Příspěvek seznamuje s vybranými terminologickými poznatky získanými v souvislosti s překladem nově vydané publikace věnované badatelsky orientované výuce, která se jeví jako přínosná z hlediska aplikace v technických a přírodovědných předmětech. Snahou je rovněž reagovat na globalizační trendy projevující se stále intenzivnější komunikací českých vědeckých a pedagogických pracovníků z oblasti technického vzdělávání v anglickém jazyce. V této souvislosti se věnujeme vybraným více či méně frekventovaným pojmům v rámci oborových didaktik. The article introduces the readers to the selected terminological findings acquired in connection to the translation of a new publication devoted to the inquiry-based instruction, which appears as a contributive one in terms of its application in technical and science-related subjects. There is also an effort to react on the globalizing trends, which are manifesting themselves in an intensive communication of Cuech scientific and educational workers from the field of technical education in the English language. In this connection, we deal with more or less frequent terms of the field didactics.

The phenomenon of divided government belongs to one of the most discussed topics in contemporary American political science. The American political system experiences its unprecedented increase since the half of the 20th century, which is connected with the obvious interest in such an issue. Many authors reflect it as negative a priori, unless they would study the circumstances of its existence, influence on the system or differences between divided and unified conditions. David R. Mayhew as a first one systematically studied impact of divided government in comparison with the unified one. His theory and especially his conclusions, which claim the absence of fundamental difference in enacting important legislation between the conditions of divided and unified government, are theoretical basis for this work. This paper aims to evaluate first term of President Barack Obama from the perspective of Mayhew's theory, and try to validate his theses from the beginning of 1990s. Key Words: American Political System, Divided Government, Unified Governmnet, David R. Mayhew, American Presidency, Congress of the United States of America.
