A growing number of arts therapists around the world work in schools, but information on their practices is limited. The aim of this work is to examine the theoretical influences and therapeutic trends prevalent in Czech educational institutions. Data obtained from 142 respondents were collected using the “Practice of Arts Therapies” questionnaire. Based on a statistical analysis of the responses, the results show that therapists prefer predominantly humanistic trends with a wide range of other therapeutic influences based on assimilative integration tendencies. Contrary to the initial assumptions, it was found that there is little difference in the preferences for trends in different work environments. The results can be used for international comparisons of arts therapies in the educational environment, as they seem to be an important area of interdisciplinary practice associated with education.

The study presents partial results of a research project which monitors the reception of poetry by primary and secondary school students. We introduce a research of the reception of poems by selected students of a vocational school. We would like to find out whether a research method, which is based on a semantic differential and designed primarily to measure reading experiences of grammar school students, is able to capture the reader‘s experiences of the concerned respondents, too. We compare the results with the results of grammar school students obtained in a previous research. The results show that the semantic differential method can also be used to measure reading experiences of students of vocational schools. Factor analysis showed sufficient saturation of particular scales by relevant factors. It was also revealed that vocational school students are able to read poetry independently and record their reading experiences when sufficiently motivated. It very much depends on their motivation, a selection of appropriate texts, and choice of appropriate teaching methods
