U3V VŠE a počítačová gramotnost v systému celoživotního vzdělávání
Hnilička, Jakub ; Horný, Stanislav (advisor)
V poslední době se vedle klasické gramotnosti mluví o počítačové gramotnosti. Tato problematika zasahuje každého z nás, ale hlavně lidi v post-produktivním věku, kteří během svého života neměli příležitost se seznámit s informačními technologiemi. Národní program počítačové gramotnosti byl velkou příležitostí jak tuto negramotnost odbourat, ale bohužel zanikl i koncem působnosti Ministerstva informatiky ČR. Zarážející je postoj státu, který připravuje projekty v oblasti e-Governmentu , elektronického sčítání lidu a elektronických voleb bez jakékoliv koncepce na rozvoj uživatelů těchto ambiciózních projektů. Jednou možností jak se zdokonalovat i po ukončení kariéry je studium na Univerzitě třetího věku VŠE, kde se studenti seznamují s prací na počítači, ale i multimedii v Grafické a multimediální laboratoři. Bohužel tato univerzita není přístupná pro každého. Tato omezení spočívají především v podmínce ukončeného středoškolského vzdělání, ale i z kapacitních důvodů. Volbou skutečně pro všechny tedy zůstává komerční sektor, který nabízí širokou škálou kurzů. Tyto kurzy jsou buď z nabídky softwarových firem nebo z konceptu ECDL (Evropský řidičák na počítač).

Lifestyle of the Third Age University Students
HOLICKÁ, Monika
Lifestyle of the University of the Third Age listeners The thesis as a whole is written in the spirit of the quality of senior life and active spending an old age. First chapter ? Current status - represents the theoretical frame of the thesis which introduces the reader with the key issues essential for the correct understanding of the work. In its´ main subchapters are described demographical development and the population aging, life quality of senior people and social security in old age. Special chapter is dedicated to the tools of an active old age where the both national and international activities on this field are described, the types of senior organizations such as Active seniors clubs or People´s universities are divided, and separate chapter deals with the education of senior people including the description of educational activities like University of the Third Age or the Academy of the Third Age. The last part of mentioned chapter is dedicated to functions, targets and positive results of the senior people education. Remaining chapters concern the qualitative research. In the chapter two the objective of the thesis is defined, including the main and component research questions. The objective of the thesis is to describe the lifestyle of the senior people who participate on the educational activities within the University of the Third Age (U3V). Specifically to describe how their lifestyle differs unlike to the senior people who does not attend the educational courses via U3V and which positive benefits the study brings. The secondary objective is to determine the factors that impede these senior people to attend the Universities of the Third Age. Third chapter refers to the detailed description of the research methodology. The qualitative attitude with the research design of the case study was chosen for this thesis. I used the moderated interview method and the semi-structured interview for the data collecting and right after the framework analysis was chosen in order to process gathered data. To evaluate the data I used the case comparison method. This chapter also includes the description of the research sample selection and also its characteristics. Forth chapter presents the results of evaluated interviews. Whereas the research file was divided into three groups, also these results have a structure of three separated subchapters. The summary of gathered key knowledge is mentioned at the end of this chapter. I managed to identify the base differences in particular branches of senior people lifestyles between senior people that attend the U3V educational activities, those who don´t and the senior people participate in the Active senior clubs thanks to the comparison of the particular case studies. It is possible briefly to say that the result shows us that the U3V study has no influence on the softening of the feeling of loneliness, although the important role of the U3V in senior people lives mainly in giving them both the kind of meaning of life and the opportunity to spend old age actively with the people of the same generation with the same interests. Senior people who do not attend the educational activities indicate the lower number of meetings with other people, but on the other hand they meet their relatives much more often, in some cases every day, and thanks to this fact, they do not feel the loneliness and see their meaning of life in the care od family. This is the reason, why they do not have a need to attend other activities. After this chapter the Discussion follows, which compares the gathered results of the research with already publicized knowledge. The conclusion, bibliographic sources and the annexes are placed in the end of the thesis.
