draft (Czech) documents. The efforts in the Czech Republic emphasise the importance of a “comprehensive system of professional support from a genuine functional induction” (Strategie 2030+). As an example of German ones, the text examines the strategic and legislative framework
of Referendariat in Bavaria. The text assesses the documents in the following key areas: forms of support, the status and role of the “key stakeholders” (teachers, mentors, responsible persons etc.), the activities and interaction between the key stakeholders.

The article deals with a retrospective analysis of the content of the aesthetic-therapeutic component of the formation of a creative harmonious personality in Ukrainian and Polish pedagogy in the late nineteenth – twentieth century. It is defined the essence of aesthetic therapy as an integrative humanistic technology of activating the emotional sphere of a personality with the aim of providing psychologically comfortable conditions for creative personal fulfi lment. The problem of individual creative and spiritual development of a child by means of aesthetic therapy is highlighted in the views of prominent national humanist-educators (A. Makarenko, Ya. Korczak, S. Rusova, V. Sukhomlynskyi). It is proven that the most characteristic features of Ukrainian and Polish folk pedagogy are high aestheticization, Christian-spiritual and extreme nature-based content, that are fully consistent with the basic postulates of the aesthetic-therapeutic concept of personality formation.
