Selfconcept of individuals placed in the diagnostic institute
Malášková, Nikola ; Kubíčková, Anna (advisor) ; Němec, Zbyněk (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on individuals placed in a diagnostic institute and their self- concept. The aim was to evaluate and describe their view of themselves, whether they perceive positively or negatively, in which area they evaluate above average and where they move on the edge of below average. We consider the conception of ourselves to be the essence on which it is necessary to work on, build it and try to strengthen it if these individuals are to be corrected and their current behavior changed. The first part of this work clarifies the theoretical concepts related to the issue and the second part includes the research itself to determine the self-concept of individuals placed in a diagnostic institute. The evaluation of self-concept was based on a questionnaire survey (Questionnaire of self- concept of children and adolescents Piers Harris) and analysis of products of mental activity (drawing a tree). The results of the questionnaires show that the respondents from our research sample do not perceive positively, on the contrary, on many scales they show values corresponding to the average, below average to significantly below average. The elements resulting from the analysis of the drawings only highlight and confirm the results of the questionnaires.

Pre-school aged children with ADHD syndrome
Hotová, Jana ; Valentová, Lidmila (advisor) ; Presslerová, Pavla (referee)
Pre-school aged children with ADHD syndrome This bachelor thesis deals with the upbringing and educational procedures with kindergarden children who have ADHD syndrome. The aim of this thesis was the development of pedagogical support intervention and its implementation in the kindergarden environment. I focused on the realization and fulfillment of the goals set in the bachelor thesis. Interventions help to normalize the behavior of children with ADHD in the normal operation of kindergartens and their integration into the collective. In addition, interventions improve interpersonal relationships and improve the quality of the teacher's work in a facility that does not have a teacher assistant or auxiliary staff. At work, I used research methods - case studies and observations. On the basis of the evaluated data, a short pedagogical counseling intervention was developed, which was implemented and analyzed at the end of the bachelor thesis.
