C. V. described

      I graduated with Magister degree (an equivalent to Master of Education, M.Ed.) from the Charles University, Prague, in 1968. The two last years of my study I spent already working as a Technical Assistant at the Department of Anatomy and Biomechanics. My specialization was in quantitative research methodology and educational theory. I also attended some selected external courses in statistics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, general biology and anthropology  at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, and in mathematical economy at the Prague University of Economics.  Then, in 1969 I subscribed to one-year  postgraduate course at the Faculty of Philosophy  passing subjects as history of philosophy, general psychology, and  philosophy of science. Then I also passed further one-year external postgraduate course in probability/statistics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.

     After having completed my rather interdisciplinary preparation, all  the time stressing quantitative methodology, I defended my  dissertation "A comparison and generalization of factor analytic models and their application to the structure of motor abilities" in 1974 . My supervisor and the main reviewer were from the Department of Mathematical Statistics and Probability Theory.

      I worked as a Junior Research in 1968, Researcher 1969 - 1974, and Researcher-specialist 1974 - 1976, at the Department of Anthropomotorics, Biomechanics and Anatomy (renamed at that time).

      In 1976 I changed to the position of Assistant Professor at the  Department of Theory and Methodology. In  1979  I defended the s.-c. habilitation thesis "Statistical models  with latent variables in educational research  and management" and was installed Associated Professor of Education (Docent).      In 1989 I defended the thesis "Theory of application of statistical methods in social sciences" for the higher doctorate degree Doctor of Science, Dr.Sc.^**), and in 1992 became a Full Rank Professor.

     While teaching mostly at the Department of Theory and Methodology, Charles University,  I was carrying out my research mainly at the Division of Mathematical Methods and Experimental Techniques, Institute of Psychology,  Academy of Sciences at that time - I used to be the Acting Head of the Division since 1982  till 1990. After accepting the position of Vice-Dean for Research  since January 1990  I still consulted to the Institute of Psychology till 1994 when I was installed Vice Rector of the Charles University.

     Since 1998  I am fully back to the Division of Research Methodology involved mostly in PhD students teaching and supervizing, Doctoral Council management, and other academic topics. After finishing my academic term at the rectorate and in the administration of Charles University my former series of shorter  teaching involvements at univiersities abroad culminated in 2001 when I spent a full academic year in the USA as a Visiting Professor of Psychological Statistics at the Department of Psychology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT, USA.

     In my 58 I am in great health, activelly participating in outdoor activities, especially rock climbing.
