Use of natural science museums and collections for educational purposes
Jandová, Jana ; Rajsiglová, Ina (advisor) ; Drda Morávková, Alena (referee)
Nowadays there is a considerable tendency towards encouraging students to seek for information and deepen their knowledge themselves rather than classical frontal educational methods. Thanks to this trend teachers tend to use i.e. museum collections for educational purposes in order to present life in the past as well as at present to students in a more enjoyable way. Everything that students learn by their own experience is sure to be remembered more vividly. The aim of my Master Thesis is to propose excursions to four selected museums. Worksheets are to be provided for each excursion and shall be tested in practice as well. The conclusion of the Master Thesis is that museums strive to attract schools with various educational programs, lectures and excursions. Nevertheless, they concentrate mainly on social sciences. Educational programs, intended solely for natural sciences or biology, are very rare. However, biology teachers may - to a considerable extent - use wide variety of expositions and collections of museums. Key words: excursion, educational program, worksheet, museum, children's museums

Work in social integration process of adults with intellectual disability.
SVITÁKOVÁ, Iveta
In my bachelor thesis, I dealt with the use of work activities in the process of social integration of adults with mental disabilities, the aim was to create, implement and evaluate regular work activities intended to a specific group of adults with mental disability and focused primarily on the development of social integration. The thesis is structured into six chapters. The first of them is focused on the definition of mental disability, characteristic of adulthood as an important developmental period in human life, and on adulthood of individuals with mental disabilities with a goal to find and identify the specifics that were needed to be taken into account when working with this target group of people. The following section is devoted to the social integration, its determinants and the environment in which it operates. I continued with the outputs in the third chapter, where I focused on key competencies, which them are the necessary basis for social integration, especially social and personal skills and communication skills, necessary basis. Targeted professional development can be realized through educational activities, but has to respect the specificities of the participants and voluntary participation. Both of these assumptions can be fulfilled within the leisure education using adequate pedagogical methods. For this reason, I decided to focus my attention on these areas at the end of the chapter. The fourth chapter is devoted to work and work activities, namely the definition of concepts, their characteristics and importance and role of work activities in human life, or a person with mental disability. Based on all acquired theoretical knowledge and using previous experience with the target group in the fifth chapter, I designed a specific training program based on the work and activities focused on the development of selected key competences. The educational program volunteered four participants, but I have decided to follow the development of competencies of three participants because one participant attended the program very irregularly. The program has been implemented three times a week, two and a half hours for seven months (from October 2015 to May 2016) in the premises of the training centre Mo-zai-ka. At the beginning of the realisation of the created educational program, the participants agreed that we will adhere and develop good habits necessary for good relations within the group and the results of the work. On a basis of the individual characteristics of the participants, I prepared the work, which should also contribute to the development of social and personal and interpersonal skills. I have continuously monitored and recorded them. During the implementation of the program, I put emphasis on repetition, patient negotiations with participants and creating a friendly atmosphere. After completing the training program, I evaluated the development of competencies in three selected participants. On that basis, I concluded that the biggest change was in the communicative competence. I also experienced a change in social and personal competencies, however, results varied widely among individual participants. Yet, I believe that the goal of the thesis was achieved. These results show that education in leisure time, based on work activities may lead to the development of social and personal and interpersonal skills that are for adults with mental disabilities necessary in the process of social integration. This thesis can be an interesting source of inspiration for the realisation of similar programs aimed at social integration of persons with mental disabilities.

Educational Activities in Leisure Time as an Opportunity to Promote a Healthy Lifestyle for Adults with Mental Disabilities
VÁVROVÁ, Michaela
In my thesis I deal with educational leisure activities promoting a healthy lifestyle for people with mental disabilities. The aim of this work was to create an educational program for adults with mild and moderate mental disabilities to promote a healthy lifestyle, which will be implemented in their free time. This educational program was created on the basis of the analysis of expert sources, taking into account the specificities of the target group. Bachelor thesis consists of four chapters. To fulfill the aim it was primarily important to gather all the important information on the topic of the forthcoming educational program and to capture all the specifics of people with mental disabilities, which was necessary to know for working with the target group of the educational program. That's why in the first chapter I focused on a healthy lifestyle and its main components, especially on healthy eating and drinking habits, physical activity, mental hygiene and relaxation and the second chapter deals with adults with mental disabilities, their characteristics, and their access to education. Here I mention the classification of mental disability, the main determinants of people with mild and moderate mental disabilities and teaching principles and methods in the education of adults with mental disabilities. The third chapter is devoted to problems which an adult with mental disabilities deals with in terms of a healthy lifestyle. These three chapters show how it is appropriate to impart information about a healthy lifestyle for individuals with mental disabilities and what specifically they should learn in this sphere so that this information could be processed and subsequently internalize. In the fourth chapter, I proposed an educational program to promote a healthy lifestyle, described the progress of its implementation and subsequently underwent the evaluation. The appendix contains an application for the program, teaching aids for this program, a certificate for the participation in the program and a booklet with photographs from the implementation of the program, which participants received after its completion. The aim of the program is to familiarize participants with the principles of a healthy lifestyle, the support of the internalization of these principles and possible lifestyle changes. The program consists of 12 lessons, covering the main principles of a healthy lifestyle, and it emphasizes the practical aspect. 12 people signed up for its implementation, which lasted three weeks. The implementation showed that participants already had a basic understanding of the principles of a healthy lifestyle, but they cannot implement them into their daily life, which this program tried to help them with. For the overall evaluation of the program, I chose both objective and subjective techniques. I focused on analyzing the activities of participants as the objective techniques and I used the self-evaluation and the statement of the program´s participants as the subjective techniques. By the method of analysis of practical activities of participants, which included the last two sessions, I was convinced that the entire group of participants knows how they should eat and how their health can be strengthened because the correct method was invented by them and they tried it themselves. By the methods of my own observation, I realized that the program was not planned flawlessly. Time grants were particularly in the discrepancy with the preparation. When re-implementation of the program I would either adjust the time allocated for individual lessons, narrow the target group or limit the number of participants to 6-8 people.
