Štěpánová, Kateřina ; Zhouf, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Vondrová, Naďa (referee)
V teoretické části předkládané diplomové práce shrnuji dosavadní poznatky o profesi učitele, uvádím současné trendy v přípravném vzdělávání učitelů (PVU). Soustředím se především na tzv. reflektivní model PVU a možnosti rozvoje (sebe)reflektivní kompetence studentů učitelství. (Cílem takového PVU je absolvent - reflektivní praktik.) Analyzuji pojem reflexe a nahlížím na jeho úlohu v práci učitele. Klíčovým obdobím pro rozvoj sebereflexe studentů je podle odborníků (Švec, 2005, Nezvalová, 2000) období získávání pedagogických zkušeností (laboratorních i terénních). Nemalou úlohu v tomto procesu rozvoje sebereflexe mají vzdělavatelé učitelů na pedagogické fakultě, ale také učitelé, kteří vedou studenty během jejich souvislé pedagogické praxe (fakultní, resp. cviční učitelé). V empirické části práce se zabývám (sebe)reflektivní kompetencí budoucích učitelů matematiky z Pedagogické fakulty Univerzity Karlovy v Praze, zaměřuji se také na charakteristické nedostatky a přednosti pedagogické činnosti těchto studentů během souvislých praxí. Dále analyzuji pedagogické praxe z matematiky na PedF UK, zvláště jejich organizaci. Vycházím z písemných reflexí a sebereflexí studentů učitelství matematiky a z provedených dotazníkových šetření mezi studenty a jejich fakultními učiteli. V oddílu "R" empirické části této práce...

The psychological context of one´s voice and self-concept
NOHAVOVÁ, Alena
Disertační práce je zaměřena na psychologické souvislosti mezi rozvojem hlasového projevu a vývojem sebepojetí jedince v psychosomatické hlasové výchově. Cílem je vytvoření teoretického konceptu, který s pomocí soustavy vysvětlujících konstruktů povede k hlubšímu porozumění praxi psychosomatické hlasové výchovy a k přesnější komunikaci o ní zejména pro pedagogickou oblast. V empirické části práce byly teoretické konstrukty ověřovány v tzv. smíšeném výzkumu. V kvalitativním výzkumu jsme zpracovali 24 případových studií, z nichž podrobně uvádíme tři. Prostřednictvím faktorové analýzy vlastního Dotazníku charakteristik hlasu jsme provedli pilotní ověření platnosti konstruktu hlasová mohoucnost. Dále jsme porovnávali výsledky hlasové intervence při rozvíjení hlasové mohoucnosti a sebehodnocení studentů psychosomatické hlasové výchovy a u dalších dvou skupin, ve kterých probíhal jiný typ sebezkušenostní přípravy než hlasové. Interpretace výsledků nás vedla k závěru o zvláštním výchovném efektu exprese.
