Utilization of supervision in facilities providing social services.
ŠTOČKOVÁ, Šárka
In its theoretic part, this dissertation thesis endeavors to describe the area relating to supervision in the most comprehensive way, particularly, supervision in social services. It clarifies basic terms relativ to this subjekt, which are supervision and social services. In its practical part, there are presented the results of the research, which was conducted using questionnaire investigation. The guestionnaires were sent to all facilities in the Vysočina Region which are considered as social services providers. The goal of the research was to find out the amount of social services providers using supervision. Further goal was to ascertain what kind of supervision is used most frequently as well as what the purpose of the supervision is according to the employees working in facilities providing social services. The goals of this thesis were achieved. This thesis has set three working hypotheses. Two hypotheses were confirmed, namely hypothesis No. 1 ? ?the most frequently used supervision is the group case supervision? and No. 2 ? ?supervision is used in facilities providing social services?. Based on the data obtained from the research, hypothesis No. 3 was disproved ? ?workers in the facilities providing social services assume that supervision is only a new type of control?. This thesis may represent a basis for implementing supervision into facilities where it is not yet implemented, not only to the extent of Vysočina Region. Further, it may serve as stimulation for a change or a modification of already applied supervision in facilities providing social services. It may also serve as a first step for similar research in another region and then for possible comparison, enabling to ascertain how the supervision is spread in different regions of the Czech Republic. And last but not least, the thesis may serve as a study material for students of the fields related to social work.

Pleoptic and orthoptic training for visually impaired children in preschool age.
ŠTOČKOVÁ, Šárka
The theoretical part of this bachelor's paper is aimed at the development of visual perception since the child{\crq}s birth until pre-school age, and further at pleoptic and orthoptic training. The paper also mentions the anatomy of the organ of vision, and the eyesight impairments of childhood. The theoretical part examines in more detail binocular vision, as pleoptic and orthoptic training are aimed exactly at binocular vision impairments (strabismus and amblyopia). The practical part presents the results of the research, which was focused on eye/hand coordination of pre-school children in an ordinary nursery school and in a nursery school for visually impaired children. The research part was performed by means of controlled observations in both types of nursery school. In total, 200 controlled observations were performed. The objective of this bachelor's paper is to establish the level of visual coordination of children in a nursery school for visually impaired and in an ordinary nursery school. My hypothesis was stated as follows: ``Because children in a nursery school for visually impaired develop visual coordination also by means of pleoptic and orthoptic training, they have better visual coordination compared to children in an ordinary nursery school, who develop visual coordination only through games and drawing{\crqq}. Upon comparison of the results from the two nursery schools, the research has proven that children of pre-school age in a nursery school for visually impaired have better eye/hand coordination than children of the same age in an ordinary nursery school. Thus, my hypothesis proved true. The paper could serve as a study material, as those issues are not comprehensively elaborated in any publication.
