Försterová, Anna ; Dostálová, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Vronský, Jiří (referee)
The thesis focuses on the attitudes of seniors towards active ageing in the region of Kolín and explores their views on this issue in the context of education and leisure activities. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the concepts of old age and ageing with emphasis on the concept of active ageing and describes its impact on the life of seniors. It also highlights the importance of lifelong learning and education of older individuals. The empirical part uses qualitative research, specifically semi-structured interviews with a total of eight participants. The aim of the work was to ascertain how people in old age imagine active ageing and how they involve themselves in this process. It was found that for these people, active and healthy ageing is particularly associated with the need to maintain physical and mental activity. Furthermore, the motivation of the research participants to participate in activities related to active ageing was analysed. This is related to their interest in new information and the need for social interaction. Accessibility of the venue and the health status of the elderly individuals were identified as the most significant barriers to participation in organized programs. The interviews also led to an assessment of the importance of educational and leisure...

Vývoj sociální péče a formy vzdělávaní seniorů v ČR
Foltýn, Jan
The presented work deals with the issue of life of seniors in the Czech Republic. There are a number of changes associated with aging that affect an individual's quality of life. These are physical, psychological and social changes that manifest themselves in all areas of an individual's life. Probably the biggest change is retirement, which is accompanied by the search for a new meaning of life. The opportunity to study can help in this regard. Seniors can use a variety of forms of further education. However, they most often look for educational activities carried out within universities of the third age. In the presented work, the relationship between the quality of life of seniors and education within U3V will be determined. For this purpose, the data of the Czech Statistical Office concerning the quality of life of seniors will be analysed and a questionnaire survey among seniors will be carried out. The aim will be to find out the difference between perception of the quality of life of seniors attending universities of the third age and seniors who do not study at the universities of the third age.
