Rescue, stabilization and development of small rural elementary schools in the Czechia and Europe.
KOUTOVÁ, Kateřina
Rural schools providing primary and lower secondary education have lost pupils in the last few decades. It has been mostly due to rural depopulation and natality. This applies to schools in the Czech Republic as well as in other European countries. The worst situation is in the rural peripheries, where many schools extincted. The issue of stabilization of rural education was mainly followed up by authors from northwestern Europe and the USA. The aim of the thesis is to create a set of measures to rescue, stabilize and develop small rural elementary schools in the Czech Republic. This is based on the evaluation of professional literature and on interviewing the representatives of selected elementary schools and the relevant municipalities in the case study area of the Prachatice and Český Krumlov districts. The examined primary schools are divided into eight types - complete in cities, complete in semi-peripheral small towns, complete in semi-peripheral villages, complete in peripheral small towns, complete in peripheral villages, incomplete in suburbia, incomplete in semi-peripheral villages and incomplete in peripheral villages. The evaluated literature is organized into five thematic groups, the responses of school headmasters and mayors into three blocks of indicators - basic indicators, community-functional indicators of primary schools and indicators of support of primary schools by municipalities and communities. The main resolution of the thesis is the above-mentioned set of measures.

Stabilization of rural primary schools with small
DOBIÁŠOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis deals with the stabilization of rural primary schools with a small number of pupils in the Benešov district. Based on interviews with primary school principals and mayors of municipalities with such schools, problems associated with the functioning of small and complete rural primary schools with a small number of pupils were identified. The interviews were structured guided interviews, which were used to analyse the relationships between the primary school and the village management, between the primary school and the community of the village residents, and to examine the characteristics of the pupils and teachers of the primary school. The primary schools under study (9 schools in total) were grouped into several types according to completeness and number of pupils. The rural primary schools surveyed in the Benešov region tend to have a small proportion of pupils from socially disadvantaged backgrounds and with educational difficulties. Funding for the operation of rural primary schools by the municipalities concerned varies widely. Some municipalities save on their primary school, others support it financially beyond the normal level. Most primary schools and the management of the municipalities concerned cooperate in organising events for children and other inhabitants of the municipality. Both institutions help each other. Primary schools in rural villages are very important in terms of cultural events in the villages. Both pupils and teachers of the primary school are involved in these events. The qualification of teachers in rural primary schools is slightly lower than in urban primary schools. The answers of mayors were mostly in line with those of principals. The thesis also includes an analysis of relevant Czech and foreign literature, including qualification papers, and some proposed tools and measures to save and stabilize rural primary schools with a small number of pupils.

The use of monitoring and filtering software at lower secondary school and its pedagogical impacts
RYBA, Jakub
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to map what are the possibilities and limits of using monitoring and filtering software in primary schools. To find out their advantages and disadvantages, focus mainly on the role they have during teaching and describe the programs that schools use. Discover what type of filter they are using in school network and which specific areas of the site they focus on when filtering the network. In the research, the researcher examined more cases, so he chose a multi-case studies. This knowledge was achieved by studying the relevant literature, which focused on what these software can do, and the knowledge of schools that already use these technologies in teaching, this helped in understanding the issue .He further analyzed the findings and compared them in order to achieve the most accurate view of the issue. Research has shown that schools often use similar solutions to these problems, and that the great majority of their experience with these software is positive. This work can show schools that do not yet use these technologies the issue and limits of these technologies for education in practice.

Stabilizace venkovských základních škol s malým počtem žáků (okresy Prachatice a Český Krumlov)
KOUTOVÁ, Kateřina
Rural primary schools often struggle with a small number of pupils, especially those located in peripheral areas. These schools often face the threat of reducing the number of classes and grades, or even with the threat of complete extinction. Another problem is that these schools are not considered by parents to be of sufficient quality, and that is the reason why they send their children to distant city schools. This bachelor's thesis aims to create a portfolio of topics for preservation, stabilization, and development of rural primary schools with a small number of pupils (including small schools with composite classes), based on an analysis of the literature and interviews with representatives of these schools. The survey finds information about pupils and teachers of primary schools, about the relationship between the primary school and municipality, in which is the primary school located, as well as about the relationship between the primary school and the community of the municipality, and many other problems. A key part of the bachelor's thesis is a set of topics for preservation, stabilization and development of the monitored type of primary schools.

Optimization of the territorial organization of elementary schools in the district of Kutná Hora.
VOLF, Dominik
The main goal of the bachelor's thesis was to suggest the optimization of the territorial organization of elementary schools in the district of Kutná Hora. Several gradual steps led to this goal, finding out the territorial distribution of individual types of schools, finding out the number of pupils belonging to one class at the first and second level of schools, mapping the catchment areas of schools at both levels, finding out the number of younger and older school-age children in settlements at individual catchment areas of school territory, comparison of the number of school pupils and the number of school-age children in the catchment areas of schools, assessment of facilities and condition of schools, the last step was the proposal of optimization. There are 18 complete and 11 incomplete elementary schools (without special ones) in the Kutná Hora district. Rural complete schools often include dozens of catchment areas with a small number of school-age children. There are few incomplete schools with the exception of small schools with composite classes. Only one whole school is threatened to be reduced to an incomplete school. Incomplete schools should remain in operation. The bachelor's thesis suggest several modifications of school catchment areas, several modifications of public transport connections in an effort to develop the transport of pupils to and from school and several additions to school facilities.

Optimalizace spádových regionů základních škol v SOORP Příbram
VLTAVSKÁ, Ivana
The bachelor thesis analyzes the territorial arrangement of elementary schools and their catchment areas in the distrcit of Příbram and strives for optimizing this arrangement. Rural areas have a lower density of elementary schools than more urbanized and densely populated areas. There are often elementary school with only the first stage. In rural areas, commuting of pupils is significantly realized to elementary schools located in larger rural settlements, and to elementary schools in towns in the first stage and especially in the second stage of these schools. From some rural settlements, it is difficult to get to elementary schools by public transport. This bachelor thesis tries to suggest such a territotial arrangement of elementary schools with only the first stage and elementary schools with both stages and their catchment areas in the district of Příbram, which would reduce the difficult commuting of pupils to elementary schools. There are 17 elementary schools with the first stage and 7 elementary schools with the first and the second stage in the studied area of the district of Příbram. All should be preserved, although they often take the form of rural, small, elementary schools. In the bachelor thesis, several modifications of the catchement areas of elementary schools in the district of Příbram are proposed.
