The main purpose of the master's thesis was to investigate the relationship between the perceived professional performance of special and rehabilitation pedagogues and the style of their creative problem-solving. In the theoretical part, the term of professional (self) effectiveness is defined and associated with research about how it appears in special and rehabilitation pedagogues. The focus was also on creative problem-solving and within this framework, on different styles of creative problem-solving. Furthermore, the work of special and rehabilitation pedagogues and their competences were presented. In the empirical part, which was set out methodologically quantitatively, two questionnaires were used to identify the style of creative problem-solving and the perception of professional efficiency in special and rehabilitation pedagogues (n = 41). The obtained data was analysed using appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical procedures. The results showed that the most common style of creative problem-solving is that of an implementer. The working age of participants is the longest in those whose dominant style of creative problem-solving is that of an optimizer. Generators, on average, teach the oldest students. Depending on the workplace of the participants of the research, we notice that optimizers and implementers are relatively equally represented. There are far more generators in the special program than in the program with a lower educational standard. The results showed that participants judged themselves as effective or that they have a lot of influence on different situations. This means that the participants on average estimate, that they have a lot of influence on different situations. There is no statistically significant difference between professional efficiency and working age, the age of pupils and educational programs. The relationship between the style of creative problem-solving and the degree of perceived professional efficiency in this study has been statistically insignificant.
