Influence of Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment training to it's graduates
Bublíková, Irena ; Váňová, Eva (advisor) ; Klusák, Miroslav (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the influence of the Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment training to it's graduates. The first part represents the creator of the method and his approach to the development of cognitive functions. Further on the theoretical background of the Instrumental Enrichment. I deal primarily with theorie of structural cognitive modifiability and mediated learning experience. At the end of the first part I describe in detail the progress of the Instrumental Enrichment training. In the second part I present my own research, which aims to describe how to use the method of graduates and whether they transformated personally influenced by the course and a change in the way they work. In the discussion I compare the results with research of Ludmila Májová (Májová, 2011) and Nigel Blagg (Blagg, 1991).

Influence of Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment on the development of children cognitive abilities
Pokorná, Daniela ; Váňová, Eva (advisor) ; Klusák, Miroslav (referee)
In the theoretical part, this work deals with the problem of comparison between Feuerstein cognitive function and partial cognitive abilities which are mentioned at the Educational Interpretations of the WISC-III. Research study follows up changes in partial cognitive abilities which could be viewed as a consequence of FIE (Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment) intervention lasting several months. By comparison of pre-test and post-test, which is realized by WISC-III and processed with Educational Interpretations of the WISC- III the study tries to describe impact of the method to child's cognitive functions as well as its school successfulness, self-concept, and behavior. Study also pursues possibility to use factor analysis of WISC-III for planning of the FIE intervention. Information was taken from tests, questionnaires for teachers, videos and records of FIE lessons. Research was realized at the Elementary school in a small town with 1700 inhabitants, nearby to Prague. This was the only school in this town. We noticed more or less significant changes in all areas of interest. In some cases, there was agreement in the test results and teacher's evaluation whereas in other there were differences.

The effect of mediated learning on the development of cognitive functions of younger school-age children
Janoušková, Lenka ; Šírová, Eva (advisor) ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (referee)
The thesis is concerned with the application of Feuerstein's theory of mediated learning experience to teaching in the first year of primary school. It summarises basic information about Feuerstein's work, the theories of mediated learning experience and structural cognitive modifiability. It also deals with the application of mediated learning experience to teaching in the first year of primary school. In this respect, it characterises the period of early school age and the role of the teacher. The central theme of the work, the theory of mediated learning experience, is an approach targeted at the process and structure of thought. The application of this theory is aimed at the individual's general cognitive development, especially the development of the thinking process. The principal goal of the thesis is to introduce the possibilities of applying the theory of mediated learning to teaching in school and thus contribute to the spread of this methodology only recently introduced to the Czech Republic, which can be considered a helpful and meaningful way to enrich teaching and support the children's cognitive development.

The development of cognitive function by the children with specific educational needs - the Feuerstein's instrumental enrichment
Miková, Tereza ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Gillernová, Ilona (referee)
The instrumental enrichment is a worldwide extended method of cognitive functions development, which has been used in the Czech Republic since 2000. Its author, Reuven Feuerstein, is strongly convinced that human being is able to modify oneself and to develop one's abilities. This method is based on elaborated theoretical concepts - especially on the theory of structural cognitive modifiability and mediated learning. This Diploma Thesis brings essentials information about the concepts related to the cognitive modifiability and considers tools of its application. In the qualitative study, we focus on Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment. In the course of ten moths we observed six clients of the DYS-Centrum Praha we attempted to map changes (or their manifestations) which might have appeared during the intervention. We acquired data by the process of observation (participative observation and video-analysis) and via semistructured interviews. We were interested in changes of cognitive functions manifestations, quality of language, quality of autonomous work and ability to process with the information efficiently. We registered changes in each of these areas. Some of them, were notable only during the FIE lessons, others also displayed at home or at school environment. Key words: cognitive...

The Support of Cognitive Skills Development of the Clients of the Social Services in the metropolis
PEJŠOVÁ, Martina
This final thesis is focused on analysing the support of cognitive development of the clients of a social services centre through its activities which are aimed at a concrete target group senior citizens. The aim of the thesis is to find out whether the senior citizens' cognitive skills are developed through these activities or whether these activities have other meanings for the clients. Another aim is to find out whether the criteria concerning development of cognitive skills, the way they were defined by Reuven Feuerstein, are fulfilled. Another part of the thesis is also a description of the activities held by the social services centre so that a reader could understand the results better.

Cognitive development of children from first to fifth grafe of primary school
ŠVECOVÁ, Kateřina
Bachelor thesis is focused on development of schoolchildren´s cognitive functions. Thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part is describing individual cognitive development. Various theories of cognitive development are described here along with detailed charcteristic of schoolchildren period. After that is introduced Reuven Feuerstein theory and his program of instrumental enrichment, possibility of cognitive modifiability and experience by mediated learning. Final chapter in theoretical part describes methods of practical application in cognitive function development. At the end of this chapter are introduced another posibilities of cognitive function development Aim of practical part is to diagnose cognitive function development of information selection by children in second grade of primary school. Second aim is focused on posibilities of pedagogue development during mediated learning method. These goals were achieved by qualitative research using participant observation.
