Týčová, Petra ; Viktorová, Ida (advisor) ; Vídršperková, Lenka (referee)
The thesis deals with the challenging behaviour of children from the perspective of first grade primary school teachers who perceive this behaviour as a significant source of professional stress. The aim of the thesis is to map which forms of children' behaviour are identified by teachers as the most burdensome, what they experience in relation to exposure to challenging behaviour and what teachers lack in order to manage the professional burden better. The theoretical section provides background information on the emotions and stress experienced by teachers. The next part is devoted to the concept of challenging behaviour of children, its forms and manifestations. Finally, the area of social support for teachers is discussed and the importance of mental hygiene is mentioned. The aim of the practical part is to trace, through a qualitative investigation by analysing semi- structured interviews, which children' behaviour is identified as challenging by the first-grade teachers at the selected school, what they experience in connection with exposure to this behaviour, what support they receive from the school management and the school counselling centre, or what additional support they would welcome and what they themselves do to be able to carry out their work with less professional burden.

Bečvářová, Zora ; Marádová, Eva (advisor) ; Kadrnožková, Monika (referee)
My thesis is focused on the prevention of challenging behaviour in inclusive education. The aim of the work is to describe prevention at a selected elementary school in Karovy Vary, with a focus on pupils with special educational needs. In the theoretical part prevention, challenging behaviour and the features of students with special educational needs are described. Several examples of challenging behaviour in the individual specific students and the prevention of this behaviour are also mentioned. In the practical part common prevention was studied. Later on, how the students with special educational needs participate in preventive activities, and eventually if they have some modifications. The study was performed at the second degree of the selected elementary school in Karlovy Vary. The research was done using analysis of documents, interviews and observations. It was ascertained that the prevention of challenging behaviour towards the mentioned student is not well elaborated. There are obvious only some indications of activity transformation and individualisation of prevetion.

The challenging behaviour of mentally handicaped people and working with these clients by providing social services
JELÍNKOVÁ, Jana
Nowadays, mentally handicapped people are an integral part of our society. Many of them use some social services. And as the rest of the population, even mentally handicapped people sometimes show behaviour which is not appropriate, adequate or somehow disturbs the others ? problem behaviour. When providing social services it is also important so that even these clients have the opportunity to live a satisfactory life and their behaviour does not limit them in using social services. The theoretical part is focused on the information regarding mentally handicapped people who show problem behaviour. It describes individual kinds of problem behaviour, causes of such behaviour and its consequences. It also outlines possible techniques and types of work with clients who are mentally handicapped and show problem behaviour. Furthermore, the work shows specifics of working with such clients when providing social services. The objective of this work was to map and compare types of problem behaviour shown by users of outpatient and in-hospital social services and possibilities working with them. In order to achieve the objective, a quantitative research was selected, specifically a respondents? method, i.e. a questionnaire. The basic target group was workers providing hospitals and outpatient services for mentally handicapped people. The results showed that the existence of problem behaviour among mentally handicapped clients is significant. The most frequent forms are verbal and physical aggression. The workers, when working, use modern work techniques which precede measures limiting a movement. Providing social services is not significantly impacted by clients? behaviour and the workers have the opportunity to develop themselves in the area of problem behaviour in case of mentally handicapped clients. By processing the data, I have identified other areas related to this subject matter that may form a basis for further research. This concerns finding out how much the workers are influenced by the client?s behaviour when working, and whether using modern work methods and making use of prevention mitigate the perception of the clients as problem ones and subsequently the workers? approach to these clients is not influenced.
