Agricultural literacy - a knowledge probe for primary schools
BOČKOVÁ, Natálie
The aim of this thesis is to determine the level of agricultural literacy among fifth grade primary school students attending schools located in rural areas. The topic of the thesis was motivated by the lack of attention to this issue in the Czech environment. Despite the fact that some topics related to agricultural literacy are included in the Framework Educational Programme (RVP ZV), the very concept of agricultural literacy is relatively new in the Czech Republic. The literature section focuses on the landscape and its functions in relation to agricultural literacy, the definition of the term 'agricultural literacy' itself and the development of its inclusion in the curriculum. At the same time, the thesis analyses the RVP and the occurrence of topics aimed at strengthening agricultural literacy in pupils. Last but not least, the thesis offers an overview of teaching methods and forms that could contribute to the formation of an agriculturally literate society from the beginning of school attendance. The methodological part contains basic information about the respondents participating in the survey and information about the questionnaire design. Furthermore, the process of measurement is written in this part of the thesis. The results and subsequent comparison with research conducted with a different set of respondents is recorded in the final part of the thesis.

Bočková, Natálie ; Vyšínová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Juríková, Laura (referee)
This thesis focuses on coping mechanisms of clients of young offenders' institutions or detention centres for adolescents aged 15 - 18 in Czech Republic, locally known as výchovné ústavy. In its theoretical part we first go through a swift overview of a few main coping theories, but mainly we focus on connections between coping and selected personality traits and situational factors that are crucial for the clients, such as adolescent age, mental health, socioeconomical and family background and coping in context of the detention facility. Also, we explain the system of minor correction facilities in Czech Republic. The design of the research proposal is mixed. Firstly, we propose to use coping strategies questionnaire SVF 78 to examine the differences between population of the clients and standards for general Czech population and also between the groups of girls and boys among the clients. Secondly, we formulate questions for qualitative half structured interviews that focus on the coping mechanisms of the clients in a situational context and connecting the coping with a particular stressors that the clients themselves perceive as main in their lives.
