Competencies of a lecturer in pedagogy of experience
Hoznauerová, Viola ; Horáková Hoskovcová, Simona (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Zdeněk (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to characterize the most important competencies of a lecturer, who uses methods of experience pedagogy. The word "competency" means required abilities, knowledge and personal characteristics as well as different tasks and related authority of a lecturer. One part of the thesis deals with competencies of lecturers of social-psychological trainings. That is because these trainings are focused on social competencies which are essential for lecturers in experience pedagogy. The last chapter focuses on evaluation of lecturers. Specifically I describe a system of evaluation in an NGO called "Jules a Jim", mainly the process of creation of a competency model of a lecturer using methods of experiential learning. On the basis of the results of the evaluation I would like to propose recommendations on training lecturers at Jules a Jim.

Průchová, Petra ; Horáková Hoskovcová, Simona (referee) ; Šírová, Eva (referee)
The Fairy Tale Test (FTT) is a projective personality test designed for children aged 6 to 12 years. FTT is based on the association between fairy tales and unconscious processes. Its goal is to assess the child's personality profile and to offer information not only about single personality traits but also their interrelations. It is possible it effectively employed as a method to assess eventual personality changes over time or as a tool in clinical or cross-cultural research as well. The Fairy Tale Test was standardized in five countries of the world - Greece, Russia, China, India and Turkey, at the present time we effort to set up standard specification also in the Czech Republic. This rigorous paper should also contribute to the standardization with administrating FTT and its evaluation to the selected sample of six to eight-year-old children. Key words Fairy tales, interpretation of the fairy tales, projective tests, the Fairy Tale Test, younger school age.

Practical part of the thesis is presented by the current phenomenon of postponing the transition from childless to maternal stage of woman's life with the help of analysis of internet discussions where the motivations of young women for the postponing of motherhood are studied.

Factor analysis revealed the same number of domains, but with slightly different item distribution. Reliability measured as the Cronbach's coefficient alpha was the same for Positive Self Image (.69) and better for Negative Self Image (.77) compered to original (.69 both).

Psychological intervention for mothers of premature newborns
Matoušová, Milada ; Šulová, Lenka (advisor) ; Horáková Hoskovcová, Simona (referee) ; Hříbková, Lenka (referee)
The disertation thesis focuses on the problem of premature delivery and the effect of a premature newborn on his parents' mental state and feelings. In particular, mothers of premature infants usually experience premature delivery in a very negative way. It is a difficult life situation, which increases demands on both parents, respectively on the whole family. The level of immaturity and medical condition of the premature child significantly affect and violate the natural contact and the early parent-child interaction, which in turn affects the development of their relationship. The consequences of the premature birth for parents and children may last very long, because the immaturity at birth carries a risk of health problems for the whole life. Medical care of premature newborns in the Czech Republic is at the high level and statistical indicators of this specialized care are at the top. In order to archive the best results, excelent medical care for premature infants must be completed by specialised psychological support and assistance given to the parents and whole families. Key words: risk pregnancy, premature delivery, prenatal development, limit of viability, premature newborn, early interaction, breastfeeding, child care
