School advantage of Romany children attending tutoring program in SaSM - DDM ČB and their awareness of risk behavior
RŮŽIČKOVÁ, Jana
The Bachelor Thesis School results of Romany children attending a tutorial programme in the SaSM - DDM ČB and their awareness of risky behaviour responses to a frequently discussed topic of low education and qualification level in Romany communities and also to the high rate of risk behaviour occurrence particularly among Romany children and young people living in socially excluded locations. In the theoretical part I deal with the issues of education of Romany people including out-of-school education, then the specifics of a Romany family as the primary socializing factor. I specify selected forms of risky behaviour most frequently faced by the children. The Bachelor Thesis was aimed at describing the influence of the tutorial programme provided by the SaSM - DDM ČB on school results of Romany children and on their awareness of risky behaviour. The research results show that the tutorial programme only makes sense with regard to the school results if it is provided on long-term basis. However it has permanent influence on improvement of respondent?s self confidence, thanks to which the children are not afraid of putting their hands up in class and they also feel more successful. The Centre is also involved in the field of primary prevention of risky behaviour. The staff strives for teaching the respondents to use their free time in active and meaningful manners. The SaSM - DDM ČB offers an alternative to spending free time in risky manners. Apart from the research results and setting the research hypotheses this Thesis contributes to pointing out the importance of non-governmental non-profit organizations that help Romany children in the field of risky behaviour prevention and out-of-school education.

The Influence of free time activities of gipsy children and youth as a prevention of socially pathological phenomenon in SaSM - DDM ČB
ZIMANDLOVÁ, Monika
The thesis topic, is the use of free time activities within the framework of the Salesian centre in České Budějovice (specifically its detached work-place, the contact centre Maják) as a preventative method against unruly behaviour, it pursues the problems of unruly behaviour in the target group of gypsy children and teenagers and its prevention. The theory part of the thesis introduces the theoretical outcomes of free time pedagogy and social pedagogy. Furthermore the thesis includes a brief description of the problematics of the gypsy minority population (for example the low education standard of gypsies, which has a great effect on the appearance of unruly behaviour), vocation and preventative principals of the Salesian centre in České Budějovice. The aim of the work, was to identify the potential of using free time activities as one of the possibilities for preventing unruly behaviour of gypsy children within the framework of the SaSM - DDM ČB. The practical part of the thesis uses qualitative strategic research, which was carried out with the help of a semi-structured discussion. The research was carried out in the detached workplace of the Salesian centre in České Budějovice ? The contact centre Maják. During the research, thirteen respondents, within the ages of 7-13, had been addressed. On the basis of the findings received from the research, it is possible to say, that preventative activities, which take place during the free time activities of the Centre, are in a greater part aimed at a general problematics of unruly behaviour rather than particular cases of unruly behaviour which appear with particular group of gypsy children and teenagers. Majority of the activities are being realised through the employees of the centre. Preventative programmes prepared for a target group took place mainly in the form of lectures and utilising of alternative methods has been completely forgotten, even though the employees of the organisation are aware of its necessity. From the results obtained from my own research it is possible to deduce the following hypothesis: H1: Preventative programmes of the centre are general. H2: The centre is aware of the risky behaviour of its clients , but their preventative activities are not directly prepared with this condition of the behaviour. H3: Preference is given to the preventative activities prepared within the framework of the centre over activities that have been requested from independent individuals/organisations. H4:Alternative methods within the framework of the preventative activities are not preferred.

Selected Risk Behaviour at the Secondary Schools in the Region of Domažlice
ČERNÁ, Pavlína
The topic of this bachelor thesis is ?Selected Risky Behaviour at the Secondary Schools in the Region of Domažlice?. Risky behaviour is a phenomenon threatening societies across all cultures. Its negative consequences can be intensified even more if it occurs at the adolescent age. Healthy development of adolescents is at risk under its influence. It affects the biological, psychological and social features not only at the time when the adolescent behaves risky but also in future when the individual has to bear the consequences of such behaviour. The thesis compromises of a theoretical part, in which selected forms of risky behaviour along with the protective factors that significantly affect this type of behaviour are briefly characterized. The goals stated are defined and the research in question, including the comparison of the results ascertained with the findings of other authors that are presented in the theoretical part, is described in the practical part. The occurrence of risky behaviour cannot be entirely eliminated, however, it can be reduced at least or it is possible to postpone its beginning. Primary prevention is used for this purpose. Monitoring of risky behaviour on which the practical part of this thesis is focused can be used as one of the basic evaluation tools for prevention. The research was conducted at the secondary schools in the region of Domažlice. These were various types of schools differently orientated ? a grammar school, a business secondary school and an apprentice school. The data of the learners of these schools were gathered on a quantitative basis through questionnaire investigation. The questionnaires were distributed among the responders at schools. Great emphasis was put on anonymity of the questionnaires and assuring the responders that the questionnaires filled in by them will not get in hands of any of the close authorities. Therefore the authority was not present when the learners were filling in the questionnaires. The highest validity of data could have been ensured in this way. On the basis of the data gained the hypotheses stated before were confirmed. The goal of the research was to map the occurrence of the selected risky behaviour at the secondary schools in the region of Domažlice. Comparison of the responders? involvement in risky behaviour for boys and girls was defined as the first of the individual goals. The other individual goal was to compare the occurrence of risky behaviour at the individual types of schools. The research obviously suggests that it is not possible to comprehensively define whether it is boys or girls who behave more or less risky. It can be only said that some selected phenomena are more typical of males, others of females, occurrence of others is comparable for both of them. When observing risky behaviour at the individual types of schools, the occurrence of unwanted phenomena is significantly higher at the apprentice school compared to the other types of school. The number of adolescents behaving risky in the region of Domažlice corresponds to the average of the Republic. The results of the thesis can be used for implementation of effective primary prevention, for the needs of further researches, and, last but not least, as a theoretical framework for education in this area.

Sufficient Number of Providers of Primary Prevention of Risky Behaviour in the Town of Příbram
ŠVŮGEROVÁ, Hana
My bachelor thesis is called ?Sufficient Number of Providers of Primary Prevention of Risky Behaviour in the Town of Příbram?. The aim of the primary prevention is to prevent occurrence of risky behaviour or to postpone the first experience with it as latest as possible. The aim is to prevent from increasing occurrence of risky behaviour. Primary prevention is provided by school methodologists of prevention who choose prevention activities which are used to improve social skills at schools for their pupils and learners. Risky behaviour is such behaviour leading to increase in social, health and other risks. Primary prevention should focus on the following areas, in particular: addictive drug use, bullying and cyber-bullying, netolism, gambling, HIV/AIDS and eating disorders. Other phenomena that should be prevented are political and religious extremism, manifestations of racism and xenophobia. Schools use services rendered by providers offering prevention of various forms to ensure primary prevention. In order primary prevention is efficient it should be long-term and continuous. It should be started with the prevention 2 ? 3 years before the first contact with a particular phenomenon. Single activities such as lectures or discussions which do not use the potential of the target group within the programme are less efficient. The goal of my bachelor thesis is to find out whether there are a sufficient number of providers of primary prevention of selected risky behaviour and to do evaluation of primary prevention at the schools in Příbram. The research in question was conducted on a quantitative basis and completed with the method of questioning using a semi-structured interview in order to verify the data on a qualitative basis. The main part of the research was done using content analysis of data of the minimum preventive programmes at the selected primary and secondary schools. I consider the fact that the schools in Příbram do not implement prevention of all types of risky behaviour in accordance with the guideline of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the Czech Republic as the fundamental result. It is most common to ensure prevention in the area of addictive drug use and diseases of HIV/AIDS. On the contrary, the minimum prevention is implemented in case of cyber-bullying, netolism, gambling and eating disorders. Prevention is dealt at the primary schools late with. The interviews with the school methodologists of prevention suggest that the most common reason for not doing prevention in these areas at schools is the assumption the matter is not necessary or image of uselessness and late impact of preventive activities. Only two methodologists of prevention notified of lack of providers of primary prevention, which relates to the issue of bullying and cyber-bullying, alcohol and racism and xenophobia in particular, in Příbram. On the basis of this I believe that the fact the schools do not do primary prevention of all types of risky behaviour is not caused due to lack of providers. In my opinion, an eventual solution to the current situation at schools could be, in particular, if primary prevention is embodied in the laws of the Czech Republic more firmly. The results of my thesis can be used as a basis for improving the quality of primary preventive activities at the individual schools in Příbram, for the needs of further research, or as material for lay public interested in prevention.

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.
