Houdková, Pavlína ; Vrzáček, Petr (advisor) ; Hájková, Vanda (referee)
Preschool education is quite underestimated but it is an important and integral part of the educational system. The quality of education in kindergartens is reflected in the preparedness of children entering elementary school. A top class kindergarten, with a sound educational program is the result of the efforts of all its employees. The management of such a kindergarten plays a significant role in its success. This thesis deals with specific management of kindergartens and the approach of the headmaster to individual elements of management. The theoretical part consists of management terminology definitions and explanations and the placement kindergarten education in the scope of the Czech educational system and its development. The practical part of this thesis is dedicated to discovering the relationships between the educational programs in kindergartens with the style of their management. The goal of this work was to discover, what factors effect the style of kindergarten management, if there has been a change in the conditions of kindergarten management, and what is the relationship between the curriculum, climate and management of kindergartens. In order to fulfil the goals of this thesis I utilised both a quantitative and a qualitative approach to my research. The research took place within...
The assessment of the benefits of activation services of educational programmes for people entering the labour market
HOUDKOVÁ, Pavlína
This paper deals with the aspects of working with the unemployed, their views and impacts of services that are offered to jobseekers. The theoretical part deals with the explanations and definitions of the basic concepts of unemployment and employment policy. It deals with health and social consequences of unemployment and the situation of the unemployed. The objective was to determine whether the activation of clients through additional services is beneficial and causes positive changes in the views of the unemployed. Furthermore, to map what other additional activation services are important to jobseekers and which of these services are made available to them through employment offices. To achieve the objectives I used the combination of a quantitative and qualitative research, called the mixed-type research. In the research part, I worked with a total of three groups of respondents. It was a group of jobseekers in the questioning to map services for the unemployed. I used a research group and a control group to find out about the benefits of additional activating services. The research group consisted of participants in training courses with additional activation services. The control group consisted of jobseekers who had participated in retraining courses without activation services. The questioning took place at the beginning of the course and at its end. The responses to the questions were compared within each group and also between them. Through testing defined null hypotheses and by comparing the values I found that the motivation of the trainees with additional activation services to seek a job is greater than in the control group. Additional activation services are therefore beneficial. The questioning to map services for the unemployed showed a lack of supply offered by employment offices to the unemployed. Jobseekers declared an interest in these services. Based on the factors identified, it would be beneficial in the future to extend the standard training courses by adding motivational and self-development activities. Employment offices should promote their services with an emphasis on individual groups of jobseekers. To offer, on a regular basis, activities aimed at the acquisition of practical skills necessary for successful job search.
