Development of tactile perception in blind children of preschool age
Vacková, Adéla ; Šumníková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Bertlová, Barbora (referee)
The bachelor's thesis addresses the topic of developing tactile perception in preschool-aged children who are visually impaired. Tactile perception is a key factor for individuals with visual impairments, especially for those who are blind, as it facilitates a more manageable and meaningful life. People with visual impairments rely on tactile perception (as well as other sensory perceptions). These individuals focus primarily on individual details, which they gradually connect to form an overall picture of a given object. The thesis includes basic theories on visual impairment, tactile perception, and typhlography. The subsequent sections focus on the development of tactile perception, stimulation, thinking, creativity, and imagination in preschool-aged children with visual impairments, as well as the importance of developing tactile perception in these children. The research was conducted using qualitative methods, with data collected through semi-structured interviews and observations. The study involved children with visual impairments and their educators from the Jaroslav Ježek Kindergarten. For comparison, interviews and observations were also conducted with children without visual impairments. The research mainly focused on the development of tactile perception in children with visual...
Higher education options for visually impaired students
Marková, Jana ; Šumníková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Květoňová, Lea (referee)
According to Act No. 111/1998 Coll., universities are required to provide persons with various types of disabilities suitable conditions for studying at a university. This support is not specified in detail in the Act, so each school decides individually what steps to take in this area, but there is an effort to gradually harmonize methods. This thesis is focused on the support provided specifically to students with visual impairments. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the main idea is to describe what kind of support students with visual impairments need and what are its possibilities in the field of education. The aim of the practical part of the thesis is to find out what kind of support is currently provided to students in the Czech Republic and how it is used and evaluated by them. The qualitative method of a structured interview was used to answer these questions. Responses show that students are provided with support commensurate with their needs and none of the respondents feel that professional centers do not provide such support sufficiently.

Dvořáková, Hana ; Marádová, Eva (advisor) ; Šumníková, Pavlína (referee)
This work aims to find out how schools in the context of the presence of pupils with support needs prepare for organizing an outdoor school in the 1st grade of primary school and then formulate practice recommendations. The goal was achieved based on a research investigation, within the framework of which two probes were implemented. Probe I includes structured interviews with educational counselors at five selected primary schools. It investigated whether a subsequent written inquiry could take place at the selected schools. Probe II includes an online questionnaire survey aimed at teachers and teaching assistants. Based on this, it was found that in the area of teaching, free time, ensuring self-service activities of pupils, strengthening the pupil collective, and communication with parents, teachers prepare for school in nature differently than for regular teaching. They are helped by the activity, independence, and creativity of teaching assistants if they are willing to help. In the area of preparation for teaching, in the context of cooperation with teaching assistants, it is recommended to set goals beforehand, with which all its participants will become familiar. In the case of trips where leisure activities are provided by outsiders, we recommend that they familiarize themselves with the specifics...
