Presented study sheds light on the developments of political representation at municipal level and tries to identify the sources of its fragmentation. These sources are vested in electoral laws, in development of national party system and in public distrust towards partisan candidates including changes in decision-making dynamics of the electorate. All mentioned factors shape the popular preference to support independent candidates in achieving municipal offices. This phenomenon gained on intensity between 2002 and 2018. The trend of ever-increasing support for civic and non-partisan candidates also introduces practical implications and risks in terms of lacking effective governing, transparency and of municipal policy control. Factors such as: non-existence of integrative organizational basis for political decision making, low levels of civic skills or elusive ownership structure of regional media. Most importantly, it is the inability of established political parties to maintain the functionality of democratic institutions in terms of public administration. All these factors increase the risks of decision-making at municipal level. Such development is part of deepening crisis of trust in political parties and leads to risks of forming a defect democracy.

Every individual’s knowledge is based on a semantic network that connects individual concepts into branching mental concepts. The submitted study deals with mental representation of curriculum content in students through conceptual mapping in teaching. Visualisation of students’ internal systems of knowledge supports learning with comprehension and prevents mechanical teaching. The variable researched here was how students’ sex influenced the resulting mental representation illustrated through their conceptual map...

The study examines the relationship of trust and communication in adolescents and their parents in divorced families. Attention is focused on the comparison of these factors in families with sole and shared custody. The research sample consisted of (N = 76, sole custody N = 48, joint custody N = 28, AM = 11.5). In order to find out the openness in communication (Hargašová, Kollárik, 1986), emotional attachment to parents (Armsden, Greenberg, 1987). Administration and anamnestic data were obtained in counseling-psychological centers with the full consent of parents. In shared care there is a positive, truthful and open relationship towards both parents.

The results of education process are not dependent only on methods and forms used by teachers but also on environment where students work. School culture is a topic that requires systematic attention. Different literature describes different types of school culture. The author describes them and also compares them from the point of contribution to school reality. School culture is not a problem that does not deal with other aspects, it also functions externally. School culture is very important part of school image, it consists of various aspects, e.g. pedagogical and didactical activities, organizational activities, school presentation, school routing. These basic aspects are analyzed in the relation to basic areas and also with the relation to school types.. These are the main ideas the author stresses in his paper.
