The theoretical part also describes the possibilities of supporting the adaptation and inclusion of pupils with ASD in the school classroom. The practical part of the thesis is focused on the issue of adaptation of pupils with ASD through qualitative research. The aim of the research investigation is to find out how teaching staff support the adaptation of pupils with ASD to the school environment and its inclusion in the school classroom.

Classrooms with LGBT students: case studies
Vlková, Veronika ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Frombergerová, Anna (referee)
AJ This diploma thesis deals with secondary school class groups, where are students with a minority sexual orientation/students from the LGBT+ community. In the class collectives, peer relationships and the functioning of this entire class collective is examined with the attitude towards the LGBT community. In this diploma thesis, the focus is on the entire class collectives, not only on students with a minority sexual orientation/from the LGBT+ community or, conversely, students with a heterosexual orientation/cisgender identity. The research was conducted in the form of 2 case studies, specifically, a questionnaire survey, semi-structured interviews with a few randomly selected students and semi-structured interviews with class teachers were used. The goal of the research was not only to describe the entire class group, but also to grasp the LGBT+ topic more comprehensively and understand the situation that is based on the presence of a student from the LGBT+ community in the class group - from the point of view of students from the LGBT+ community, as well as students with a majority sexual orientation/identity. The research shows that good or functional peer relationships do not necessarily mean a positive attitude towards the LGBT+ community and vice versa. Students in both class groups...

Attachment and relationships with peers in the classroom during adolescence
BOROVSKÁ, Natálie
This thesis describes the relationships between peers and pupils position in a classroom environment during adolescence. The practical segment focused on a statistical analysis of the data gathered from the survey responses from 86 adolescents. We administered two questionnaires, IPPA for attachment to the mother, father and peers and SORAD which identified the pupil's position in the class. Our observations identified connections between Popularity and Trust in peers, Popularity and Alienation from peers, positive correlation between peer Trust and Influence and positive correlation between influence and the quality / quantity of peer communication. All the research findings include the peers who are considered very important to individuals during this sample period.

Pupil's temperament and social position in the classroom in early adolescence
ČEKALOVÁ, Bára
This bachelor thesis deals with temperament in the enviroment of school classroom. The main goal of this work is to discover the connection between temperament traits and social positions. The first part gathers already identified theoretical knowledge and already existing research about the connection. The second part examines this relationship in practice. The practical part consists of a quantitative study. The research sample consisted of a total of 75 pupils in the 6th and 7th grades of the Primary School. Temperament traits were determined using the EATQR questionnaire from Mary Rothbart and Les Eliss, social position using the Sociometric rating method of Vladimír Hrabal. To supplement the information, we analyzed the verbal statements of students about their classmates and compared them with a self-test questionnaire. The data were processed using Statistica 13 and Microsoft Excel. The results of the research showed that certain connections exist within this relationship, but they are not fully identical with the theoretical assumptions and previous research. In the total sample, we found connections between free control and extraversion. A statically significant positive relationship between extraversion and influence was found in a sample of boys. We did not find any significant relationship between temperament traits and social positions in the classroom in the group of girls. Verbal statements often included the evaluation of others according to marks or the evaluation of the teacher. Girls rated girls more positively and boys rated boys more positively. Inconsistencies often appeared between the self-test questionnaires and the results of the evaluation by others, which may be caused by stylization according to social desirability or a small research sample.

Struktura interakce mezi učitelem a žákem ve výuce anglického jazyka
DOLEJŠOVÁ, Lenka
In my Diploma Thesis I focused on the interaction between a student or students and a teacher in English classes and examined particular parts of IRF structure. The theoretical part explains features of IRF structure in detail and also describes the classroom environment and class talk and puts it to comparison with home talk. Practical part is built on recorded material which I gained in four different classes. I attempted to conclude how often the IRF structure happens, what types of initiation teachers use most, if the initiation leads to an appropriate response and last but not least how do teachers provide feedback. This Diploma Thesis should help to discover whether teachers produce any real questions or whether they only ask questions to which they know answers and also how often is Czech language used during English lessons.

Analysis of a social adaptation of handicapped students at specialised high school
Pokorná, Jitka ; Janošová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Syslová, Hana (referee)
In the theoretical part of this diploma thesis I dealt with the analysis of social adaptation of students with disabilities in high school with a special focus. I was interested in factors related to this issue. I tried to point out the possible pros and cons of involving these students in a special high school environment. I also pointed out the risk factors in the educational needs and limits of students with specific types of disabilities. The thesis also contains some recommendations for a suitable educational approach. The practical part contains research that was conducted qualitatively. For this purpose I chose the method of semi-structured interviews with nine respondents (students of one class from high school with a special focus), the age range of students was 18-28 years. I believe that thanks to the chosen procedure I had the opportunity to find out in more detail how students with disabilities subjectively perceive the environment in which they study, how they perceive ties in the class team, what support they see in their teachers and how they perceive the educational process at this particular school. Also where do students see possible obstacles or shortcomings and how they perceive evaluation (classic form of marking). The results of the interviews showed that students with...
