How Teachers Cope with Social and Educational Transformation

Transformation is a process in which people face significant changes on many levels of their lives in a relatively short time. This thesis is about how teachers cope with social and educational transformation, using the example of their struggle with multicultural education. This struggle is not something that teachers have been able to make a choice about: they were given the task by educational policy. In the case of the Czech Republic the introduction of multicultural education is a direct product of the transformation. The question of how teachers cope with this situation has been the main focus of the thesis.
