Volunteers as a complement to professional social work with foster families
HAVLOVÁ, Jana
Volunteering can be understood as a voluntarily chosen activity, which is practised for the benefit of others, without any claim for a financial reward. The volunteers operate in various fields, one of the most common is the social field. This bachelor thesis deals with volunteering as a complement to professional social work with foster families. Its main aim is to map out the use of volunteers in the social work with foster families. Other main aim is to describe the contribution of volunteers to the work with foster families, from the point of view of the social workers. The results of the research are contained in the practical part of this thesis. To reach the set aims, a technique of qualitative research was used. As a data-gathering method was chosen the method of interviewing, which took place with the help of the method of semi-controlled interviews. Five communication partners were interviewed, and the data were rewritten into tables for better orientation, with the help of open coding and categorisation of the data. The results showed that 13 following institutions operate in the South Bohemian region, whereas the volunteers are used for the work with foster families only in five of these institutions. Foster families are offered many forms of volunteering from these institutions, these forms differ by their structure and content. The role of a volunteer in an organisation is perceived very positively, primarily because the volunteer and the child can establish a very friendly relationship. This relationship is perceived by social workers as a great complement to their work. The contribution of volunteers in the organisation is perceived very positively. The results in my bachelor thesis can be useful for social services providers, as well as for the accompanying institutions. The results can also show to those accompanying institutions, which don't use volunteers, what are possible benefits of volunteering in the work with foster families.

HOFFMANNOVÁ, Denisa
The bachelor thesis examines the reflection of practical training conducted in the scope of the study of social work at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. The objective of the bachelor thesis is to determine the content and contributions of practical training in social work from the perspective of students of social studies. With respect to the objective delineated above, four research questions were postulated. Does the content of practical training correspond to the content of work as determined by the Faculty? What are the contributions that practical training makes for students of social sciences? Is students' knowledge of the content of a social worker's job sufficient? Do social workers provide adequate information on dealing with users of social services? Based on specialized literature, the first part defines basic terms used in the thesis. This part scrutinizes the terms "social work" and "social worker". In addition, this part provides a brief classification of social work methods, the minimum education standard for social work, which is the main tool for improving education in social work in the Czech Republic. As a future social worker, a student of social work should have both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, gained through practical training and supervision. Moreover, the theoretical part delves into the themes of practical training and facilities where practical training can be conducted. The practical part of the bachelor thesis makes use of a qualitative research, interrogation method and technique of a semi-controlled interview. The research set was composed of 10 students of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, whose field of study is Social work in public administration or Rehabilitation and psychosocial care of disabled children, adults and seniors. The method of cluster creation was applied as a procedure for data evaluation. The research indicated that the students were well aware of what the work of social workers entails. The students learnt to cope with initial concerns and negative emotions. The students' practical training gave them experience may rely on in their future life. Moreover, the practical training helped the students identify the target group they wish to be concerned with in their careers. The practical training pinpointed for most of the students a large number of weaknesses to be challenged by them in the future. As a positive contribution, the students mentioned unanimously the positive approach of social workers to clients and their work in general.

Consociational theory - Libanon case study
Coufal, Ondřej ; Říchová, Blanka (advisor) ; Gelnarová, Jitka (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with contribution of Consociational theory for Lebanon in 1943 till 1975 and during a follow-up state's reconstruction in 1989 after a civil war. In 1943 Lebanon becomes an independent state for the first time and its political system contained Consociational principles described by Netherland's political scientist Arend Lijphart. Those were present in order to keep the system stable despite wide religious fragmentation which was the Lebanon's case. The possibility of taking part in political decision making had all of the relevant groups. Institutional organization matched the basic Consociational conditions but the society was divided ideologically and socially. Arab nationals appeared among the Muslims whilst the Christians rather advanced the Lebanese nationalism. Problems were also brought together with a bad socioeconomic situation which was mostly a disadvantage for Muslims. Already a situation this difficult was intensified by a long-termed Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian migration in Lebanon going along with it. The aim of this thesis is to find out how the elites dealt with such a difficult situation in 1943 till 1975 then to evaluate the presence of Consociational principles and their contribution.
