Role of reward and punishment in the upbringing and education of pre-school child with special educational needs
TUČKOVÁ, Olga
This Bachelor´s thesis deals with the problematics of rewards and punishments in educational process in nursery schools for children with special educational needs. The theoretical part focuses on rasining children, various ways of raising, on education, teaching, personal qualities of teachers and their competences. The following two chapters deal with the rewards, punishments and the risks associated with them. The next chapter concentrates on preschool children´s development and preschool education as well as the characteristics of nursery schools. Last chapter focuses on children with special educational needs, special needs education and special education consulting. The practical part deals especially with the research results which were gained through the qualitative research, an in-depth interview consisting of eight questions. The questions were answered by six respondents, the pedagogical workers in nursery schools for children with special educational needs in České Budějovice. The aim of this Bachelor´s thesis is to find out which rewards and punishments are used in the educational process in nursery schools for children with special educational needs, what are their effects, how often they are used and the reasons why they are used. The research shows that almost the only and the most used reward is a praise and the most used punishments are mainly an oral rebuke or the restriction of some activities for a certain period of time until the child realizes their bad behaviour. Children are pleased and are positively motivated when they are praised but soon they forget about it. Rebukes are also not effective from the same reason. However, these are common educational ways used by everybody pedagogical worker all the time. Application of other educational ways of rewards and punishments are very limited in nursery schools and another problem might also be the way of raising the child in the family itself. The children are mostly used to a completely different approach to their behaviour in their family than in the nursery school. The pedagogical workers use the mentioned rewards and punishments in the nursery school daily and most of the teachers regard them as essential. This Bachelor´s thesis might be benefitial for the pedagogical workers who raise and educate children in the nursery schools for children with special educational needs and for students who deal with these issues.

The role of special teacher in secondary education.
SVOBODOVÁ, Tereza
The undergraduate thesis deals with the subject of a school special pedagogical worker in secondary education. The objective of the research is to determine the significance, importance and need for employment of a school special pedagogical worker in secondary educational institutions; to establish if the employee is beneficial for the school, where he works, and if other pedagogical workers are satisfied with his or her work. In case of schools where is no school special pedagogical worker employed, I was interested what the reason is; if they are interested in finding someone for such a position and who is responsible for his or her duties in the mean time. It was necessary to have an expert's opinion on the subject, therefore I addressed a special pedagogical worker from a pedagogical and psychological counseling center. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part mostly concentrates on the school special pedagogical worker, his or her activities, education and groups of interest. The practical part comprises a qualitative research. As a method for obtaining information, a semi-structured interview was chosen. The group of interest consists of representatives of selected high schools in the Western and Southern Bohemia. Among the respondents there are representatives of school leadership, pedagogical workers, and of course a school special pedagogical worker. The results display that school special pedagogical workers are not desirable. One of the main reasons is the lack of financial resources. However, I see a bigger problem in insufficient awareness of pedagogical workers at high schools about a school pedagogical worker's scope of employment. Often I encountered switching of the two terms: a school special pedagogical worker and a careers master. Nevertheless, due to the planned inclusion, some of the high school workers are inclined to establish the position of a school special pedagogical worker in secondary education in future.
