Nosková, Marie ; Frombergerová, Anna (advisor) ; Macháčková, Marcela (referee)
The right to sex education is part of the right to information and education and thus represents a part of human rights.

The aim of this study was to investigate the experiences of teachers, who also act as prevention methodologists, in the field of sex education and to find out what form sex education takes in selected primary schools. Seven respondents from primary schools in rural areas of the central part of Czech republic participated in the research. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, which was then analyzed using thematic analysis. The data shows that the sex education provided is inconsistent and unstructured.

Scheithauerová, Lenka ; Marádová, Eva (advisor) ; Kovaříková, Miroslava (referee) ; Šulová, Lenka (referee)
The research yielded in the field fails to explain how reproductive health education has been implemented in primary schools during the 1990s, and how it fulfilled the initial expectations with which it was introduced, from the perspective of its participants. The objective of the presented dissertation is to propose further potential steps towards the advancement of this domain and to identify topics suitable for further research in the field of reproductive health education on the basis of a survey of available sources, current research and presented research. The project examines the issue through the perspective of respondents from two countries: the Czech Republic and Spain. These two European nations implemented reproductive health education during the same period, yet with distinct approaches. Spain, with its strong Catholic tradition, contrasts with the Czech Republic, which registers a relatively low proportion of individuals with declared religious affiliation, according to statistical data from the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ) in 2021. The research participants consist of current adolescents and young adults aged 15 to 26 from the Czech Republic and Spain, who attended primary school during the systematic introduction of reproductive health education. The study aimed to investigate how...
