Krobová, Natálie ; Viktorová, Ida (advisor) ; High, Radka (referee)
In my diploma thesis, I deal with the comparison of urban and rural kindergartens with regard to the granting of deferrals of compulsory schooling. The aim of the work was to clarify the issue of postponing compulsory schooling and to find out the frequency, reasons for postponing compulsory schooling and the opinions of parents and teachers on questions on the given topic, all from the point of view of comparing urban and rural kindergartens. The work is divided into two main parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part serves as an introduction to the topic. In the first chapter of the theoretical part, I define concepts such as kindergarten - its functions, tasks, cooperation with parents and elementary school. In the second chapter, I define individual areas of maturity and readiness. The third chapter contains a theoretical summary of information on school attendance delays.

This thesis examines the experience of undergraduate students with online learning during the school closures related to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the theoretical section, I present data that relate to the lived experience based on the literature. I then proceed to the empirical section in which I employ qualitative methodology. Specifically, respondents accounts are captured through diaries and interviews. The research group consists of six university students, represented by four women and two men. The age range of the respondents is 22 to 24 years old at the time of writing the diaries. The diaries were recorded by the respondents between February 2021 and July 2021, i.e. during the summer semester of the academic year 2020/2021. In the second stage of data collection, I conducted semi-structured interviews with the same respondents where they reflected on the experience of online learning. I further analysed the data collected in the form of diaries and interview transcripts using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The analysis resulted in themes that were relevant to all interviewees. These themes are space, relationships, specifics of online teaching, which contains overwhelming, frustration and stress, attention and motivation and also physical aspects. In the last section,...
