The article considers the problem of preparing physical education specialists for inclusive education. We investigated the legislative base of inclusive education, scientific and methodical literature on the topic. We came to the conclusion that "inclusive physical education" is a flexible, individualized system of physical education of children with special needs in the conditions of mass education. Physical education teachers are poorly informed about inclusive education, don't understand how they organize physical education work with children with special needs and most believe that inclusive children belong in special schools. The reasons for this attitude are: insufficient training in higher education institutions; imperfect system of forms of work with children with special needs; insufficient information about inclusive education in physical education classes by the administration of the educational institution. The main idea of modernization of the professional training process of physical education and sport specialists is to at least create conditions, allowing students in the educational process of higher education institution to develop innovative ideas in the conditions of inclusion. To develop creative thinking on the implementation of innovative physical education technologies. But at most, the creation of a viable pedagogical system of inclusive education, based on innovative technologies, which would provide a modern quality of training a new type of specialists, who have the knowledge, skills and abilities of an innovative teacher, a teacher-scientist.

Higher education institutions play a fundamental role in the scientific, economic, social, and cultural development of each and every society. In view of new challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of their social responsibility and ability to effectively communicate the socially–responsible activities which are performed is growing. The aim of this article is to analyze and evaluate the scope and structure of socially-responsible activities communicated on the websites of public higher education institutions operating in a small post-communist country where education plays a traditional role—the Czech Republic, and to formulate recommendations for improvement of the level of communication of social responsibility by higher education institutions. Primary data was obtained using latent analysis of the content of the websites of all public higher education institutions operating in the Czech Republic. The CE3SPA method was applied. The survey which was performed shows that the level of communication of social responsibility by higher education institutions in the Czech Republic is low. Activities in the field of economic and social responsibility are communicated in the greatest scope. On the contrary, activities in the field of environmental responsibility are communicated the least. Public higher education institutions in the Czech Republic should therefore apply the measures proposed in the article, these also being transferrable to practice in other countries.

Adequate staffing of university studies with qualified academics was completed thanks to the reimplementation of three-stage university education during the post-socialist restoration of higher education in the Czech Republic. Thus, the doctoral degree of education has been attained by more than four-fifths of academic staff, with over two-fifths of them being aged 50+. The current course of university studies, including doctoral study programs, is influenced by their focus on educational and research strategy. With regards to the regulations for graduating in doctoral studies, doctoral candidates act as homo oeconomicus following neo-liberal educational policy. The conditions for doctoral studies, namely, those in educational sciences, thus lead to paradoxes caused by the current higher educational policy. The objective of the paper is to analyze the neoliberal set-up of the higher education policy of the Czech Republic in the field of doctoral studies in educational sciences in particular and its possible impacts in the area of labor-market integration of graduates and university training of academics.

Taking this into account, the problem of integrating knowledge in higher education acquires significance and has a number of advantages. The university is faced with the task of providing students with a holistic, scientific, flexible system of knowledge, which is modified depending on the profile and purpose of each type of educational institution. One of the most effective ways to achieve this goal is to integrate the content, forms and methods of teaching into the educational process.
