The dissertation thesis presents the results of a research project which focused on the application of mediated learning experience theory to teaching with respect to cognitive development of pupils. The first chapter introduces cognitive education, which concentrates on the process of learning. It also compares this approach with traditional methods aimed at the content of learning. The following parts of the thesis deal with selected theories postulated by Reuven Feuerstein which are important for understanding the context in which his other theory was developed: the theory of mediated learning experience. This theory is the central theme of the theoretical part of the thesis. Apart from its definition and parameters, the thesis presents specific recommendations for teachers about how to develop cognitive functions of their pupils by applying this theory directly in class. Afterwards, attention is paid to Feuerstein's well-known worldwide intervention program called The Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment. This program is used in the Czech school system, too. The essential part of this chapter introduces a number of studies which focused on the verification of benefits of Feuerstein's approaches to cognitive development in children and adolescents.

VRBOVÁ, Barbora
The aim of my bachelor thesis was to prepare, realize and evaluate joint activities of children and seniors, where group of seniors would cooperate with group of elementary school children in intergeneration cooperation. Throughout these activities comes activation of clients on one side and developing social competences and gaining new knowledge skills and experiences within lower school aged kids on the other side. By creating an appropriate evaluation of joint activities, it was concluded how the groups worked and what was the benefit of their meetings. I have created specific program which suits both targeted groups, based on studying professional literature and my own experiences and knowledge. Common activities were divided into four events, each for 2 hours in the morning, and realized in the home for seniors Máj. This program was subsequently evaluated by a self-evaluation technique, by a reflection of joint program and by feedback from programme participants using surveys. Evaluating our joint activities, I have found out, that our goal was fulfilled and its realisation made sense. This bachelor thesis can serve not only professionals in pedagogical facilities and social services, but can also answer some questions for students or those interested in these problematics. It is important, that issue of intergeneration cooperation gets to wider public and that facilities could participate on these activities and seek for cooperation between children and seniors in the future, because I see importance and sense in these activities which are needed to support.

The goal of the thesis is to determine the level of motoric abilities of the children in primary school age (years of birth 2006 and 2007) who do the selected sports games such handball, football, volleyball and basketball. I tested the level of motoric abilities using the test battery Unifittest (6 - 60) what is suitable tool for testing. The testing was carried out in six sports clubs in the Central Bohemian Region and the Vysočina Region. I compared the level of motoric abilities of the children in primary school age doing the sports with standard population and subsequently made a comparison between selected sports. The other task was also to determine whether the structure of sport performance of selected sports will influence the level of motoric abilities of the children in primary school age. The research-oriented part proves that there is no significant difference in average results. The testing showed that handball and basketball players have the highest levels of motoric abilities. The research also showed that the sportsmen in primary school age have the worst results in the tests focused on physical condition of players.
