Cílem práce je shrnutí současných poznatků o volném čase a výchově ve volném čase, přehled nabídky volnočasových aktivit a zájem žáků o výchovu ve volném čase. V teoretické části jsem se zabýval shrnutím současných poznatků o volném čase, volnočasových aktivitách a poté v praktické části průzkumem nabídky volnočasových aktivit a charakteristikou školských a mimo školských zařízení. V praktické části výzkumu jsem chtěl dosáhnout co nejobjektivnějšího výsledku, a proto jsem zvolil k doplnění teoretického přístupu také praktický výzkum. Díky němu se mi podařilo získat důležité aktuální informace o dnešní středoškolské mládeži ve zvoleném regionu a o tom, jak tráví svůj volný čas. Jako výzkumný nástroj jsem použil dotazníkovou metodu, jelikož jsem chtěl získat co nejobjektivnější výsledky, oslovil jsem studenty a studentky z učebních i studijních oborů.
