How gender is being born in a diagnostic institute
Benešová, Jana ; Abu Ghosh, Yasar (advisor) ; Bittnerová, Dana (referee) ; Pelcová, Naděžda (referee)
The dissertation completes research that began in late 2007. It presents research findings concerning ways and methods of (re) construction of gender identities of Czech children placed in facilities for institutional and protective education. Based on ethnographic research in Diagnostic institute Ark there are examined practices and techniques shaping gender roles and contents, which are rooted in the so-called helping professions discourses. Psychology, special education, social work, pedagogy, education and health education are specializations that converge are under the roof of the institutes and create a discursive field for the exercise of power-colored procedures disciplining the children who are placed (cf. Laan, 1998). These procedures are directly linked to the concepts of socially desirable sex-gender order. The research objective was to capture the processes which have been neglected by the Czech professional community so far and which may become potential disciplination instruments in the hands of professionals in a wide range of helping professions, including social and special pedagogy.

Bravená, Noemi ; Helus, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Pelcová, Naděžda (referee) ; Muchová, Ludmila (referee)
The submitted interdisciplinary dissertation on (outreach) transcendence of the child contains two parts: theoretical and empirical one. The theoretical part analyzes this concept in terms of linguistics, philosophy of education, psychology and religious pedagogy which implies conclusions for education. It also examines the concept of an ideal homo transcendens about which we can speak of a paradoxical and typological significance. In addition to this, the work reflects the care of overlap educators, child and curriculum. The empirical part of this work presents two pre surveys: One on children, the other on adults and children. Here is also presented methodology ready for transcendence term and it has its own specifics in a group interview based on two fictional stories. Qualitative research results are presented in four units: hermeneutical, socializing, emotional- attitudinal and empowermantal. Overlap as part of the education turnover to a child is related to the child together with the turnover in the child and the teacher. KEYWORDS: transcendence, transcending, outreach, child, personality, socialization, typology, metanoia, turning-to-child education

TITLE: The Problem of Freedom in Existential Philosophy AUTHOR: Bc. Simona Grospičová DEPARTMENT: Social Sciences and Philosophy Department SUPERVISOR: doc. PhDr. Naděžda Pelcová, CSc. ABSTRACT: The main theme of this dissertation is the concept of freedom in the philosophy of Jean Paul Sarte and Søren Kierkegaard.

Religion as Challenge for Multicultural Education
Pirklová, Klára ; Pelcová, Naděžda (advisor) ; Semrádová, Ilona (referee) ; Stark, Stanislav (referee)
TITLE: Religion as Challenge for Multicultural Education AUTHOR: Klára Pirklová DEPARTMENT: Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy SUPERVISOR: doc. PhDr. Naděžda Pelcová, CSc. ABSTRACT: In our thesis, we deal with the topic of multicultural education. We do not opt for the social sciences perspective, though, but choose philosophical angle, instead. Methodologically, we base on the phenomenological-hermeneutical approach. It means that we do not base our questioning on predefined terms but only aim to search for them. Our questions yet focus on face-to-face relationship with the other-foreigner. We especially deal with intersubjectivity concepts of E. Husserl, B. Waldenfels, E. Lévinas, M. Buber and J. Patočka. We try to define basic conditions of mutually rewarding dialog which at the same time would not be flat but kept its depths. Although our approach is theoretical, we try to enroot our results back into practice all the way though by giving variety of practical examples. By "religion" we then mean the effort of really giving oneself into dialog instead of just theorizing about it. The courage to let oneself really disturbed by the other, even though there is a risk of losing something important. Right here - in the dialog as undergoing crisis - we see the challenge for education in multicultural...
