Dousková, Eliška ; Kropáčková, Jana (advisor) ; Rychlíková, Marie (referee)
There are currently increasingly debated issues of entering the schooling, especially in the terms of levels of preparedness to enter the first grade and the school's requirements on the first- graders.

It is the best for the first-graders do all these changes without undue frustration, it is necessary that their physical, mental and neural development and readiness were on sufficient level. Because of extensiveness of this topic, only the part of it was selected for this thesis, as its name says: The level of graphomotor skills of preschool children before entering elementary school. The area of graphomotor skills is presented in the context of writing skills throughout this thesis. The legislative definition of compulsory school attendance and the issue of writing as an essential part of literacy is covered within the theoretical part. The topic of entry into the first grade and the school preparedness of children are explained. The area of graphomotor skills in the terms of the development, in the terms of relation to the coarse and fine motor skills, laterality and external conditions which affect graphomotor skills is covered in detail. The significance...

Educational Assessment of graphomotor skills and their development in preschool children
Bekečová, Pavlína ; Felcmanová, Lenka (advisor) ; Mlčková, Marie (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with problems of pedagogical diagnostics of the writing-motoric and visual-motoric functions and possibilities of their development in the practice of the kindergarten teacher. There are the starting points clarified in the theoretical part, which relate to the objectives, tasks, methods, forms and content of preschool education in the context of school maturity. The school readiness and its fields with a narrower focus on monitored sub- components of a school maturity and also the action and the influence of the kindergarten in this area is clarified and described. Also the professional competencies and duties of the preschool teacher are defined here. The concept of pedagogical diagnostics, the theoretical foundations of methods and instruments of pedagogical diagnostics are analyzed in details. A direct diagnostic activity in combination with the theoretical bases and approaches is stressed here. These theoretical findings are further applied in the practical with a focus on writing- motoric and visual-motoric function. The main research problem addressed in the practical part of this work are the options and ways to support children's development in the last year of kindergarten before the start of compulsory schooling and finding ways to contribute as much as possible...

Signature of Preschool Age Children
Medová, Julie ; Viktorová, Ida (advisor) ; Presslerová, Pavla (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on a research of preschool aged children's signature. It consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part there is an analysis of preschool age and its characteristics from the emotional, graphomotor and sensual evolution including socialization process. Further it deals with various researches studying the topic of evolution of children's signature and preferring individual letters of their names. The basis of this work is the empirical part, whose goal is to find out the children's skills while writing the name, its special status in children's writing and reading skills, knowledge of letters and uniqueness of letters contained in their names from the beginning of their school attendance when they are not mostly able to read and write. The research is based on methods of questioning using the worksheets with tasks, semi-structured interview with chosen children and follow-up analysis of signatures. In the interviews I have been finding out answers in four categories of questions. First category of questions is directly related to own signature, whether a child manages to read his or her signature again and decode individual letters. In the second category, I focus on the development of signature and who taught the child to sign...

The thesis is focused on the description, monitoring and stimulation graphomotorics development of preschool children. It is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part deals with the development of the individual in preschoolers, hygiene and work habits which are important for graphomotorical development. It also discusses the development of graphomotorics and drawings. It also includes a description of graphomotor difficulties and subsequently programs that help stimulate graphomotorics development. The practical part consists of a qualitative research whose objective is to monitor a description of the effect graphomotoric stimulation in children attending a particular graphomotorical course.

Musical activities in the development of graphomotor skills during the lateralization of preschool children
Matulová, Veronika ; Kmentová, Milena (advisor) ; Koželuhová, Eva (referee)
The subject of the thesis is the use of musical activities in the development of graphomotor skills of preschool children. The theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to the problem of harmonization of music and movement at the level of gross and fine motor skills. It also deals with the issue of laterality and its distinctness. The practical part contains a detailed case study of a boy with a disadvantageous type of laterality and follows the development of his graphomotor skills during 15 lessons, the core of which are musical activities for the development of graphomotor skills of preschool children. I used multiple complementary research methods in the in-depth case study, which were participant observation, mother interview, open-ended questionnaire, family and personal history, and PPP report. The action research was conducted over a ten-month period, with the boys being 4 years and 3 months old at the start of the research. The practical part of the thesis analyses the action research data and evaluates the overall impact of specific musical activities in the development of preschool children's graphomotor skills.

The Significance of Supporting Communication Skills with Graphomotorics in People with Aphasia in the Context of Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Improving the Quality of Life of People with Stroke
Donevová, Monika
The thesis is focused on the support of communication skills by graphomotorics in the context of comprehensive rehabilitation, on the improvement of the quality of life of people with aphasia after stroke and the support in their families. The main aim of this work is to monitor the development of influence of special pedagogical intervention on strengthening graphomotorics and supporting communication skills. The sub-goals are to design a program of special pedagogical intervention for people after a stroke and evaluation of the effectiveness of a special pedagogical intervention in robotically assisted rehabilitation and distance rehabilitation led by a special pedagogue. We set research questions. The target group consists of 34 people aged 45 to 75 years, 3-50 months after a stroke, with an affected dominant hand and a diagnosis of aphasia located in follow-up institutional care and outpatient care. For empirical research, we chose an observation, an interview, and an experiment. In the participatory research, we involved the researched person in the role of a researcher. Through exploratory research, we addressed robotically assisted rehabilitation and distance rehabilitation. The research used a record sheet for special pedagogical diagnostics of fine motor skills, a functional communication...
