Panušová, Lenka ; Frainšic, Michal (advisor) ; Vomáčko, Ladislav (referee)
Title: Influence of Cooperative Games on Social Atmosphere in the Class Objectives: The goal of the thesis is to detect the importance of influence of a half-day cooperative program on relationships within one class and subsequent perception of social atmosphere in the class. Methods: The standardized questionnaire "Hodnotenie sociálnej atmosféry v triede" was used for data acquisition. 72 respondents of first three years of Jan Neruda Grammar School in Prague participated on the research. Statistic methods like arithmetic average, modus or median were used for data evaluation. Results: The positive shift in evaluation of social atmosphere in the class was visible in all analysed groups. Nevertheless in the control group 1.D. where the cooperative program was not used there was a more significant improvement than in one of experimental groups. We proved that a half-day program of cooperative games is not sufficient for fulfilment of intentions to influence relationships within the class, but it can point out the deficiencies of social atmosphere in the class. Keywords: cooperation, communication, group dynamics, cooperative learning, class environment

Monitoring Accuracy as a Skill in Academic Performance
Pešout, Ondřej ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Mertin, Václav (referee)
This study has aimed to investigate monitoring accuracy as a skill in an academic performance. First part of the study defined metacognitive monitoring theoretically as a strategy evolved from metacognitive strategies and based on self-regulated learning principles. Previous studies assert that monitoring accuracy is a beneficial skill that enhances performance regardless a domain of use. In order to give those claims empirical support in the Czech educational environment, the research has been carried out. Data have been collected from three classes of 6th graders within six weeks. Classes were assigned during the practice test into different settings: individual, competitive and cooperative. Reading comprehension has been selected as the monitored skill. The results corroborate the assumptions that monitoring accuracy training is beneficial both for performance and for increasing metacognitive skills to monitor. Secondary, the cooperative setting appeared to be the only one that both calibration accuracy and reading comprehension did significantly increase. The outcomes and recommendations for follow-up studies are discussed.
