Since 2001, he has also been a secondary school teacher and has been teaching biology and chemistry at the Eliška Krásnohorská Grammar School. During 2001-2008 she worked closely with the Department of Didactics and Chemistry at the Faculty of Science of the Charles University.
In 2002 Jiřina graduated from the Charles University Faculty of Natural Sciences in Prague, where she studied the field of General Education Teaching for Secondary Schools of Biology and Chemistry. She subsequently obtained a doctorate in the field of Didactics of Chemistry at the same faculty within the postgraduate studies, where in 2012 she successfully defended a dissertation entitled "Activation methods and forms in the teaching of science subjects". During her doctoral studies, she spent a semester internship at the University of Oulu, Finland.
At the Department of Didactics and Biology Teaching, Jirina coordinates the award of bachelor's theses. At the same time, many bachelor and diploma theses led. Its focus is related to activation methods and forms in the teaching of science subjects, especially with regard to biology and chemistry according to her graduated study approval.
