Flekácsová, Katarína ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Viktorová, Ida (referee)
My thesis focuses on electronic communication between adolescents and teachers and the aspects of communication among adolescents with regards to their teachers. I used all the resources mentioned below, as well as my realised research. This theme has not yet been completely processed. As a result, I have aimed to create a comprehensive view on the function of electronic communication within the teacher - student relationship. This essay consists of two parts; a theoretical view and a practical view. The theoretical view consists of four chapters. The first two chapters deal with the specificity of the virtual world and its place within the lives of adolescents and how they communicate. The last two chapters of the theoretical view are focused on the school environment. The third chapter talks about relations of adolescents with teachers and relations among adolescents themselves. The final chapter within the theoretical view covers issues of virtual communication in relation to the school and education. In the practical view, I present quantitative public opinion surveys carried out in the 3rd class of high schools. The research focuses on the neutral, positive or negative ways in which adolescents use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to communicate with teachers and how they...

Gender roles in fairy tales
Lechnýřová, Lucie ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Francová, Veronika (referee)
Fairy tales have an educational and socialization impact on children. In fairy tales children find answers to questions, problems and situations, that life brings them. Fairy tales reflect true life - people come into the world, fall ill, die, get poorer, steal, get jealous, love and hate to death and they are willing to lay down their life for helping others. A child feels genuineness of story, finds something what it had experienced itself. Children identify themselves with fairy tale characters and their characteristics, heroes of stories are their models. So naturally children create their hierarchy of values, because moral message of fairy tales is clear and that is its advantage for children. Fairy tales interfere in all aspects of life and education. One of the aspects is the area of gender. In my research I presented the children a traditional fairy tale and less traditional fairy tale, where male and female roles are reversed. The aim of the research was to find out how boys and girls perceive the division of roles in fairy tales. I led structured interviews with children and compared the collected data with the gathered theoretical information.

Career choice in adolescence: role of gender stereotypes and identification with mathematics
Louda, Petr ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Rendl, Miroslav (referee)
Career choice in education and the acquired/achieved level of education are factors that influence social status of men and women. Despite the fact that women, on average, currently achieve a higher level of education than men, women's marketplace status and their height of salary often do not correspond to it. One of the reasons is a low proportion of women in mathematics-related subjects. The aim of this research was to investigate the role of gender stereotypes and identification with mathematics in career choice. In the theoretical part of this thesis, I introduce the basic terms related to gender and gender stereotypes, the role gender plays in institutions and the potential causes of gender differences in the performance in mathematics. In the empirical part, I analyse data from a questionnaire study investigating career choice, level of identification with mathematics, attitudes to courses in the curriculum and the level of gender stereotypes in Czech adolescents. The results suggest few differences between girls and boys in these areas. However, the level of identification with mathematics and the level of gender stereotypes in the career area are related to the educational career choice.

Mothers and fathers in the comunication with the school
Čašková, Barbora ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Viktorová, Ida (referee)
The aim of this work is to describe communication between school and mothers and fathers. The first part of the work is a treatise about what has been so far found out about possibilities of communication, structures of relationships and circumstances affecting the relationships between parents and school. Besides that, the work shows models categorizing forms of relationships, and evaluation of optimal relations between school and parents. The work also focuses on gender, mainly on gender of parents, and its influence on forms of communication. Although studies focused on school communication usually use the term "parents" it is women - mothers who have dominant representation. This paper shows in which cases fathers communicate and how it is perceived (mainly by teachers). The theoretical part is followed by presentation of authors own empirical research. It is a case study focused on communication between mothers and fathers and school from the perspective of both parents and teachers. The study was carried out at a Prague grammar school and is based on processing questionnaires that were filled out by both teachers (15 forms) and parents (145 forms). In the study, several fields of communication are observed, mainly frequency, means and themes of communication, its general evaluation,...
