The significant shifts in the timing of childbearing were revealed. While the first order is characterized by early fertility decline and subsequent significant fertility recuperation, the second order is characterized by a further decrease in fertility with slight recuperation. However, fertility of third and higher order continues to decline and has been found out. practically no recuperation.

Marriage and cohabitation : comparison of opinions and attitudes of young people and adult generation
Fulínová, Renata ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Klusáček, Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis called "Marriage and cohabitation: comparison of opinions and attitudes of young people and adult generation" focuses on changes of demographic behavior of the Czech population which started to appear after the Velvet revolution in 1989. One of the changes was a denial of marriage as the ultimate form of partnership, which led to the expansion of cohabitation as an alternative form of marriage. According to the normative theory and the theory of second demographic transition, these changes were caused by the turn in values. This thesis uses a combined research design and using the secondary data analysis and in- depth interviews compares opinions of the two generations on marriage and cohabitation. This thesis also tries to find the factors that affect these opinions and examines, if there is a generation transfer of the values in a family. The results show, that young people are more tolerant towards the cohabitation, which however does not necessarily mean that they also prefer this form of partnership in their own personal life. Apart from the age, the important factors are also sex, marital status and education. The interviews showed, that the marriage of young peoples' parents proves to play an important role when it comes to forming their own opinion about this topic.

The theoretical part of the thesis contains information about the assessment and the specific method of assessment in the art education. The research part is divided into preliminary research and three stages of research - the interview, the observation and questionnaire own experiment and subsequent questioning. In these stages of research I have found information on the experiences and attitudes to assessment in the art education, but also on the whole subject of the art education. The survey was conducted in one class mainstream primary school in a small town in the South Bohemian Region. The work provides interesting information about the current view of pupils and their teachers on the art education and its assessment . The results suggest the need for pupils to be assessed, especially classified and the ability of students to use assessment criteria. Research findings may contribute to the debate regarding the evaluation in art education. They are also useful for the preparation of training teachers in the primary education, improving teaching and can be the basis for more extensive research investigations.

Selected alternative medical approaches opinions of University of South Bohemia's students
PECHOVÁ, Nikola
The term alternative medicine alone is very problematic to define, since it is not easy to tell, which methods should be included within its boundaries and which should not. This issue has its fans as well as sworn criticizers. We are coming across it more and more often in our daily lifes and it is only up to people, whether they will prefer this kind of medicine, or the conventional one. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to describe some chosen methods of alternative medicine, as well as the alternative medicine alone. Other aim was to verify hypothesis that is connected to greater criticism of students of healthcare programs towards mentioned type of medicine. Yet another assumption was the familiarity of the students of the University of South Bohemia with at least one of its methods. Questionnaire took place in the period between the end of March and slightly below the half of April. Dataset contained information from 190 respondents. The group under investigation was composed of students of Faculty of Health and Social sciences, Education and Faculty of Economics. Other respondents were united under the name Others. The evaluation of the questionnaire has shown, that students of health programs are not as critical towards the alternative medicine as I supposed. Moreover, the hypothesis claiming that students are familiar with at least one of the methods of alternative medicine was confirmed.

Wiews of Women and Men on Unmarried Cohabitation.
VOTRUBOVÁ, Jindra
Family values have been changing nowadays. People live together in looser relationships, or single, non marital status has become a norm. This trend exists all over Europe and worldwide. In our country this trend manifests itself significantly after 1989. On the basis of the bachelor thesis I wanted to find out whether young people really do not agree with marriage as an institution, whether their attitudes toward this issue are affected more by economic or social events in their lives. I wanted to compare the results of my research with existing studies on this topic. Information needed to compile this thesis was obtained by the content analysis of secondary data. To survey the views that are related to the objectives and to test the stated hypotheses, quantitative research was conducted. Data collection was carried out by a questioning method, the questionnaire technique. The questionnaire technique was chosen because of high efficiency of data collection. A significant advantage of this technique is elimination of the interviewer effect. I determined three hypotheses, two of which are not confirmed in research. Research shows that the respondents would prefer their lives to try and cohabitation on the basis of experience with it would then enter into marriage. But cohabitation is the option for them, they condemn and which, following agreement with your partner be willing and able to accept. In connection with the planned birth of a child would prefer to bring a child into marriage, but a third of respondents did not consider it a major problem, if in this situation find themselves alone. Research also confirmed that young people prefer other targets than finding a lasting relationship and have children, but the difference between focusing on the personal preferences of life and education is not as big as I expected. Results of mapping the current situation in the opinions of men and women under 35 years of cohabitation. They are a source of information about their life priorities, their attitudes, family and education. They can be used as additional material for sociological studies of similar interests or as a resource for workers in the social sectors and students of social fields.

Opinions of children on traditional family system
KOVÁROVÁ, Michaela
Identically as in other modernised societies, the institution of a family in the Czech Republic has been undergoing such a fundamental transformation in the last fifty years that the question appears if it is possible to speak about the family in the traditional sense of word at present. At present, a traditional family has been becoming the arrangement of life only for a minority of people in the Czech Republic. More than one third of children are born outside the matrimony, many times with the unclear father statute. One half of the concluded matrimonies get divorced. It is possible to conclude that the life without a partner and children becomes more and more widespread, at the expense of traditional family. The theoretical part of work focused on the family, its definition, function, forms of partners coexistence, crises and conflicts in the family and their consequences and the disintegration of the family and its consequences. The goal of the work was to find out the opinions of children from elementary and secondary schools in České Budějovice on the traditional family system. This goal was achieved. The research was performed by means of the method of questioning performed by the technique of the questionnaire. The research complex consisted of pupils of 9th years of elementary schools and pupils of last years of secondary schools in České Budějovice. I fixed the following hypotheses for the research: {\clqq}There exist differences in opinions of pupils of 9th years of elementary schools and pupils of last years of secondary schools.``, {\clqq}Pupils of 9th years of elementary schools as well as last years of secondary schools prefer the marriage to other forms of family arrangement.``, {\clqq}Pupils of 9th years of elementary schools as well as last years of secondary schools prefer the traditional family to other forms of family arrangement.`` All the three hypotheses were confirmed by the research. The thesis aims at serving as source of information for social workers, judges, pedagogical employees, students and other persons interested in family issues.
