Gender stereotypes from teachers' approach to students at the Grammar School.
Mrůzková, Helena ; Havelková, Hana (advisor) ; Smetáčková, Irena (referee)
Gender stereotypes exist in society at large, and in the education system in particular. These stereotypes show the male as the dominant person, who works outside the home in often prestigious occupations. The female is usually showed as being subordinate and confined to the home. Moreover, these stereotypes give the fact that females choose predominantly humanistic and domestic sciences, while males choose science and technology. In my dissertation I analyze gender stereotypes that are in teachers' minds at the Grammar School. Eight teachers participated in this research, in eight different classes. The research is separated into three basic parts: videotyping of lessons and their analyze, the self-reflection from teachers and finally, individual interwiev between researcher and respondent that is also analysed in the name of gender stereotypes. The aim of my research is to analyze gender stereotypes from teachers to students with aspect of different access to girls and boys.

Tactile book as one of tools for visually impaired children development
FLÍČKOVÁ, Radka
This bachelor´s thesis deals with the topic of tactile books as means of the development of a child with visual impairments. Its theoretical part is divided into four chapters which handle an individual with visual impairments, classification of people with visual impairments, specific development of a child of preschool age with this kind of impairment, tactile viewing, tyflographics and production of books with tactile illustrations. The main aim of my thesis was to find out the opinions of the parents who have children with visual impairments on tactile books and also to find out which possibilities these books offer to children. For that, I have specified seven survey questions. The first survey question was focused on where it is possible to borrow the tactile books. The second question concerns whether these books are of a good quality, interesting for parents and children and if there is enough of them. The third question dealt with the differences in reading of tactile books which depend on the rate of the handicap and child´s gender. In the fourth question children´s reactions to these books were examined. In the fifth question the parents were asked whether they find these books useful for their children or not. Then in the sixth question I examined which abilities of the disabled children are developing during the work with this book. Finally, the seventh question dealt with factors which influence the work of preschool child with the tactile book. The examined target group consists of parents of children with visual impairments in the Czech Republic and a blind preschool boy. The qualitative research strategy was used and the data were collected on the basis of semi-structured interviews, observation and document analysis. Most of the families have their books sent by post. The waiting time for the book depends on whether it is available or not. According to the provided answers, parents have enough books and they consider them to be of a good quality. They mostly said that a parent reads aloud to a child, tries to get him involved in the story, explains and helps with tactile reading. Blind children are usually first focused on a detail and there is an equal ratio of boys and girls. The children do not have any problems with materials during tactile viewing. Mostly the parents said that children use the book several times in a row. The parents see the main benefit of these books in the fact that their combine auditive sensation with tactile sensation, develop communication skills, imagination and they also introduce the world of healthy people to these children. Considering the results of my investigation, I would say that the tactile book can be perfect tool for improving the child´s manual dexterity, speech and communication, space and space-time orientation, tactile and auditory perception, memory, thought, attention, social relations. My experience gained during observation of the blind boy working with the tactile book leads me to the conclusion that many factors such as motivation, attention, the person working with the child, place, mood, position of the child, health condition and the book itself are important.

In 1999, France, after a long and dragging debate, revised its Constitution in order to enable the installation of gender quotas in elected political bodies. In 2000 'parity laws' were enacted.

The basic principles such as manufacturing, technology and categorization of beer are explained in the theoretical part. Next the beer market in the Czech Republic is illustrated following with consumer characteristics. It is researched from two different angles. As the first there are marketing factors influencing buying habits of the consumer himself.
