Relationship of Competitive Anxiety Intensity and Direction to an Amount of Experience and Competitive Level in Alpine Skiing
Píša, Martin ; Chalupová, Eva (advisor) ; Perič, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis deals with the differences in the intensity and the direction of competitive anxiety among ski racers with different amount of experience at various competitive levels. The participants of the research were male adult and junior alpine skiers performing at various competitive levels (n= 66; M = 21,50; SD = 4,02). The participants completed the CSAI-2 inventory including additional direction subscales (Jones, Swain, 1992). Neither multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) nor two-way univariate analysis of variance (two-way ANOVA) revealed any significant interaction or main effects of the amount of experience on the competitive anxiety intensity and direction. The MANOVAs and ANOVAs revealed significant main effects of competitive level on the cognitive and somatic anxiety direction and the self-confidence intensity and direction. The two way ANOVAs revealed a significant interaction effect of the amount of experience and the competitive level on the self-confidence intensity. No differences were found among ski racers at various competitive levels in the intensity or the direction of competitive anxiety and the self-confidence intensity and direction. Furthermore, although no differences in the competitive anxiety intensity were revealed about ski racers at various competitive levels,...

Strategies for Overcoming Barriers to Participation in Adult Education
Píša, Martin ; Kopecký, Martin (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of barriers to participation in adult education. Survey, which investigates the strategies used for overcoming the barriers to participation in adult education by parents on parental leave, has been prepared on the basis of the contemporary theoretical knowledge on barriers to participation in adult education and inequalities in participation in adult education. Parents on parental leave are one of the groups with uneven access to adult education and they are deterred from participation in education because of situational barriers. Research participants (n = 6, M = 34.5) participated in semi-structured interview, which consists of seven topics related to the respondent's personal history, his academic and professional career and the circumstances of his life. Based on the data, the conditions and mechanisms that help to overcome group-specific barriers to participation in adult education were identified. On the basis of the common elements of respondents' answers the economically oriented strategy for overcoming barriers and the alternative strategy for overcoming barriers were defined. Key words: adult education, continuing education, lifelong learning, lifelong education, barriers to participation in adult education, deterrents to participation in adult education,...
