The midwife's role in the sex education of the basic school pupils
KADLECOVÁ, Zdeňka
The midwie?ves role in the sex education of the elementary school pupils Sex education should be, in the first place, a matter of parenting or family education, yet it should be a natural part of school education. At present, sex education is part of the elementary school curriculum and its classes are based on verbal/visual concept, which includes all drawbacks of our system of education. Despite being trained and schooled at universities, future teachers have no possibility to become familiar with the issues relating to sex education due to their study programmes. One of the crucial problems that prevents smooth implementation of sex education at elementary schools is teachers? incompetence in this specific area. The author sees a possible solution in collaboration between teachers and medical staff (midwives, doctors) when providing sex education of pupils. The objective of the thesis at hand was to observe sex education awareness among elementary school pupils, their interest in sex education as a part of elementary school curriculum, and to identify whether there is an interest of the school management in hiring a midwife to tutor the sex education classes. To meet the objective, a quantitative research combined with a qualitative one was selected. The research was carried out at elementary schools in České Budějovice and the research corpus, which was created for the purposes of the quantitative research, comprised of elementary school pupils. The qualitative research was based on a selection of teachers teaching at the schools. There were established two hypotheses and one research question. Hypothesis 1 implied that pupils lack awareness of modes of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. This hypothesis has not been confirmed. Most of the pupils were aware of ways of sexual diseases transmission. Hypothesis 2 implied that pupils are interested in sex education as a part of elementary school curriculum. This hypothesis has been confirmed. The pupils responded that they would welcome more time spent on sex education; they want to retrieve the information mainly from their teachers and parents. While doing the research, the author learned that there was an interest in hiring a midwife to tutor the sex education classes. Two schools already had midwives to teach the classes; two other schools were discussing the possibility of inviting a midwife; and one school showed no interest in the matter. This answered the research question whether schools perceive midwives to be competent persons to tutor sex education classes. The author would welcome if the outcomes of the thesis helped improve the quality of sex education at elementary schools and introduce experts, doctors and midwives to tutor such classes.

Media and their influence on delinquent behavior of children and adolescents
JANOUCHOVÁ, Veronika
The Thesis "Media and their impact on delinquent behaviour of children and youth" studies possible effects of media on children and youth who have committed an offence. The influence of media on modern societies is substantial and still increasing, which is why its affect on a human is being more and more discussed. The influence of media on children and youth seems to be particularly important. High degree of influence by external factors, including that of media belongs to the basic factors of delinquent behaviour among children and youth. This is why the Thesis tries to link these two specific areas laying in the focus of professionals as well as general public. The theoretical part first deals with the basic terms related to the influence of media on delinquent behaviour among children and youth. It also describes development and functions of media, the basic attributes of media content and media influence. There is also an insight into the legislation and authorities dealing with media activity as well as the media educational conception. The author then analyses delinquency of children and youth including the activities of a custodian. The aim of the work was to gain more detailed information on the possible impact of media on delinquent behaviour of children and youth, which is why qualitative research was chosen. Questioning methods implemented by the technique of semi-standardized interviews was used for data collection in May and June 2010. The research sample consisted of two groups of respondents. The first group consisted of seven children and young people registered by a social office and the other one of five professionals working with young people who committed offences. A case report supporting the issues in question was moreover prepared from documents conducted by a custodian. The qualitative research showed that the direct influence of media on delinquent behaviour of youth seems to be questionable, but the image shown in media might support delinquent behaviour in persons with higher risk of such behaviour. The Thesis should particularly contribute to accessibility or also extension of the information on the possible influence of media on individuals or the society as a whole in relation to young people who have committed an offence. The research results may also serve as a base for further wider research.

Evaluation of the Primary Prevention of Risk Behavior at Elementary schools
ŠMATLÁKOVÁ, Iva
The title of my thesis is {\clqq}Primary prevention evaluation of the risk behaviour in primary schools``. Risk behaviour is a general term and there are different notions of what it covers. According to specialists in this field it is possible to determine three spheres of the risk behaviour. The first sphere is the drug abuse, the second sphere is behaviour related to the reproductive health and the third is the risk behaviour in the psychosocial respect. These are current issues discussed in society. The phenomena of drug abuse, bullying or pathologic gambling addiction are the most frequent forms of sociopathology occurring in primary schools pupils. The current state description of this issue is drawn from specialist literature. The description deals with the term risk behaviour, kinds of social pathologic phenomena, the primary prevention both in-school and out-of-school and the target group {--} teenagers. The important risk behaviour development factor is prevention. The objective of my thesis is to learn how effective the measures imposed by family members, friends, media and mainly by the school environment are. The aim of the thesis is also to review the effectiveness of the risk behaviour primary prevention in primary schools. The partial aim is to survey attitudes of pupils and school consultants to primary prevention and to risk behaviour prevention. To collect data the quantitative method of anonymous questionnaires was used. The quantitative research in the form of a semi-standardized interview with school consultants was also used. The conclusions of the research show that children have considerable experience with drugs of abuse and school consultants do not consider preventive measures to be effective enough. The results of my thesis were made available to school headmasters and to prevention consultants and may be used as a resource in primary prevention.

Occurance of the chosen risk in term of the gender about children.
MÁCHALOVÁ, Lenka
Abstract The problems of hazardous behavior with adolescents are getting into the foreground of the wide public. The problem of hazardous behavior with children, adolescents or young people is very real, not only in the Czech Republic, but all over the world, at prezent, it is a worldwide problem representing a substantial social problem with which many specialists in the field of psychologists, psychiatrics, educators, politics and other participating institucions, World Health Organization, are dealing. The Publisher results of research are pointing to a non- decreasing occurrence of hazardous behavior, where it comes to a basic shifting to a lower age group from the point of view of the gender eguality, when the girls and boys engage in hazardous behavior with different circumstances, conditions and occurrence. A whole range of research on this theme exists, but it does not fully concern the hazardous behavior, for instance in connection with information technologies, cell phones and using of habit-forming drugs. The thesis is divided in the theoretical and the practical part. In the theoretical part, the selected forms of hazardous behavior with children and the gender problems are described. In the practical part, the quantitative research method has been chosen,a method of gathering data by means of a questionnaire. The research summary for questionnaire inquiry was created by pupils attending the 7 th to 9 th school year of the primary schools in the South Bohemian region. The aim and purpose of the thesis was to find the appearance of selected risk behaviour with the children from the point of view of the gender, and to map the differences with a view to the gender problems. The aim was accomplished. There were four hypothesis stated. H1: The boys are a more endangered group in occurance of a hazardous behavior in connection with alkohol than the girls. H2: There is a higher risk in connection with usaje non-legal drugs about boys than about girls. H3: Boys are more endangered in the occurrence of a hazardous behavior in connection with habit-forming behavior relating to virtual milieu. H4: Girls are more endangered in connection with communication technology. The thesis may be used as an information survey of a selected hazardous behavior with the children and with the gender problems. The results of the research can be used as informative material for the lay public, for children and adolescents, for parents and other specialists (anti-drug coordinator, methodic of school prevention and not least for the education or as basics for a further following research aktivity. Further, the results of the research can be used for a closer determination of suitable prevention programs. For this reason, the results of the research were given to schools, where the research observation proceeded for the purpose of enhancement of the primarily preventive activity.

The problems of pathological behaviour in children and adolescents from the point of view of social workers
BARTOŠOVÁ, Lenka
The issue of pathological behaviour of children and adolescents is a rather delicate recent topic. Thus, I set two objectives for my thesis. The first objective was to survey the most frequent type of pathological behaviour of children and adolescents from social workers´ point of view. The other, partial objective was focused on causes of the pathological behaviour. The theoretical part of the paper deals with the terms such as, a child, an adolescent and a social worker. Social workers are here divided into several groups. There are welfare officers for children and adolescents, probation officers and parole officers, anti-drug coordinators, counsellors for the Romany issues and social workers there. Further, the paper closely describes the issue of pathological behaviour and its types. Causes of the pathological behaviour, its treatment and prevention of the pathological behaviour of children and adolescents are mentioned here as well. Qualitative research, a technique of a half-standardized interview with social workers were applied to obtain essential information for the thesis. Six social workers were polled in total. The interviews took place in November and December in 2009. The research results show that the most frequent types of pathological behaviour of children and adolescents are, according to social workers, thefts and truancy. The results also show that the most frequent causes of pathological behaviour of children and adolescents are bad family environment and influence of a gang. The results of the thesis reflect present situation in the field of pathological phenomena and are a valuable source of information about prevention and treatment. They can also become basis for further research and next studies in this field. Furthermore, the results might be suitable as study material within the tuition of this issue.

Criminality and Delinquency in the Region of Uherské Hradiště
BARTOŠOVÁ, Lucie
This diploma thesis is focused on analysis of children and adolescent crime rate in the Czech Republic; it partly describes criminality as a whole, its current situation and development. This thesis is aimed at survey of crime rate at primary schools in the region of Uherské Hradiště. It describes number of small thievery in the year 2006 in the region of Uherské Hradiště. This research was carried out by means of a questionnaire at the particular primary schools. There are described factors influencing criminality rate such as family, school, society, or media Literature, police statistics and school statistics show us basic information concerning criminality not only in the Czech Republic but in the region of Uherské Hradiště as well. It was found out that in the Czech Republic child criminality rate has diminishing tendency, but in the region of Uherské Hradiště this situation is not observable (it has nothing to do with number of thefts). By means of the questionnaire it was found out that thefts do not appear frequently at primary schools. Only sometimes schools deal with small offences in the form of not expensive things. These small offences do not occur nowadays more often than in the past and also it is not possible to say whether they are more frequent at town schools or schools in villages. Thefts concerning expensive products are minimal at primary schools. However, thefts committed by teenagers and adolescents have an increasing rate, in accordance with police in Uherské Hradiště. This thesis is aimed at a better orientation in the child, teenager, and adolescent criminality development in the Czech Republic and in the region of Uherské Hradiště in order to avoid small thefts or other offences among children.
