Evaluation of Zippy's friends for primary school age children
Masařová, Anna ; Pavlas Martanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Frombergerová, Anna (referee)
The thesis focuses on the Zippy's Friends prevention program, which is aimed at promoting social skills among children between 5-7 years of age. The first part of the thesis presents the theoretical framework for the main practical part. The goal was to conduct an evaluation of the implementation of this programme. The thesis is focused on alternative uses of the methodology and application. The data was obtained through semi-structured interviews with five respondents. The research shows that working with the methodology is not just a matter of the teacher within the classroom, but it involves a wider sphere of professionals working with children. In practice, the methodology is used not only for children between 5-7 years of age, but also for older children with various specificities. According to the respondents, some flexibility in working with the methodology and adapting it to the needs of specific children seems to be effective. According to interviewees, the Zippy's Friends methodology is a very versatile tool that can be used in different ways. However, the essence of the programme in the form of "Zippy Tips" and the Zippy's Friends story remains in most cases. Despite the fact that none of the evaluations conducted so far have dealt directly with alternative uses, some similar conclusions...

Extension of Langman's psychological theory of school shooters.
Kasalová, Petra ; Heider, David (advisor) ; Frombergerová, Anna (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of school shootings. It is based on psychologically oriented research studies focused on the shooter's personality, especially on the theory of Peter Langman. The first part of thesis, among other school shooting theories, describes and discusses in detail Langman's categorization system. The next part focuses on the analysis of five shooters after 2011, specifically John Zawahri, Jessie Osborne, Nikolas Cruz, Bryan Oliver and Robert Gladden. In addition, these cases are divided into attacks in which killing took place and attempted attacks in which no one was killed. Research questions concern the applicability of post-2011 cases to Langman's categorization and the differences between deadly and attempted attacks. The results of the thesis confirm the applicability of Langman's theory to the five early mentioned cases after 2011 and offer the possibility of a minor extension of the theory. KEYWORDS school shooting, Peter Langman, mass shooting, attempted school shooting

LGBT students in high schools
Vlková, Veronika ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Frombergerová, Anna (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the school experiences of LGB people, i.e. people who are homosexual or bisexual and currently attending high school (aged 15-19). The research used a qualitative methodology, specifically semi-structured interviews with 10 students, which were analyzed by using thematic analysis. The aim of the research was to describe and understand the situation of LGB people in the classroom and to find out the importance of the fact that they are not heterosexual in their relationships with classmates and teachers. The research shows that strong relationships between LGB students and their schoolmates are uncommon, but LGB students do not have this internal difficulty. LGB students rate the school and classroom environment as positive and they also mention support from teachers very often.

Resilience in first generation college students
Zumrová, Barbora ; Machovcová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Frombergerová, Anna (referee)
The Bachelor thesis is dedicated to exploring resilience in first-generation college students. The aim is to affect factors contributing to the design of resilience and stress management strategies based on analysis of study experience. The theoretical part represents the situation of first-generation university students in the context of mental health. Attention is paid to resilience, protective and risk factors, and specific factors that strengthen or inhibit resilience in these students. The empirical part uses complex methodologies: individual trajectory of study, The Brief Resilience Scale, and semi-structured interviews. The research sample is composed of ten first-generation students (21-24 years) studying full-time in humanities-oriented fields in the 2nd to 5th year of the bachelor's program. Individual medallions of resilience were created from the data collected and a thematic analysis of interviews was carried out. Research shows the importance of close relationships and a supportive learning environment for the development of higher resilience, at the same time for shaping resilience in some can be beneficial, overcoming the initial adversity that leads to building adaptability to burdens. Intrinsic motivation to study did not always lead to a smooth course of study, with tendencies...

Divišová, Anna-Marie ; Pavlas Martanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Frombergerová, Anna (referee)
The work deals with the experience of online teaching at the lower secondary school in the English language subject. This is a qualitative research investigation carried out by semi- structured interviews with English language teachers. The work contains authentic testimonies of respondents, experiences and their experience of distance learning in the autumn and winter of 2020. It presents profiles of individual respondents with their quotes.

The main research questions are: how teachers experienced online teaching; what positive and negative aspects were brought about by online teaching in the eyes of teachers; what behavioural or attitude changes were shown by pupils in the online environment in the eyes of the teacher.

The effect of social organization of games on the orientation in their moral dimension - revision of research done by E. Kuruczová
Jindrová, Jitka ; Klusák, Miroslav (advisor) ; Frombergerová, Anna (referee)
The author is reviewing the research that E. Kuruczová demonstrated in her diploma thesis called The effect of social organization of games on the orientation in their moral dimension. The main goal of the diploma thesis Kuruczová developed another contribution to Piaget's theory of the development of moral reasoning of school-age children. Piaget's empirical data suggested that social organizations could influence orientation in their moral dimensions. Kuruczová found that in her 180 children from one school (aged 1st - 9th grade) the development of orientation in the moral dimension of the game King of Deer Hunters (organized as a competition) performs ahead of the development of orientation in the moral dimension of the game Hot Potato (organized as a collaboration). Furthermore, in the research, children of Kuruczová think about the stories of unjust play situations organized by "Mrs. Teacher". Even the youngest and unoriented did not argue the evaluation of the situation as a fair authority of the teacher - which, according to Piaget's theory, could assume the key role of the criterion of obedience of authority in the heteronomous understanding of the criteria of moral evaluation. This thesis therefore answers the question of whether it can replicate these findings. Unlike Kuruczová,...
