Tento článek poskytuje informace o exploratorní studii realizované na několika českých vysokých školách během let 2008 a 2009. Tato studie byla zaměřena na vnímání hodnoty umístění (stáží) v praxi ze strany vysokoškolských pedagogů v ekonomických disciplínách. Umístění pedagoga v praxi vyžaduje, aby byl pedagog uvolněn do hostitelské organizace na předem určenou dobu a plnil tam dohodnuté úkoly.
Hlavními cíli této studie bylo jednak získat informace ohledně vnímání českých vysokoškolských pedagogů ohledně významu zkušenosti z praxe mimo oblast školství, jednak byla zkoumání podrobena validita existujícího teoretického modelu umístění pedagogů v praxi, které vychází z pojetí znalostních komunit popisovaných Lave a Wengerem.
Výsledky naznačují, že čeští vysokoškolští pedagogové by rádi podobnou zkušenost z praxe podstoupili a že je testovaný model relevantní pro české prostředí a měl by být dále hlouběji zkoumán. Tento model je také vhodný pro stanovení doporučení k stanovení politik na různých úrovních - v souvislosti s přípravou reformy terciárního vzdělávání, pro vedení vysokých škol i organizací z praxe.

University teachers of economic disciplines and practice - a needed synergy?

This article reports on an exploratory study, conducted at a number of universities in the Czech Republic during 2008-09, on the perception of the value of industry placement for academics in economic disciplines. An industry placement requires an academic to be seconded to a relevant industry host organisation for a predetermined period of time to undertake agreed-to specific tasks.
The main aims of this study were to gather information about the perceptions that Czech academics would place on an industry placement experience, and to test validity of a theoretical model of teacher placement in industry which is based on communities of practice as described by Lave and Wenger.
The results suggest that the Czech academics would like to undertake such placements and the model of teacher placement in industry is relevant for the Czech environment and should be investigated further. Also, the model could be used for policy recommendations on various levels - for tertiary education reform preparations, university officials and industry.

Keywords: university teacher, industry placement, professional development, community of practice
