Difficulties in chidren of preparatory classes with a focus on impaired communication ability
Smejkalová, Eva ; Felcmanová, Lenka (referee)
Abstract:Abstract: Communication constitutes the ability to express and share our thoughts, experiences and feelings in everyday life. Communication also plays an important role in the process of education. In education, we gather information, adopt it, learn how to work with it and continue to use it. The position of the child and the pupil with impaired communication ability is much more complicated in this case, because the difficulties in speaking are transferred to the communication process and can affect the management of school skills. Educating pupils with impaired communication skills is a challenging task. Pupils are unable to organize and express their thoughts sufficiently, their speech is often incomprehensible, they do not understand the teacher's interpretation exactly, they cannot speak fluently enough to meet a common communication standard. For these reasons, they come under psychological pressure and sometimes prefer to stop communicating completely. The main goal of the presented rigorous work is the analysis of the most common difficulties of children with impaired communication skills included in the preparatory classes of primary schools. Subsequent evaluation with a description of the most common difficulties due to school immaturity leading to school postponement are part of the...

The main topic is a socially disadvantaged pupil, their needs and current educational opportunities are taken into account. Special attention is given to Roma children and pupils with regard to cultural and ethnic specifics. The practical part is processed in the form of 12 case studies describing individual families from socially excluded localities and their attitude to children's education.

Petrů, Jana ; Procházková, Jana (advisor) ; Janošová, Pavlína (referee)
In the diploma thesis I concentrated on an approach of preschool teachers to children whose school attendance was postponed. Thesis is divided in two parts. In theoretical part I deal with a definition of school maturity and readiness, which are the basics to find child's troubles with postponement of school attendance. Then I delineate present situation in the Czech Republic - I define contemporary concept of preschools, I deal with compulsory school education and possibility of postponement of school attendance. In the last chapter of the theoretical part I concentrate on the approach of teachers and in sub-chapters I define activities and impact which they have. In empirical part I used a snowball sampling to approach some preschool teachers. Eleven teachers from Prague and Plzeň region have participated the research. After filling in questionnaires focused on individual children whose school attendance will be postponed, questions were adapted to the main research method - interview. Using thematical analysis I discovered various approaches of teachers to organizing forms of work, cooperation with parents, cooperation with specialists, documents in preschools, contemporary perspective of postponement of school attendance in the Czech Republic.

Pupils' awareness of the chemicals used in ordinary households
GREŇOVÁ, Romana
The aim of this thesis was to formulate a questionnaire for respondents who were students of the first and second degrees from randomly selected primary schools in the municipality of Prostějov with extended powers, and thus evaluate the pupils' awareness of treatment with chemicals commonly used in the home. This issue is related mainly to parents of minor children. Most of them do not even know how many hazardous substances are stored at home, and how fatal accidents may be associated with them. Children are often said false information, for example, that drugs are sweeties. Nevertheless it would be sufficient to inform children about danger of chemicals. It is also necessary to think about storage of gasoline or other solution, because pet-bottle of Kofola is not a good choice. The first section of the theoretical part is devoted mainly to compulsory school system and things connected with the study at elementary schools. It describes the Framework educational programme for elementary education, curriculum and its layouts associated (connected) with the issue of human protection in emergencies. Next section focuses on the administrative districts of municipalities with extended powers. It defines basic terms such as administrative district. It describes the administrative district of municipalities with extended powers of Prostejov in detail. Another section is devoted to dangerous chemical substances. It defines basic terms such as toxicology, acute exposure, chronic exposure and more. It describes all the features according to physical security and also features of substances that are dangerous to our health. Thus the reader is aware of what information is on chemicals normally used at home. The following subsections describe dangerous chemicals used in everyday life,especially safe dealing with them. It defines the Toxicology Information Centre. In which cases people call there, what is the telephone number, what to say first and what question they ask. The most important subsection deals with storing chemical substances at home and the first aid in case of poisoning of children by individual funds. In the second part of the thesis the hypothesis of low awareness of chemicals used in households among pupils from schools in the municipality of Prostějov was formulated. The aim of the research part of the thesis was to find out if the awareness of chemicals used in ordinary households among pupils are high or low. The research was conducted at 1st and 2nd grade of primary schools. Pupils fill in the questionnaire with 13 closed questions. From the results we can see, that the awareness of chemicals used in ordinary households among pupils at 1st grade is low. The results were compiled in Excel program and were evaluated in graphs. The statistical analysis of the results was conducted in R program, where all graphic outputs were exported directly from this program and all the values were copied from the output of the program. Kruskal-Wallis test was used at the end of the statistical survey to verify hypotheses. Based on the results, we can confirm the null hypothesis, we can say that both grades have reached the same results in the questionnaire. In conclusion the thesis proposes precautions that could improve the knowledge of pupils of compulsory school attendance in manipulating with dangerous chemicals commonly used at home, and thus to prevent accidents, which continue to rise.
