Rural Basic Schools: Attendace and Absenteeism of Their Pupils
Bočková, Alena ; Dvořák, Dominik (advisor) ; Laufková, Veronika (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the history and the presence of the schools in Dobronín, small village. The aim of the diploma thesis was to analyze the circumstances, the absence of the students, and the classes. It is a historical-comparative thesis. For all the needed information, I used the literature (both in electronic and book form), especially chronicles and school reports available at the school Dobronín and in District Archive in Jihlava. The diploma thesis focuses on the period 1882 - nowadays, and besides, contains the history of the time when just one small school with one class was allowed for the Czech children. Currently, there is an elementary school in Dobronín. Individual schooling in the focused burgher school is above expectations in comparison with other villages. Surprisingly, they have zero unexcused absence for the past few years. However, the historical resources shows that even though the students are present in the school, the teaching may be interrupted by both planned and unexpected events. Key words Czech school, German school, burgher school, country school, schooling, elementary school
