Attitudes of university students to academic cheating - sample situations analysis.
ŽALUD, Jakub
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the attitude of university students towards academic cheating. It focuses mainly on student´s attitudes and reasons for these attitudes. The theoretical part contains concepts related to academic cheating for better orientation in this issue. In the empirical part, the attitude of college students towards academic cheating has been investigated. The research group consisted of 6 respondents, currently studying at university. Research shows that respondent´s attitudes to academic cheating are frequently inhomogeneous. This may refer to a different personal experience, to the unacceptability of cheating based on generally valid school standards or to the various personalities of the respondents. Some consensus among respondents appears especially in situations that respondents tend to evaluate as more serious (theft, betrayal of trust or theft of intellectual property). Also, there is a tendency for respondents to react mildly towards academic cheating that is considered to be prevalent.

Assessment Methods of the Pupils in ARPIDA, o.s.
ŽALUD, Jakub
The most widely used forms of school evaluation currently include the quantitative form (marking) and the qualitative form (verbal evaluation). Furthermore, the teaching process itself comprises various other methods which are involved in the formation of the final assessment. The forms and methods of the educational process are conveniently interconnected so as to achieve a quality learning result of the pupil. The process of school assessment is highly complex and it is affected by many aspects such as the personality of the pupil, the personality of the teacher or their mutual relationship. The process of assessment in connection with the education of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) appears to be even more complicated. The thesis is concerned with the methods and forms of pupils' assessment in the ARPIDA, o.s. center. The work is divided into a theoretical and a practical section. The theoretical section includes specific information about the issue of school evaluation. It discusses the relation between the teaching process and the process of evaluation and defines particular functions of school assessment. Moreover, the theoretical section contains particular forms and methods of assessment employed in education. The thesis explains the significance of positive and negative evaluation of pupils and the relationship between the teacher and the pupil in the process of evaluation focused on pupils with special educational needs in the schools of the ARPIDA, o.p.s. center. It conducts a survey of the current character and condition of particular schools in the instituton. The principal aim of the thesis is to determine the methods and forms of pupils' assessment employed in the schools of the ARPIDA, o.p.s center. A partial objective is to determine which forms and methods are employed by the teachers of the ARPIDA, o.p.s center to evaluate pupils with regard to their handicaps. The practical section was created using the qualitative research method of questioning. A semi-structured interview has been chosen to extrapolate the information about the issue. The research was conducted in the ARPIDA o.s. center. The six respondents who participated in it were comprised of the teachers of the individual schools. These teachers provided information regarding the evaluation of pupils with SEN. It can be inferred from the results of the research that the teachers in the schools of the ARPIDA, o.p.s. center employ quantitative and qualitative forms of assessment corresponding with the curriculum of the individual schools i.e. marking and verbal evaluation. The results indicate that verbal evaluation is preferred by the teachers depending on the individuality and character of the handicap of the individual pupils with SEN.
