Jiráčková, Libuše ; Šerák, Michal (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Zdeněk (referee)
Aged people study to give a reason to their life, to raise their self-confidence and to improve their social status. But that is not all. It is mostly psychological, fyziological and social problem. Emeritus person is, unfortunately, usually drove out to the edge of society and is called useless. For a lot of seniors is this feeling an impulse to prove that they are still able to do some work. In connection with this feeling it is needed to separate life of a person to three periods, which are bound to the ability of doing work. In the first period the person is thinking of his education - he studies. In the second period he concentrates most of his attention on the possibilities of his professional application and in the third period he focuses on creating the evenfall of his life, when the orientation on the material being is fading away. A person is mostly turning back to his suspended plans and unfilled educational dreams. (Ten years of educational activities for seniors, 1997)

Burnout syndrome
Baudyš, Jiří ; Šnýdrová, Ivana (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Zdeněk (referee)
Syndrom vyhoření sdružuje řadu příznaků, které doprovázejí ztrátu původního nadšení a motivace. Podmínkou konečného vyhoření je počáteční entuziasmus. Postižený jedinec nejprve pro nějakou myšlenku, obrazně řečeno, vzplane, zahoří. Když po určité době usilovného snažení pocítí, že mu ani největší zanícení nepomůže dosáhnout cíle, začne pozvolna doutnat… Je emocionálně vyčerpaný, méně výkonný a straní se lidí, ke kterým si vytváří odosobněný vztah. Syndrom vyhoření bývá definován situačně specificky, tedy ve vazbě na povolání postiženého. Společným jmenovatelem profesí, které působí zvýšeným rizikem syndromu vyhoření, bývá kontakt s lidmi. Typicky se vyskytuje mezi příslušníky pomáhajících profesí: lékaři, zdravotními sestrami, psychology, učiteli, manažery. Ti se setkávají s překážkami, které někdy pociťují jako nepřekonatelné. Toužili kdysi léčit, učit, vést zaměstnance či prodávat, ale postupem času získali nepříjemné zkušenosti o tom, že všechny nelze úspěšně vyléčit, naučit, vést či motivovat ke koupi. Ztrácejí vůli ke smyslu.

Competencies of a lecturer in pedagogy of experience
Hoznauerová, Viola ; Horáková Hoskovcová, Simona (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Zdeněk (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to characterize the most important competencies of a lecturer, who uses methods of experience pedagogy. The word "competency" means required abilities, knowledge and personal characteristics as well as different tasks and related authority of a lecturer. One part of the thesis deals with competencies of lecturers of social-psychological trainings. That is because these trainings are focused on social competencies which are essential for lecturers in experience pedagogy. The last chapter focuses on evaluation of lecturers. Specifically I describe a system of evaluation in an NGO called "Jules a Jim", mainly the process of creation of a competency model of a lecturer using methods of experiential learning. On the basis of the results of the evaluation I would like to propose recommendations on training lecturers at Jules a Jim.

Work motivation
Hloušková, Lenka ; Kocianová, Renata (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Zdeněk (referee)
This work focuses on the motivation of a labor activity and on motivation tools which can be used by an enterprise to stimulate its employees. The motivation is a complex inner process affected by a group of individual personal needs and interests and also by a lot of external incentives. Through the work activities, we aim to satisfy specific kind of needs such as need for achievements, need for success, need for self-fulfillment etc. I present the most known theories directly focused on the labor activity motivation, e.g. Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, Alderfer's ERG theory, McClelland's theory, theory of expectation, rightness or target etc. Because at the end, the stimulation target from the enterprise point of view is an increase of the quantity and quality of the employee outputs, I also focus on the demand for the output and the related motivation factors. In the work I describe motivation tools which can be used by an enterprise to stimulate its employees and I also target the conditions of creating and operation of the motivation program. At the end of the work, I address motivation tools of my current employer (under fictional name "AZ") and I attempt to evaluate their effectiveness.

Theoretical resources of education during old age
Drekslerová, Anna ; Šerák, Michal (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Zdeněk (referee)
Elaboration of the following text was primarily motivated by an effort to contribute toward propagation of awareness of a sense of education during old age and potentialities and limits of its practical realization. With utilisation of statistics, internetional documents and conclusions of assorted researches it is adverted to an evident discrepance between considerable expectations on education of elderly persons and its real situation, background and popularity within the present Czech society. What naturally couldn't stay out of interest is a theoretical comprehension of gerontagogy - a relatively modern science concerning with education "in old age and for old age", which I regard as a further, greatly advanced, qualitative stage in a process of differantiation and specialization of education sciences. A public demand that stands behind its formalization is widely associated especially with a worldwide trend of demographic aging. This trend represents - not only for gerontagogy - a major, unexplored area that raises many questions. What orientation of education in gerontagogy will prevail in future? Will its economic or humanitarian dimension win? Will education be adopted by old people themselves as an obvious part of a lifelong development and will it turn into a fulfilment of a responsible approach...
