How Children in Foster Homes Perceive Their Life Situation
SEKALOVÁ, Eva
In my bachelor's thesis, I deal with the issue of children placed in care institutions. The aim of the work is to find out the current view of children from children's homes, whether they feel their social disadvantage with respect to peers in the school environment, on social networks and during social events. The work is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes the functioning of the children's home, as a facility for institutional education, the area of social disadvantage and its impact on children at risk, and then discusses the approaches of social work related to the issue. In the practical part, a quantitative research strategy using a method of questioning is applied. The collection of research data took place in August to September 2019 using an anonymous questionnaire, to which 112 children, aged 7-18, from 11 children's homes from the South Bohemian, South Moravian and Moravian-Silesian regions responded. After processing and statistical evaluation of the data by the Chi-square method, applying a test of independence in the contingency table, my hypothesis was not confirmed, as only two out of fifteen questions showed a negative relationship between children's stay in the children's home and the behaviour of the environment. As a result, children from children's homes, in most cases, do not subjectively perceive their social disadvantage. This bachelor's thesis can provide an up to date information material for children's home management and it could also be used as a basis for further research on the subjective perception of children being placed in institutional care.

The thesis entitled The Well-being of children in children's homes starts with description of characteristics and legislation of institutional education, specifically in children's home. The thesis introduces negative influences in childhood and tries to describe their origin and influence on the child's life. The thesis contains a relatively new concept of well-being, which characterizes important areas of life. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to describe and characterize how the competencies related to areas of well-being are developed directly in the children's home and what are the barriers to fulfilling well-being. Nine respondents who work and interact directly with children in a children's home described the development and barriers to the development of these competencies. All respondents agreed that a big barrier to fulfill well-being is an unsuitable environment and rooms and other spaces where children live. Furthermore, they often mentioned insufficient social interaction with life outside the children's home, mental and psychological disorders that prevent children from further development, the absence of role models and traumatic experiences that children carry from the time they were in their families. According to the respondents, the fundamental barrier to the development of...

Outdoor activities bring mainly joy, fun and new experience to children. They think that they will get to know better their friends and strengthen the confidence among them during outdoor activities.
