Vliv multikulturality na využití vzdělávacích metod ve výuce

The thesis examines the impact of a multicultural environment on the selection and use of teaching methods in economics classes at secondary schools. The aim of the thesis is to determine how linguistic and cultural diversity in classrooms influences teachers’ pedagogical practices and to what extent this is reflected in their teaching methods. The theoretical section addresses the issues of multicultural education, multicultural pedagogy, and the specifics of teaching in culturally diverse classrooms, with a focus on language barriers, the use of technical terminology, and appropriate teaching methods. The empirical section is based on a combination of classroom observations, interviews with teachers at international and Czech secondary schools, and a questionnaire survey among teachers at business academies. The results highlight differences between teaching at international schools and in the Czech context and demonstrate that the impact of multiculturalism on teaching is significantly influenced by school conditions. In conclusion, the thesis offers recommendations for pedagogical practice based on observed best practices, which are also applicable to the teaching of economics courses at Czech secondary schools.
