Teaching mathematics to elementary school with the interactive whiteboard - mathematical word exercise
ŠIPONOVÁ, Eliška
The aim of the offered dissertation is an attempt to create a material for teaching how to solve mathematical word exercises at an elementary school. This document is based on theoretical knowledge. The theoretical part of the dissertation documents the evolution of the mathematics from the antiquity untill these days. Basic information necessary for the development of an interactive textbook is grounded on theoretical findings in interactive boards and word exercises that have been published recently. The educational material was created in the program Activstudio 3 for the boards of the Activboard type and practically tested with the 8th grade students at the Plesivec elementary school. The other aim of this work is to see the response and attitudes of the students toward this kind of classwork, if it can help them to better grasp the word exercises solutions and to provide the teacher a useful tool for their work with an interactive board, since to create such a groundwork for the lessons by themselves can be very demanding on their time needed for the preparation for their lessons.

System of the prevention of social-pathological illnesses and implementation of the system at primary schools
ONDRÁČKOVÁ, Kateřina
Our diploma thesis entitled ?The system of prevention of social and pathological phenomena and its implementation at elementary schools? engages in the analysis of possibilities and conditions for and approaches to the implementation of primary pre-vention at elementary schools. The objective of the present diploma is to describe how systems of primary prevention work on the regional and school levels; accordingly, we have performed a comparison of different approaches to this issue at selected schools in the regions of South Bohemia and Pardubice. We have analyzed programmes of the aforesaid regions on the conceptual level, observing the implementation of preventive programmes at particular schools (such as elementary or special). Furthermore, we have examined the assistance as actually pro-vided to schools during the formation of school preventive programmes and their influ-ence on pupils or students as such. We are also interested in how the possibilities that are on offer for the cooperation among schools are utilized and how schools make use of grant programmes provided by regional authorities. The present thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theo-retical part first characterizes and defines basic terms, explaining the most common so-cial and pathological phenomena with the largest impact on the young. Second, a men-tion is made of the system of prevention at both the school and regional levels. Accord-ingly, the practical part focuses on the analysis of school activities in the area of preven-tion, particularly the methodology of prevention, the support of the formation of preven-tive programmes and the influence such programmes have on children. The conclusion summarizes presuppositions and hypotheses which are men-tioned in the introduction. A sociological survey has been conducted at selected schools by means of questionnaires, which will be evaluated at the end of our thesis.

Senior Primary School Pupils{\crq} Awareness of Possibilities to Solve Their Problems with the Occurrence of Pathological Phenomena (Moravské Budějovice, Czechia)
BŘEZINOVÁ, Kristýna
The term ``social pathological phenomena{\crqq} is defined as most serious disorders in behaviour of children and youth. Society finds these disorders negative as they bring many personal problems to the perpetrators in their families, at school as well as in broader social environment. These behaviour disorders particularly result in breaking social standards and penal law. The main goal of the present thesis was to ascertain awareness of senior pupils at primary schools in the region of Moravské Budějovice, Czechia, of possibilities to solve their problems with the occurrence of pathological phenomena, that is, whether they know whom to turn to if they encounter problems with social pathological phenomena. Sub-goal No 1 was to ascertain who informs senior primary school pupils of possibilities to solve their problems with the occurrence of pathological phenomena. Sub-goal No 2 was to describe social pathological phenomena with senior pupils at primary school. In order to get an overview of the problem, the author used quantitative research, namely the method of questioning, the questionnaire technique and the documents analysis method, then also the technique of secondary analysis of data from related documents kept at a body of social protection of children. Questionnaires were distributed among senior pupils in selected classes of primary schools, among their class teachers and pedagogic instructors in the selected primary schools in the region of Moravské Budějovice. In relation to the presented sub-goals of the thesis, the following two hypotheses were formulated. Supposed Hypothesis No 1 ``I assume that basic information is given mainly by class teachers, prevention methodists and pedagogic instructors{\crqq} was confirmed. The questionnaire results show that the group of pupils researched were mostly instructed by teachers. Supposed Hypothesis No 2 ``Social pathological phenomena are taken as a social problem which is difficult to solve in the aforementioned region{\crqq} was not confirmed. The research shows that teachers and instructors in the selected primary schools are very successful in dealing with the problems of social pathological phenomena. Therefore, we may conclude that the endeavour of schools in the field of occurrence of those phenomena and their prevention is on a very good level in the period tested.

Evaluation of primary prevention in elementary schools.
PRŮCHOVÁ, Dominika
The target of primary prevention is to discourage from the risk behaviour or to postpone the risky behaviour into the later age. For this reason, mechanisms of the primary prevention were laid down, where the schools and school facilities were determined as main executor. The main factor participating in creating the attitudes and education of children is doubtlessly the family, however, it often fails in the preventive acting connected to risky behaviour. Each elementary school is obliged to elaborate the so-called {\clq}minimum preventive program``, based on the metodical instruction of the Ministry of Schools, Youth and Sports. I am trying to find out this thesis, to which extent the measures taken by the school environment are effective. The target of the thesis was to Map primary prevention activities in elementary schools on the basis of their timeliness and the prevention of representation selected to perform the evaluation of risk-taking behaviour. I believe that the target of the thesis was achieved.

A Selected Risk Behavior a Socially Undesirable Phenomenon by Children at Elementary School
SUCHELOVÁ, Markéta
The thesis deals with selected risk behaviour and socially undesirable phenomena in elementary school children. The data for the thesis were collected in ninth classes of elementary schools in the regions of South Bohemia, Central Bohemia and Ústí. Quantitative research, questioning method, the technique of anonymous questionnaire were used to ascertain the data; preset hypotheses are verified or falsified on the base of evaluation of the questionnaire. The respondents filled out the questionnaires at school, but with exclusion of the authority close to them, in order to obtain as high validity of data as possible. The thesis has a theoretical part describing individual selected phenomena, previous statistics of their incidence and the current period of life of the respondents. The practical part sets goals and describes the actual research and discussion with authors I have drawn from. The goal of the work was to map the incidence and extent of the selected phenomena of pupils of ninth classes of elementary schools. Partial goals were to select the phenomena among the individual regions and to compare the data with implemented prevention. The research shows that the selected phenomena occur in all regions; none of the phenomena is absent in any of the regions. Use of legal, socially tolerated substances, i.e. alcohol and tobacco, is most frequently represented. Each of the selected reasons is more endangered in another form of risk behaviour than the other regions. The Region of South Bohemia appears as the most risky one, with the highest experience of pupils with illegal drugs, both in the number of cases experience and in the frequency of use. The research also shows that the implementation of primary prevention comes late for almost all forms of selected risk behaviour, often only after the pupils have engaged themselves, or shortly before. The results of the thesis can be used in practice, e.g. by instructors of primary prevention, by school methodologists to set up Minimum preventive programs and last but not least for teaching and for the need of other research.

The knowledge and experience in the area of drugs by the pupils living in town and village
MALÁ, Eliška
The subject of my Bachelor work is Drug Knowledge and Experience of Elementary School Children in Villages and Towns. Currently, drugs are worldwide issue affecting everybody. In the Czech Republic we still do not manage to effectively influence standpoints and habits of adult population in relation to drug abuse. Unfortunately situation is even worse in case of youth, since current society does not have enough will to effectively enforce legal restrictions concerning limited access to drugs. Currently there is not enough support for healthy living style education in school environment. Healthy style of living is not promoted sufficiently even in free time activity organizations for children and youth. Unfortunately even parents are not always suitable example for their adolescent children as concerns abuse of addictive substances. By Bachelor work investigates how much environment where children grow affect them in their standpoint to drug abuse. The objective of my research is to find out what drug knowledge and experience have pupils of 9th year-classes in villages and towns, followed by assessment of how much such drug knowledge and experience are different for respondents from villages and towns. In order to achieve this objective I have set up three hypothesis, on the basis of which quantitative research in form of anonymous questionnaires has been selected. The questionnaire was designed to find out at what age respondents had their first experience with individual drugs, drug abuse, how much respondents are informed on drug legislative, drug prevention and how well they know drug terminology. The questionnaire included 31 questions. Respondents were pupils in 9th year-classes of elementary schools in České Budějovice, Strakonice, Katovice and Volenice. In total 298 questionnaires have been distributes and there was 100% yield. The research result confirmed my hypothesis. The first hypothesis assumed that elementary school pupils in towns have more drug knowledge and experience than village school children. This assumption has been confirmed. Questions concerning drug knowledge of respondents have been more often answered correctly by town respondents. The second hypothesis assumed that town elementary school pupils have more own experience with illegal drug abuse than village school pupils. This hypothesis has been confirmed as well. Experience with an illegal drug have 1,6% town respondents more than village respondents. The third hypothesis assumed that village elementary school pupils have more experience with legal drug use than town pupils. Also this third hypothesis has been confirmed. Experience with an legal drug have 5,7% village respondents more than town respondents. Therefore the research confirmed that there are differences not only in knowledge, but also in use of addictive substances between elementary school pupils from villages and towns.

Crime and juvenile delinquency in basic schools in the Klatovy District.
BLÁHOVÁ, Václava
This dissertation looks at crime and juvenile delinquency in basic schools in the Klatovy District. The theoretical section gives a concise appraisal of Act No. 218/2003 Coll., on Juvenile Justice, as well as the internal and external factors potentially influencing the socially pathological behaviour of young people. The study examines current patterns of youth criminality in the Czech Republic and developing trends connected with the issue over recent years, which it then briefly compares to the wider EU experience. The possibilities for intervention work by government departments dealing with education, the police and the justice system with young people at risk is studied in the subsequent chapter. The overall aim of the dissertation is to map the occurrence of predominantly minor offences and juvenile delinquency at basic schools in the Klatovy District in terms of gender, as I suspect that this indicator will feature strongly in the structure of socially pathological youth behaviour. Research was used to determine young people{\crq}s awareness regarding liability for their actions, and what kinds of offences or delinquent activities they most frequently perpetrate. An anonymous questionnaire with 32 closed, half-open and open format questions was used to collect data, and was presented to 303 respondents in years 7, 8 and 9 at five different basic schools. Of the total number of students, 49% were female and 51% male. Schools were deliberately chosen to fulfil the task set by the dissertation, i.e. the question of gender was a primary concern. The aim of the questionnaire was to find out what kinds of socially pathological activities are perpetrated by youths at basic school, and based on the subsequent findings, to decide whether current intervention work with young people at risk in the Klatovy District is sufficient. The research itself corresponds in several areas with data available from the Youth Crime Prevention Officer. In particular, it confirms that delinquency often involves driving motor vehicles without driving licences and the consumption of alcohol. The survey investigation demonstrated young people{\crq}s ignorance of the various age thresholds of criminal liability for their actions, the ascendancy of petty theft, aggression towards classmates and the consumption of illegal drugs. The research points to the conclusion that intervention and work with these groups of young people at risk in the Klatovy District, in terms of preventing illegal drug use and therapy, is insufficient, which similarly applies to the prevention of petty theft, consumption of alcohol, bullying and driving without a valid licence. The elimination of such pathological behaviour will only be successful provided that closer contact is established between school students and prevention workers (school psychologists, counsellors, etc.), as well as other potential organisations, such as the Czech Police, anti-drug co-ordinators and social workers.

Výskyt vybraného rizikového chování u žáků základních škol v okresech Louny a České Budějovice
NOVÁKOVÁ, Eva
Risk behaviour is considered one of the very serious problems of present social development. It has been developing dynamically and the methods used to solve it cannot be evaluated as efficient. This statement does not only apply for the Czech Republic but it affects the whole present society. We are therefore dealing with an international problem. Risk behaviour includes a wide scale of problems representing a great risk in children and youth at present and it has been dealt with by many experts. This phenomenon has been developing without cease and in our society it is a very up to date and discussed issue that should get more attention and more prevention. The diploma thesis consists of a theoretic and a practical part. The theoretic part consists of studied secondary literature and other materials and sources. To carry out the research several methods of collecting data were chosen: quantitative research methods, questioning method, data collection by means of a questionnaire. In the questionnaire several question types were applied: closed questions, semi-open questions, controlling questions and questions the evaluation of which was carried out by means of an evaluating scale. The research file for the questionnaire survey was made up by students of 9th grades of primary schools in the districts of České Budějovice and Louny. In total 593 questionnaires were handed out and filled out in both districts (404 questionnaires in České Budějovice and 189 questionnaires in Louny. The research aimed at providing an account concerning the occurrence of chosen risk behaviour in students of 9th grades of primary schools in the districts of České Budějovice and Louny and at compiling the obtained data and at comparing them mutually. The paper further aimed at finding out sources of information concerning chosen forms of risk behaviour and the rate of impact these sources may have in affecting students of 9th grades of schools in the districts of České Budějovice and Louny and how these sources can motivate students to take part in risk behaviour. To achieve the set goals the following hypotheses have been set: H1: The chosen risk behaviour occurs in a higher rate in students of primary schools in the district of Louny. H2: Information from media, the Internet and friends are for students of 9th grades of primary schools in the districts of České Budějovice and Louny more motivating to take part in chosen forms of risk behaviour than information obtained at school, from the family, lectures and meetings. Results of this paper may serve as information material for headmasters and teachers to achieve better awareness concerning the given issue at chosen primary schools in the districts of České Budějovice and Louny. Further it can be used as a basis for more efficient prevention at the given schools or as material for the needs of teaching and further research.

Behaviour disorders - bullying
VLKOVÁ, Kateřina
Aggression and bullying currently represent a threat that is present in children´s lives from the early years of school attendance and can aggravate with their age. The problem does not concern the children alone but also the adults and the whole society. The aim of this thesis titled Behaviour disorders {--} bullying was to find out what the experience with bullying was among the 9th graders of cooperating basic schools in Tábor, as well as to describe how these problems are dealt with by the teachers at the schools in question. Dealing with these problems and stopping vexation at the level of the entire society is a complicated, long-term process. It is necessary to start the education early and familiarise the children with moral and social rules. The inevitable precondition is the cooperation of all subjects involved in this process. They have to be informed on the causes, forms, prevention methods and consequences related to the problem.
