Foreigners at the beginning of school attendance
Dostálová, Petra ; Kropáčková, Jana (advisor) ; Stará, Jana (referee)
My diploma thesis focuses on including students from foreign countries in the first grade of primary school and problems related to these questions. It deals with Czech and foreign educational systems, which could help teachers to understand different approaches of parents from foreign countries and their children to education. This thesis explains multicultural differences, which could support better communication with students from foreign countries and their parents as well. This work offers possibilities of subvention of children from foreign countries in the process of including in the Czech educational system. On the basis of research it is obvious, that students from foreign countries are mostly successfully adapted to the educational system. Rarely there are problems with language boundaries or social and emotional development. Teachers consider admission of a student from a foreign country as a benefit but they often point out that it also means a harder work for them. In case of some difficulties teachers often cooperate with non-profit organisation Meta.

Inclusive Practice in Education of Refugee Children
Bačáková, Markéta ; Květoňová, Lea (advisor) ; Šotolová, Eva (referee) ; Šiklová, Jiřina (referee)
TITLE: Inclusive Practice in Education of Refugee Children AUTHOR: Markéta Bačáková DEPARTMENT: Department of Special Education Research in refugee education is currently almost non-existent in the Czech Republic, even though internationally, it represents a topic much researched and debated. Its importance lies within the high vulnerability of persons fleeing their homes due to persecution as well as within the area of human rights enshrined in many international conventions together with the current educational trends, such as the inclusive education. Moreover, international research shows that refugee children provide us with an utmost unique view on the education system. Listening to their voices, therefore, has the potential to help us find new answers for the ever-increasing diversity in school population. The presented doctoral project aims to support the discussion in the area of educational experiences of refugee children in the Czech Republic and simultaneously, to reflect the practice of countries with long experience with international migration. The thesis builds on a case study of a group of resettled Burmese refugees in the Czech Republic and poses the question whether these children and their families have the possibility to fully enjoy the right to education embedded in many...

Impact of inclusive environment for pupils attitudes towards persons with disability
Zilcher, Ladislav
This dissertation is conceived as a theoretical - empirical study, which is focused on modifications in attitudes of fourth and fifth grade pupils towards people with disabilities. The research is based on three possible influences for attitudes, (1) the effect of classmate with disability on pupils' attitudes towards people with disability, (2) teacher's approach to the issue, their inclusive teaching competences and the effect on pupils' attitudes and (3) if school and its inclusive setting (which is represented by schools with "Fair school" certificate) has any influence on pupils' attitudes towards persons with disabilities. We try to explain one elemental empirical question by dealing with these three particular research issues. Does inclusive environment have positive influence on fourth and fifth grade pupils towards people with disabilities? We decided to choose a quasiexperimental design of this study to answer this question. Two validated empirical instruments were used in the research, they were administrated on a sample that consists of 1948 pupils from fourth and fifth grades and (their) 102 teachers. The acquired data were processed by appropriate statistical methods. Our outcomes partly confirmed the assumption that inclusive environment may have an impact on pupils' attitude towards...

Approaches to inclusive education of students with physical disabilities in elementary schools of the Třebíč region
PLÍŠKOVÁ, Kateřina
The thesis of the topic "Possibilities of the inclusive education of the handicapped pupils at the primary schools in Třebíč´s region" is aimed at the possibilities of integration. Based on the literature sources, individuals with a physical handicap are happen to be the most suitable candidates for the inclusive education. The main obstacles of their schooling at regular primary schools appear to be architectonical dispositions and other people´s attitude. Such integration has been recently discussed quite frequently and currently there is being apparent an effort to obtain equal position and rights for handicapped individuals not only for education but also for status within the whole society. This thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is aimed at specification of the term "health handicap" and "physical handicap", furthermore at types of physical defective conditions, their causes, and allied disorders. As the topic prompts the thesis is aimed at education in the main educational stream, especially inclusive one. The author of the thesis has focused on current changes and described specifications of the handicapped individuals´ education. Briefly, there are mentioned schooling consulting services and supportive precautions which mainly cover a position of a teacher´s assistant and an individual educational plan. The introduction of the thesis mainly covers a goal of the thesis, and is focused on techniques and methods. The goal of the thesis is to learn how the primary schools in Třebíč´s region are prepared for the inclusive education of the physically handicapped pupils in the main educational stream. Based on the goal, the author has strived to define the following hypothesis: preparedness of the primary schools is affected by previously obtained experiences with already integrated pupils. A quantitative research has been completed in order to conduct data for the thesis. A questioning method and a technique of the personal questionnaire were used. The results of the questionnaires are added with graphs and tables. All primary schools in Třebíč´s region were addressed. In order to obtain a high level of backflow, the author personally contacted all schools and the questionnaires were physically provided. However, seven schools refused to participate in this research due to a lack of time, interest in research theme, or due to a previously held questionnaires research on the same or similar topic. The research was taken during the months of April and fifty-one schools participated. In order to confirm or disconfirm the hypothesis, the results were sorted separately from the schools which had already had previous experience with integration and those schools which had had no such experience previously. This comparison revealed that preparedness of the schools is influenced by previously gained experiences with the pupils´ integration. The results indicate that 45% of the schools have a certain experience with inclusive education of physically handicapped pupils. Whereas fourteen schools already educate an individual with handicap. These schools faced an issue of architectonical barriers which had to be resolved by either staircase adjustment or installation of a platform, elevator or loan of the stair equipment allowing transport of handicapped individuals. Those schools which are not experienced with integration of physically handicapped individuals have architectonical barriers. Only two schools claimed to be barrier free. Based on the results, it is apparent that another significant factor influencing integration happens to represent people who are part of such integration. Parents, teachers´ assistants and school management are all affected and their cooperation is essential.
