Confrontation of selected pupils risk behaviour at Elementary school and Practical Elementary school in Rapšach
KEPKOVÁ, Jana
For my bachelor thesis I chose the topic ?The Comparison of Selected Risk Behaviour of Elementary School Pupils in the Elementary School and Elementary Practical School in Rapšach?. Risk behaviour is not a problem of the Czech Republic or Europe only, but it is a global problem. As its result, there are disruptions of the normal development of individuals in various areas of human life. If risk behaviour develops at an early age, its consequences may be even more serious and they may affect the individual?s upcoming life. Risk behaviour affects both the biological and psychological sides as well as the social side. In spite of that, the age at which an individual engages in risky behaviour decreases. Data for this work was collected on the basis of quantitative research, the method of questioning and the technique of an anonymous questionnaire. On the basis of the data, previously established hypotheses were verified or falsified. The respondents were interviewed in the presence of an administrator at school, but with the exclusion of their teachers or other similar authorities close to them who could affect the validity of the collected data. The thesis includes a theoretical part, which further describes the selected types of risk behaviour, the statistical evaluation of their occurrence and also the characteristics of the period of life, in which the respondents are. The practical part sets the objectives, it describes the course of the actual research and also discusses with the authors from which I drew. The objective of the research was to map the occurrence of selected types of risk behaviour among the pupils in the second half of their education at the Elementary School and Elementary Practical School in Rapšach and then to compare the obtained data with each other. The research shows that a certain type of risk behaviour is more typical for boys and another for girls, as well as some phenomena are increasingly encountered in the Elementary School and others at the Elementary Practical School. It is, however, not exceptional that certain phenomena occur in almost comparable representation in all of the respondents. The results of the thesis can be used in practice for the needs of additional research, education, implementing more effective programmes of primary prevention, for school prevention needs, and for the creation of minimum prevention programmes, etc.

ŠMATLÁKOVÁ, Iva
The topic of this thesis is evaluation of primary prevention activities in elementary schools in the Příbram region. The issue of risk behavior is still an up-to-date topic discussed throughout society and the only truly effective solution to this undesirable phenomenon is its prevention. The aim of primary prevention is to discourage pupils from their involvement in risk behavior or to put the risk behavior off until later age. Those that exercise primary prevention activities are the family and school. Now schools and educational facilities are required to develop the so-called minimal preventive program according to the Methodological instructions of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The chapter ``The current status{\crqq} is based on professional literature. The terms of risk behavior, school primary prevention, adolescence and also individual forms of risk behavior are described. In the practical part the objectives are defined, the research process is described and discussions with authors I drew inspiration from are mentioned. The main objective of this thesis was to survey the spheres of primary prevention activities in elementary schools. At the same time, according to timeliness and the presence of a selected type of risk behaviour, it is possible to assess the effectiveness of primary prevention. Another objective was to monitor the incidence of risk behavior in pupils of ninth grade of elementary schools. To obtain the research data a quantitative method using anonymous questionnaires for elementary school pupils was applied. In the thesis qualitative research was also used, the data collection technique was the content analysis of basic prevention programs.

Prevention of non-drug addictions
PELECHOVÁ, Kateřina
Non-drug addictions are part of us, including children and youth. It is important to realize that non-drug addictions influence us and are underestimated despite their seriousness. They constitute serious social-pathological phenomenon of the present. This Bachelor Thesis deals particularly with prevention and the present situation of socially undesired behaviour that is very widespread in current society. With pathological gambling, mobile phone addiction, virtual addictions, alimentary disorders and sect addiction. The goal of the research was to map the representation of individual phenomena of risk-loaded behaviour within primary prevention in schools and school institutions and to assess the efficiency of the prevention applied in the area of non-drug addictions. The goal of the Thesis was met. I came to the following conclusions through my research: Hypothesis 1: The issue of virtual addictions is insufficiently represented in primary prevention as against prevention of drug addictions, was confirmed. Hypothesis 2: Primary prevention of non-drug addictions is inefficient in schools and school institutions, was confirmed. The introduction of the theoretical part deals with several basic concepts; then it characterizes individual non-drug addictions. The conclusion of the theoretical part deals with prevention, particularly primary prevention and the system of organization and direction of primary prevention of socially pathological phenomena in pupils. I used quantitative research to process the practical part, and questionnaire technique to collect data. I performed questionnaire investigation in 2nd classes of a grammar school, a secondary school and a training institution of České Budějovice. The research set consisted of 73 respondents. The practical part of my Thesis deals particularly with the analysis of the experiences of the respondents with socially undesirable behaviour and timely primary prevention in schools with regard to individual kinds of socially undesirable behaviour.

Evaluation of primary prevention in elementary schools.
PRŮCHOVÁ, Dominika
The target of primary prevention is to discourage from the risk behaviour or to postpone the risky behaviour into the later age. For this reason, mechanisms of the primary prevention were laid down, where the schools and school facilities were determined as main executor. The main factor participating in creating the attitudes and education of children is doubtlessly the family, however, it often fails in the preventive acting connected to risky behaviour. Each elementary school is obliged to elaborate the so-called {\clq}minimum preventive program``, based on the metodical instruction of the Ministry of Schools, Youth and Sports. I am trying to find out this thesis, to which extent the measures taken by the school environment are effective. The target of the thesis was to Map primary prevention activities in elementary schools on the basis of their timeliness and the prevention of representation selected to perform the evaluation of risk-taking behaviour. I believe that the target of the thesis was achieved.

A Selected Risk Behavior a Socially Undesirable Phenomenon by Children at Elementary School
SUCHELOVÁ, Markéta
The thesis deals with selected risk behaviour and socially undesirable phenomena in elementary school children. The data for the thesis were collected in ninth classes of elementary schools in the regions of South Bohemia, Central Bohemia and Ústí. Quantitative research, questioning method, the technique of anonymous questionnaire were used to ascertain the data; preset hypotheses are verified or falsified on the base of evaluation of the questionnaire. The respondents filled out the questionnaires at school, but with exclusion of the authority close to them, in order to obtain as high validity of data as possible. The thesis has a theoretical part describing individual selected phenomena, previous statistics of their incidence and the current period of life of the respondents. The practical part sets goals and describes the actual research and discussion with authors I have drawn from. The goal of the work was to map the incidence and extent of the selected phenomena of pupils of ninth classes of elementary schools. Partial goals were to select the phenomena among the individual regions and to compare the data with implemented prevention. The research shows that the selected phenomena occur in all regions; none of the phenomena is absent in any of the regions. Use of legal, socially tolerated substances, i.e. alcohol and tobacco, is most frequently represented. Each of the selected reasons is more endangered in another form of risk behaviour than the other regions. The Region of South Bohemia appears as the most risky one, with the highest experience of pupils with illegal drugs, both in the number of cases experience and in the frequency of use. The research also shows that the implementation of primary prevention comes late for almost all forms of selected risk behaviour, often only after the pupils have engaged themselves, or shortly before. The results of the thesis can be used in practice, e.g. by instructors of primary prevention, by school methodologists to set up Minimum preventive programs and last but not least for teaching and for the need of other research.

The occurrence of selected risk behaviour of some pupils of the primary educational school system
KORTIŠOVÁ, Jana
The occurrence of selected risk behaviour of some pupils of the primary education school system Abstract of the Bachelor Thesis The task of my thesis is to map and analyse the occurrence of selected risk and addictive behaviour in the population of primary education pupils in primary schools in České Budějovice region. In the theoretical part of my thesis I explain the term risk behaviour and its aetiology. I also describe various types of risk behaviour, which I have divided into drug and non-drug addictions and I characterize the period of adolescence here. For attainment of outlined goals are by quantitative research in a form of an anonymous questionnaire gathered data at six primary schools in České Budějovice. On the basis of these data are investigated the experience of pupils with selected risk and addictive behaviour. Nominally it refers to experience of pupils with alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs, bullying, gambling and using computer and internet. Basing on my research I also verify three prospective hypotheses. Hypothesis No. 1: Pupils have the first experience with legal addictive drugs before the age of twelve. This hypothesis was verified. Hypothesis No. 2: Pupils have first experience with illegal addictive drugs before the age of fourteen. Also here was the hypothesis verified. Hypothesis No. 3 claims: Absolute majority of primary education pupils have in the course of school attendance come across bullying. This hypothesis was disproved. From my research results no more than 34 % interviewed pupils came across bullying. The results of my bachelor thesis can be used for the needs of further research or for the needs of education and can be part of a preventive process in school system. The results can be also used for a better measure of informedness about selected risk behaviour of children and adolescents. Supervisor of the Bachelor Thesis: Mgr. Pavel Vácha Autor: Jana Vochozková České Budějovice 2008

Evaluation of the Primary Prevention of Risk Behavior at Elementary schools
ŠMATLÁKOVÁ, Iva
The title of my thesis is {\clqq}Primary prevention evaluation of the risk behaviour in primary schools``. Risk behaviour is a general term and there are different notions of what it covers. According to specialists in this field it is possible to determine three spheres of the risk behaviour. The first sphere is the drug abuse, the second sphere is behaviour related to the reproductive health and the third is the risk behaviour in the psychosocial respect. These are current issues discussed in society. The phenomena of drug abuse, bullying or pathologic gambling addiction are the most frequent forms of sociopathology occurring in primary schools pupils. The current state description of this issue is drawn from specialist literature. The description deals with the term risk behaviour, kinds of social pathologic phenomena, the primary prevention both in-school and out-of-school and the target group {--} teenagers. The important risk behaviour development factor is prevention. The objective of my thesis is to learn how effective the measures imposed by family members, friends, media and mainly by the school environment are. The aim of the thesis is also to review the effectiveness of the risk behaviour primary prevention in primary schools. The partial aim is to survey attitudes of pupils and school consultants to primary prevention and to risk behaviour prevention. To collect data the quantitative method of anonymous questionnaires was used. The quantitative research in the form of a semi-standardized interview with school consultants was also used. The conclusions of the research show that children have considerable experience with drugs of abuse and school consultants do not consider preventive measures to be effective enough. The results of my thesis were made available to school headmasters and to prevention consultants and may be used as a resource in primary prevention.
