Children?s centres within the social context in the Czech Republic
HROMKOVÁ, Renata
The establishment of children?s centres started in 1992 spontaneously and following the children?s centres principal in Germany, a principal of mutual help. Presently, there are many entities ? also commercial ones ? using this name. The Citizens Association called Children?s Centres Network was established in 2001 and it is the umbrella organisation of approx. 330 children?s centres, which declare their alignment with both the original idea and with the well spread role of supporting the family values and inter-generation relations, role of parents, mother and father role within the society, family legal protection and equal opportunities and support of healthy life in healthy environment. Children?s centres have been established in big cities, towns and also in villages. The children?s centres operators are usually also their direct users and they define their activities according to their own wishes, and therefore the children?s centres offer a large variety of activities. The research part of the thesis mapped the centres and the offer of their services; children?s centres fulfil their communication and intermediation function between families with small children and the society. Children?s centres create both safe and open space for meeting with other people and for strengthening the role of family in the present society. However, current clients of children?s centres have higher requirements as compared to their predecessors 20 years ago and they request educational, cultural and sporting activities. Nowadays, the clients wish the children?s centres to be the tradition bearers and to help with the support of healthy life style. Children?s centres play an irreplaceable role in identifying pathological phenomena in families and they help with the primary lay prophylaxis. The professionalization of social service provided in children?s centres stumbles over short-term links to the activities in the centres and over the operators? and users? lack of interest. The children?s centres play a significant role in local civil activities, when new family friendly locations or activities are created. This year the 20th anniversary of establishment of first children?s centres is celebrated and the research in this bachelor?s thesis will be useful material for the called Children?s Centres Network in order to assess and evaluate the currently offered service and it may also provide the possible direction of the future development in children?s centres. A round table discussion took place in the Haštalská YMCA Praha Family Centre on 25th April 2012, where the research results of this thesis were used.

Smart board and its use in education of an integrated student with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) at elementary school
KOPALOVÁ, Markéta
Integration or inclusion of people with disabilities into the intact society is currently widely discussed in the area of disability. This process is very long and complicated. The results of integrating this person into class of other intact students don´t depends only on a work of teacher, but also on familier diagnostic and on all stimulation program, which helps to the best integrable child. Integration of persons with autism spectrum disorder, whose behaviour is often problematic, can be difficult. But there are individuals who can be, usually with the help of an assistant, integrated into primary school among intact peers. The lack of special education of the teacher can be a disadvantage of the integration. If the teacher does not have enough experience with autism, the teaching can become a problem. That is why information and communication technologies, such as SmartBoard, which is very easily operated, may be a considerable help. Therefore it is suitable for individuals with fine motor skills disabilities and can attract both intact children and children with autism spectrum disorder. This thesis is focused on the use of Smart Board for children with autism spectrum disorder who are integrated at usual primary schools and for whose education and training special approaches are needed. The theoretical part deals with the definition of mental retardation, its etiology symptomatology and division. It also describes dementia of children who lose their previously mastered skills and abilities. A large section of the theoretical part deals with autism spectrum disorders, which are congenital and therefore lifelong disabilities significantly detrimental to the mental development of the individual, and describes etiology, prevalence and symptomatology focusing on the triad of the problem areas. It deals with affiliated disabilities and division of autism spectrum disorders, early infantile autism, atypical autism and other childhood disintegrative disorders, e.g. Asperger syndrome and schizoid childhood disorders. Diagnosis, education and training of individuals with this type of disability are mentioned in this part of my thesis as well. The practical part is based on the information obtained through questionnaires. It is therefore quantitative research using methods of questioning. The research files are all primary schools in the Czech Republic. The data from primary schools that integrate individuals with autism spectrum disorder were examined primarily. It was found out that 75% of primary schools which have integrated a pupil with autistic spectrum disorder use SmartBoard for their education. Particularly the methodical way of obtaining materials by primary schools in each region was assessed. The results showed that more than a half of the respondents buy or create their own materials. 34% sort to these two ways downloading from diffrent Internet portals, where are currently about 16 000 materials for primary schools. Only 40% collaborate with other schools. If the teachers communicated with each other more and shared the proven materials, it would certainly be a significant help for primary schools which are buying the materials and it would definitely facilitate the process of teaching. Acccording to my observations from my research resulted, that if teachers would communicate more each other and share experienced material, it would mean enlargement offers for pedagogical work. The results of this bachelor thesis might broaden the awareness of the widget SmartBoard and its positives which I could see at a primary school where a girl with autism spectrum disorder is integrated and where I could be present at her teaching. Further, the work created an outline of a mathematics methodological material for the fourth class which could inspire teachers when working with integrated pupils with autistic spectrum disorders.

Integration and education of children with disabilities in primary schools in the chomutov region
KOLÍNKOVÁ, Michaela
The topic of the Bachelor Thesis relates to the integration and education of children with a bodily handicap in basic schools in the Chomutov Region. In the theoretical part of my thesis I deal with the terminology of the integration and definition of the term of bodily handicap, and I describe the development of the school integration in the Czech Republic, while I focus particularly to the support of the integration in terms of the legislative and economic funding. I aim at the role of special-pedagogical centres and pedagogical-psychological consultancy offices in the process of integration. The main goal of my thesis was to identify how the conditions of integration are fulfilled from the point of view of the Headmasters of schools, teachers, assistants, pedagogues, and, but not limited to, the parents themselves. For the satisfaction of the main goal, I set up three partial goals. At first, to identify the financial conditions of the integration, at second, to find out the extent of the awareness of the pedagogues, and at first, what the activity of special- pedagogical centres is, and/or of the pedagogical-psychological consultancy offices in this area of their professional work. For my research, I used a questionnaire survey at which I attempted to find out the opinions, attitudes and experience of the pedagogues as well of the parents of the integrated pupils. For the survey at the consultancy school facilities I employed the methods of a semi-controlled interview. Through my survey performed, I managed to find out that the addressed respondents showed, in the majority of the cases, a positive approach to integration. The Headmasters of schools see, as the core one, the problem of insufficient financial funds for the integration. The teachers particularly encounter partial problems directly at the time of teaching. The approach of all assistants of pedagogues to integration is positive, however their workload is not clearly defined. From the parents' point view, the conditions for the integration are good, and they see in it an unambiguous benefit for their children. Integration in the Czech Republic is legislatively supported, but in the normal life of schools it however has been facing both the financial and practical difficulties. Because in the Chomutov District, there is only a special-pedagogical centre aimed at defects of hearing, I believe that a facility focused on all types of handicap would be vastly beneficial.

Specific nursing care of children with facial cleft defects
KAŇKOVÁ, Jana
The thesis deals with specific nursing care for children with facial cleft anomalies. Facial clefts belong to frequent congenital anomalies with incidence of 1 : 500 in lively born children, which is why adequate care has to be provided to these children to honour the founder of Czech plastic surgery Prof. František Burian. Two goals were set in this thesis. The first goal was to elaborate a proposal of a nursing procedure for children with facial cleft. The other goal was to elaborate an educational programme for nurses and parents of children with facial cleft anomalies. Both the goals have been achieved. Two hypotheses were set in this thesis: Hypothesis No. 1 ?Nurses working at a specialized department are sufficiently informed on the care about children with facial cleft anomalies?. Hypothesis No. 2 ?Nurses working at maternity wards are sufficiently informed on the care about children with facial cleft anomalies?. Two research questions were also set before the research itself: Research question No. 1: How do nurses provide specific nursing care to children with facial cleft anomalies? Research question No. 2: What principles do nurses consider important for the care about children with facial cleft anomalies? The questionnaire, interview and observation methods were used for data collection. The questionnaire was based on information obtained from literature and was designed for ward nurses. The interview was prepared upon own experience from observation of nurses in the Královské Vinohrady University Hospital in the Centre for Cleft Anomalies Treatment and upon information from literature. 60 questionnaires were distributed in the České Budějovice Hospital in March 2011. There were 47 completed questionnaires suitable for processing. 11 questionnaires were distributed in the Královské Vinohrady University Hospital in March 2011. 9 completed questionnaires were used for processing. The research sample for the interview consisted of 11 nurses working in the Královské Vinohrady University Hospital, the Centre for Cleft Anomalies Treatment, the Paediatric ICU and the Paediatric ward. The results show that the nurses working at maternity wards are sufficiently informed. The results also show how nurses provide specific nursing care and what principles they consider important. We have elaborated educational programmes for parents and nurses within the set goals and upon the interviews with nurses, which may help improve the nursing care and particularly teach parents to care about their children with facial cleft properly.
