Abstract: The paper is devoted to the results of the second stage of an internal research project, which has been implemented since 2008 at the Lifelong Learning Institute at Mendel University in Brno. Analysis of the educational needs of students undertaking the Bachelor degree in Specialization in Pedagogy was carried out by a questionnaire. The first part is devoted to the attitudes of student teachers to the graduate profile for the field of study, and the issue of the content of study programs is also addressed, with a focus on the practical component. The second part of the paper focuses on research into the professional skills of student teachers which are essential to the successful working life of graduates. This section describes in detail the significance of selected professional skills in relation to the graduate employment market. From a comparison of the results of the investigation, it can be concluded that students deemed the most important areas of professional competence to be proficiency in their own field and the ability to make meaning clear to others. The obtained data are interpreted and discussed in the context of similar studies performed in the Czech Republic and abroad. Based on the results of research, some substantive and methodological changes are proposed in the fields of teaching vocational subjects (UOP) and of teaching and training practical subjects (UPVOV).
