Possible contributing characteristics are low musical self-efficacy, low self-esteem, inadequate preparation and previous performing experiences. The aim of the theoretical part of this study was to explain the phenomenon of MPA from various perspectives and with all its manifestations; to describe its psychological, social and educational contributing factors and to offer an analysis of coping strategies that could be used in the education system. The aim of the research project was to investigate the relationship between MPA, self-esteem and self-efficacy; to examine possible differences in the levels of MPA, self-efficacy and self-esteem between music students studying in three different higher education institutions, and to determine whether such differences could be attributed to their different educational experiences. Surveyed participants were 53 (quantitative study) and 10 (qualitative study) music students studying in the Manhattan School of Music in New York, the Music Academy in Prague and the Music Academy in Zagreb. Research data were collected using both quantitative (Rosenberg Self-Esteem...

Slavíčková, Kateřina ; Vozková, Anna (advisor) ; Tetourová, Tereza (referee)
This bachelor thesis qualitatively analyses interviews of young girls and their carers on the topic of relationships with friends and social self-concept. Apart from the concept of friendship, the aim of the thesis is to clarify the image of the interviewed girls' social self-concept, i.e. how they perceive their own effectiveness in establishing friendships, which is then related to how their carers think that the girls could handle such social situations. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the issue of Asperger's syndrome, social self-concept, focusing specifically on the main concept of the whole thesis, as well as Albert Bandura's concept of self-efficacy. The thesis then focuses on Jenniffer Connolly's concept of social self- efficacy and last but not least, it deals with the concept of friendship. The empirical part first defines the general research problem and includes the research question. It deals with method, data collection and with how they are processed. It then specifically defines the method of grounded theory. The empirical part also presents the results of the social self-efficacy section and contains the interpretation of the results.

The presented thesis deals with topic of unschooling. It specifically focuses on parent's motivation for this untraditional and sort of radical educational approach to children. The major aim of the thesis was to map parent's specific reasons for unschooling and also factors that help them continue with it despite possible difficulties. Bandura's concept of self-efficacy was used as a theoretical frame of the research. We focused on development of motivation in this area as well. The qualitative approach was used for the research; data was collected by in- depth semi-structured interviews and analysed using thematic analyses. Results of the research show us main motives that lead Czech parents to choice of unschooling as well as supportive factors that motivate them continue with it. The main reasons for unschooling educational choice were for example delimiting against school, child's needs and interests, and child's will. Family well-being and child's happiness turn out to be the strongest keeping factors. Identified motives were set into the concept of self-efficacy which shows the strong connection of those two concepts in researched area. Analysis indicates significant development trend to radicalization of opinions and educational approach connected with longer unschooling practise....

The influence of religious conversion to the Roman Catholic Church on the change of selff-efficacy
Lopaurová, Štěpánka ; Beláňová, Andrea (advisor) ; Trpišovská, Dobromila (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with religious conversion and changes that accompany this turn of man. Specifically, it deals with the conversion to the Roman Catholic Church and the change of self-efficacy. The goal is to answer the questions of how converts describe themselves as active agents in life before and after conversion, and what role does faith in God and the perceived relationship with him plays in this description. Furthermore, how the self-efficacy has changed due to religious beliefs - that is, how converts perceive themselves as capable of influencing their lives. In the broadest sense, the work should contribute to the understanding of man, his motives and experience, also by using his spiritual component. The research was made qualitatively, in the form of semi-structured interviews with ten converts, who for some part of their lives considered themselves to be unbelievers, then they went through the experience they call a religious conversion, got baptized and joined the Roman Catholic Church. They are now practicing believers. The results show that due to the belief gained, there are changes in several areas, such as belief in the lack of competence to manage one's own life, the feeling capability and activating an individual in a particularly pro-social direction despite awareness of...

The Role of Self-Regulation, Quantity of Practice and Self-Efficacy in Self-Assessment and Improved Performance among Lebanese and Czech Piano Students
Agopian, Vartan ; Gregor, Vít (advisor) ; Palkovská, Jana (referee) ; Sanders, Edel (referee)
This work studies the role of self-regulation and self-efficacy during piano practice in improved self-assessment and performance, since in the last couple of decades, research has shown that number of hours of practice is not the only predictor of improved performance. Piano students at the Beirut and Prague conservatories wrote weekly journals assessing their self-regulation during practice for nine months and then performed in an exam, in addition to filling an online questionnaire. Results showed that students self-regulated mostly using the method and social factors dimension. Moreover, although students in Prague performed a harder repertoire, they were not better in self-regulation compared to the students in Beirut, except for the time dimension of self-regulation. A list of self-regulatory behaviors is presented at the end of the work, in addition to the implications for music educators and piano students and the contributions to the field of music education in terms of preparation for performance in the absence of a teacher. Keywords piano pedagogy, practice, self-assessment, self-efficacy, self-regulation
