Programme "Who I am" as tool for a distant preparation for marriage
Lejsalová, Ivana ; Zimmermannová, Marie (advisor) ; Dřímal, Ludvík (referee)
This work presents and evaluates the programme called Who I am which was published in 2007-2008 in the Brno Diocese's Catechetical Journal. This material offers a one- to two-hour long programme for young people in adolescent age. In this course (9 meetings), young people have an opportunity to consolidate their relationship with God, their faith, attitude to themselves, close relatives and to their life in general. I assess this programme from the point of view of its possible implementation for a distant preparation for marriage in the religion classes in the 8 th and 9 th grade of primary school as well as in the parish catechism. I also compare this programme with the Standards of the Czech Bishop Conference for the Preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage, particularly with the part dedicated to a distant preparation for matrimony.

The possibilities arising from discussion as educational technique and its influence on the development of a pupil's personality
Šlehoferová, Klára ; Krykorková, Hana (advisor) ; Janebová, Eva (referee)
Abstact: The overall objective of this thesis is to draw attention to discussion as a teaching technique. Discussion can be used to develop pupils' abilities, which are necessary for social life. The question: "How do teachers understand this technique and then apply it?", is closely linked to this problem. It is worth mentioning that discussion has very bad connotations in the Czech society. It is mainly due to its representation in media, where discussion is usually shown as a fight of arguments with an arrogant attitude, unethical and self-centred word-tiffs. The only goal is to state one's case very fast and to silence the rival. Where else can a different concept of discussion be seen? Where can we encounter discussion that resembles a dialogue? In my oppinion it is at school. I believe that if discussion is used in the right way at school it can help the society. I consider this as a very current issue and its solution very useful. This thesis is based on an assumption that teachers work with this educational technique in an intuitive way and they do not often take advantage of possibilities offered by the discussion that could develop pupils' personal abilities. The main objective of this thesis is to offer a more extensive theoretical background. It means to define the concept of a discussion with...
