Teacher´s attitudes to hyperactive pupils
KRÁLOVÁ, Martina
ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is nowadays the most frequently diagnosed children mental disorder. It appears at 3-6% of school children. One of the causes of this hyperkinetic syndrome is immaturity of central nervous system, where genetic and non-genetic factors, which emerge prenatally, are applied. Then children have attention problems, they are impulsive and hyperactive. The beginning of studies at elementary school is very important step for the child because the school is trying to socialize and develop the attitude to life. Teachers are expected to use respect to individuality and personality to make the studying attitude easy for the child. Working with hyperactive child (and working with the whole class where this child belongs as well) is de facto a special demand on the teacher and it is highly above the usual education competence. In theoretical part of this thesis I'm trying to describe ADHD problems and I write as well about conception of this syndrome and of corresponding terminology, from minimal cerebral dysfunction to today's conception of ADHD. Individual chapters are dedicated to symptoms of ADHD and to occurrence of the disorder, to it's causes and diagnostics. I also add a chapter about different course of ADHD at both sexes. Then I work in detail on problems connected with adaptation of child with ADHD to school environment ? I describe usual behaviour of hyperactive child, the influence of class, the teacher's personality and his (or her) ideas about students. I also quote the main legislation, rules and provisions connected to teaching a child with ADHD. Taking into consideration the importance of family on child's working at school, I add an extra chapter about a family with ADHD child, in which I describe relationships between the parents and the child and their rules to successful raising. At the end of the theoretical part I write about consulting facilities that parents and teachers can use, I examine how they work and what they provide. In my research I present the course and the result of qualitative research which is focused on elementary teacher's experience with teaching hyperactive students. I was not only interested in teachers' knowledge and in their attitude to hyperactive students but also in practical skills that they use during teaching. I am using these four questions to express the general task of my research: 1) What is the teachers' experience with hyperactive students like? 2) How is cooperation with their parents? 3) How does cooperation with consulting facilities look like? 4) How to apply methodical instructions? Research questions are further converted into questions for the semi-structured interview. The results from the research are supported by information from the interview with ten teachers from elementary schools. The most important result of my research is finding out that pedagogical assistant together with sitting in front of the class significantly improves children's adaptation to school requirements. Hyperactivity does not influence the class social status of children with ADHD. Between teachers there is a widespread belief that hyperactivity can be partially influenced in the family. Teachers are satisfied with cooperation between them and parents and they do not want to change it. Families cooperate with pedagogical-psychological advisory center or with other specialists (psychiatrist, neurologist or psychologist). While trying to apply methodical instructions, teachers from my research group do not rely on help from PPP and they prefer to solve problems themselves. This thesis demonstrates authentic experience of teachers who has worked with hyperactive children. I write about specific teaching demands and about principles for working with hyperactive students that can be useful for general pedagogical public.

ADHD Children and Self-help Societies
KOŠNAROVÁ, Jana
Hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder belong to very complicated disorders which should be considered in a global view. At present no general or miracle medicine can be used. However, specific learning disabilities and ADHD are focused on very intensively at basic schools in the Czech Republic. Children´s aggressiveness, hyperactivity and difficulties in raising are discussed very often. No programme or method can substitute a nice family life, loving parental care and good relations in the family. However, many cases of destroying a contended family life caused by child´s disorders or disharmony are reported. Even the best family is not expected to be able to bring up a hyperactive child by itself. The dissertation is focused on children who suffer from functional disorder called ADHD syndrom. First part of the work is divided into chapters which detail ADHD terminology, its historical development, symptoms, probable causes, diagnostics and ways of dealing with it in general. Further chapters analyse specific learning disabilities which are closely related to ADHD. The goal of the work consists in emphasising importance of self-help societies and civic associations at local and national dimensions. Next part concerns with the study on current situation of the care and service provided for ADHD children and their families in the region of Česká Lípa.Children´s parents were asked to fill in the questionnaire in order to find out their opinions and needs, and if they are satisfied with services provided for their children. They were also informed about the self-help societies and civic associations and ways of establishing local ones. The work should draw attention to the disorders mentioned above and most of all emphasise the importance of civil sector which plays a significant role in dealing with these problems. The author would also like to refer to the necessity of improving lives of these childrens and their close relatives.

Dilema of hyperkinetic syndrome of childhood and the integration to nursery school and to common basic tribes.
RAINEROVÁ, Lucie
My bachelor thesis put mind to detection of integration of child with hyperkinetic syndrome into the peers` group in the school institution. I wanted to determine, which signs of this disorder and how interact integration of these childern. I wanted to propose equipments for theirs integration. Hyperkinetic syndrome (formely known as {\clqq}minimal brain dysfunction``) is a behaviour disorder originating in childhood in which the essential features are signs of developmentally inappropriate inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity.It has been estimated that approximately 3-10% of the total children population are affected by the hyperkinetic syndrome. The syndrome is more common in males than females. Therefore, it is very important to support the child{\crq}s integration into the childrens` group. The burden of the integration into the peers group should lie with the school, especially the teachers who are most familiar with the child. The hypothesis is {\clqq}Children with the hyperkinetic syndrome have problems with their integration into the peers` groups in both nursery schools and basic schools (without special needs)``. Records of my working illustrate, that the integration appear to by not so difficult. The hypothesis negate. The aim was fulfilled.
