Radová, Lia ; Pavelková, Isabella (referee) ; Hnilica, Karel (advisor)
This text is concerned with racial attitudes and their studies. The theoretical part points at variety in understanding of the term of "attitude" and its elements. Above all it is focused on distinction of categories of implicit and explicit attitudes. The issue of implicit attitudes is elaborated more in details, including the background theory. In connection with that the thesis presents some methods of measurement of attitudes, mainly the implicit technique of unobtrusive measure of racial attitudes based on priming procedures. This method successfully eliminates the possibility to modify the respondents' attitudes in accordance with the social desirability. Techniques of implicit measures provide estimates of individuals' attitudes without necessity to ask them directly for such information. They assess attitudes unaffected by conscious control. The underlying mechanism is that the respondent has in memory evaluative (positive or negative) connotation towards attitude object. This evaluative connotation is an implicit attitude. It is automatically activated by the encounter of this attitude object. Evaluative connotation does not have to be conscious. In terms of testing procedure this connotation facilitates or inhibits the answer. Implicit attitudes, their findings and coherency with explicit...

The general focus of the dissertation was updated, with the agreement of my supervisor, in line with the recommendations of lecturers from the Faculty of Primary Education. The aim of the dissertation is to provide up-to-date feedback on the effect of teaching art and the influence it has on the attitudes of pre-school teachers. I have attempted to point out the factors which emerged as insufficient in teacher training and yet are essential for ensuring a high standard of teaching. I have based my findings on the experiences reported by pre-school teachers and secondary teacher-training school students of art at school. The dissertation examines the findings of mainly quality-related research, drawn from analysis of interviews with pre-school teachers in the joint towns of Brandýs nad Labem and Stará Boleslav, which have been used as the basis for compilation of a series of case studies. The research has been supplemented with a questionnaire-based investigation for secondary teacher-training school students and a survey conducted amongst...
