Negotiating tactics and their application in the IRS.
BAREŠ, Jaroslav
The Integrated Rescue System secures many activities related to protection of lives, health and property of citizens. The system employs workers that, through performing given jobs, enter into relationships with persons in emergency situations; such situations require special procedures among which you can find negotiating. The thesis at hand describes how negotiating strategies are applied in the negotiation process. It delivers an assessment of the current state of negotiating strategies among the employees of the IRS bodies, especially the level of their awareness of using such negotiating strategies in emergency negotiations with aggressive persons and persons demonstrating suicide intents. The thesis examines the frequency at which the IRS employees must face emergency situations that involve emergency negotiations, and it identifies the extent to which these officers are ready to cope with such situations. Subsequently, the thesis compares strategies employed in negotiations pursued from operations centres and those pursued while carrying out the duties under normal circumstances and in emergency situations; with regard to the individual IRS bodies. The thesis discusses the development of these strategies concerning the development of the society and culture. Through quantitative research based on questionnaires and additional interviews with negotiators-specialists, the thesis examines practical knowledge of the topic among the members of the IRS bodies when it comes to application of negotiating strategies. The target research group comprised of the IRS employees proportionally representing the Police of the Czech Republic, Fire Rescue Service, and Emergency Medical Service in the Region of South Bohemia. The outcome of the thesis shows that the members of the IRS bodies, except the police negotiators, do not have any significant experience with negotiating as a particular activity. Professional training improves communication skills, but on the theoretical level only. Most of the interviewed IRS employees showed interest in improving their negotiating strategies and they would welcome a document listing basic mistakes that occur while communicating with an aggressive person or a person demonstrating suicide intent. An overview of elementary mistakes that occur in such type of communication has been elaborated and is recommended for distribution among the IRS bodies.

The role of special teachers in schools in inclusive education of children, pupils and students with disabilities
ROMOVÁ, Eliška
This bachelor thesis deals with a special education teacher?s role in inclusive education of children (pupils, students) with special eduacational needs in the ordinary school. The aim of this thesis was to focus on the role of a special education teacher in inclusive education. It explains and emphasize the importance of this profession. The theoretical framework defines the concept of integration and inclusion. It describes the history of integration and its existence in documents. The process of inclusive education is analyzed with respect to different special needs. Educational consultancy facilities and consulting services for individuals with disabilities are also mentioned. The practical part investigates teacher?s activities and responsibilities in inclusive education. The method of participant observation and structured interviews with teachers and parents of integrated children (pupils) were used. Special Education Centre and Pedagogical-Psychological Counselling were contacted. Two nursery schools and an elementary school were visited by the author of this thesis (along with special teachers). Children with different dissabilities were observed. Finally, the thesis presents the research results: A great importance of a special teacher?s role in inclusive education is blatantly obvious. Positive relationships among a special teacher, a child, a teacher and child?s parents are essential. A comprehensive approach to an integrated child is apparent: a special teacher is a kind of mediator during an integration. He informs and presents the process and procedure of all activities to teachers and teaching assistants. Therefore, his profession is extremely important and almost indispensable. The thesis can contribute to all the students who are interested in this issue. It can also help the schools with inclusive education. Last, but not least, parents of children with special educational needs (SEN) find many answers for their questions here.

SATURATION OF THE NEEDS AT THE CHILDREN WITH IMPAIRMENT THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF THE SCOUT GROUPS IN KARLOVY VARY
PIRASOVÁ, Michaela
For children with certain health problems and thus special needs it is very hard to find suitable opportunities in non-formal education where they can fully integrate and fulfil themselves, and where there are adequately capable instructors or leaders. Parents of these children are looking for leisure activities for their kids, where their uniqueness was fully accepted and their needs were met in a completely natural environment. In my bachelor thesis I try to clarify the term of human personality and uniqueness of a person in relation to the human perception. I emphasize the necessity of meeting human needs and warn against the fail to meet them, which can adversely affect the quality of life. Among these needs I highlight in particular the sense of belonging; the need to belong somewhere and to be accepted, recognized and to have the opportunity to develop and grow. I characterize here children with specific needs, define health and disease. Deal with interpersonal relationships and integration of these children among peers. I describe the current state of their possibility of integration in scout units in Carlsbad, the suitability of this form, and I try to discover if mutual expectations are fulfilled. To collect data I used the qualitative research, the method of interviewing, the technique of semi-directed interview and the participant observation method. In this research I evaluated four research groups; children with special needs, their parents, other children, and leaders of the units. I see positive results of research contained in this bachelor thesis as a motivating element and call for entry of children with special needs into the Scout organization as well as a call for other organizations dealing with children's leisure activities.

Zootherapy for Pupils with Special Education Needs in District Tábor
KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ HAVLOVÁ, Jitka
Zootherapy, as a relatively new method, is categorized within a comprehensive rehabilitation and in special schools. Here is used not only as suitable relaxation and diversification of lessons, but also in targeted work with children ? development of physical, mental, emotional and social skills. The animal is not the only mediator, but a welcome friend, to which many children with disabilities have closer relationship than to other people. Dogs are loyal friends, without any conditions, they are willing to snuggle and play, offering a plentiful amount of initiative, the child is not bored with them and he /she learns new skills naturally. Horse riding gives to children a sense of uniqueness, joy, freedom, it increases their self-image and it develops child´s motor activity. And even small animals (hamsters, quinea pigs, turtles, budgies etc.) are able to awaken happiness, interest and through love to an animal it is only a step to love other people.

Realization of environmental education in special schools
ŠVECOVÁ, Markéta
Environmental education puts emphasis on getting to know our environment and its relationship with man, and becoming aware of the necessity to preserve conditions for life. Constant care of our environment is closely linked to the state of the environmental awareness and education level of the population. The Ministry of the Environment bears responsibility for environmental tuition, education and public awareness (hereinafter EVVO). In this respect, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, which published methodological instructions to bring the EVVO into practice, is no less important. This bachelor thesis is divided into the theoretical and the practical parts. The theoretical part contains a description of environmental education, its realisation in schools, the state EVVO programme, special school system and the EVVO in the Region of South Bohemia. The research part of the bachelor thesis made use of qualitative research. To fulfil the objectives defined I chose the survey method. The technique used to collect data was an individual non-standardised interview. The research set consisted of the EVVO school coordinators, school headmasters/headmistresses or teachers responsible for EVVO in special schools in the region of České Budějovice. The objective of this bachelor thesis was to find out in which way environmental education was realised in all special schools in the region of České Budějovice. All the research questions have been answered, and it has been found out that environmental education is realised in six out of seven special schools, and all these six special schools realise environmental education in similar ways. These six special schools realise environmental education within school subjects, and they chose the combined form of play and theory. All respondents use various aids in their lessons, and five of them take part in environmental education projects. Six special schools realise environmental education according to the Framework Education Programme and two of them draw on the EVVO methodological instructions. The services of ecological centres are used by six special schools realising environmental education, but financing these services is complicated for them. The results of this bachelor thesis may contribute to a better orientation in the questions of the EVVO realised in special schools, and they will be offered to the Cassiopeia Ecological and Global Education Centre for the project ?I Cannot See, I Cannot Hear, But I Know ??.

The attitude and the role of siblings of children with strong mental handicaps in a family
HAZUKOVÁ, Michaela
In the theoretical part I devote to the problems of a health handicap and its division. Further I describe a model of the psychic crisis of parents evoked by the recognition that their child has the handicap. There are outlined specifics of the family that is taking care of the hard handicapped child targeted to the parent of the disabled child and especially to his healthy sibling. An aim of the experimental part is: 1st - to discover how healthy children spend their leisure time with their hard handicapped siblings, 2nd - to find out which requirements from the neighbourhood are laid on the sibling of the handicapped child. For a realization of the experimental part of the work I chose a qualitative type of the research, a questioning method, an interview technique. The research took place in a private milieu of the handicapped children´s siblings without a presence of another person in the period from May to July 2009. Respondents I chose from my own sources thanks to my voluntary activities in ARPIDA Centre. I addressed in total 10 healthy siblings, 7 of them were willing to take part in the research in the end. The experimental set No.1 was made up of healthy siblings at the age from 13 to 21 years. The set No. 2 was made up by three siblings with a hard health handicap being with the persons from the Set No. 1 in the sibling relationship. All the respondents live in České Budějovice or its surroundings. Results of this experiment showed the fact that healthy siblings dedicate their leisure time to their siblings with a handicap mainly in activities they can do together. They are as follows: watching TV, playing games, looking at sports matches, helping to cope with acts etc. Above all the respondents classified their shared time as family rituals: dining, afternoon siestas, feasts, celebrations and visits. All the respondents stated that they feel a greater pressure from their neighbourhood on themselves and each of them bears with the situation in another way. The above mentioned bachelor work can be used in institutions working with families, i.e. Pedagogic psychological counselling services and Special pedagogical centres. This work can also be a contribution for the families of children with the health handicap themselves.

Fostering in Classical Czech Foster Families and Fostering in Special Institutions for Foster Care-Big Foster Families. A Collation of These Two Forms.
WENDLIGOVÁ, Michaela
The thesis is a probe into the picture of alternative family care in the Czech Republic, oriented to the foster care. In the theoretical part a description of alternatice foster care for children removed from their biological family is given. It is concerned with vital needs of such children and their psychical deprivation. It tries to show why mothers waive their child and shows some aspects of social work in this field. The practical part of the thesis is concerned with the qualitative research that compares fostering in classical Czech foster families with fostering in special institutions {--} so called Big Foster Families. Research investigations are taken from the point of view of teenaged children being in foster care, and research is based on principles of modern (professional) fostering. The research investigations contain six interviews with children from classical families and four with children from special instituions for foster care. (The research is not concerned with SOS villages) Good quality of the foster care does not depend too much on the fact whether it is provided with a classical foster family or with a fostering institutions. It depends, first and foremost, on the character foster parent, i.e. if he/she is able to create positive relationships with the child and if he/she is able to adopt and accept the child unconditionally.
