Relationships in classroom: influence of central traits on social position
Vonášková, Irena ; Valentová, Lidmila (referee) ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor)
In bachelor thesis was concerned with finding conjunction between central characteristics of children and their position in the group. What characteristics are wondered by children on their classmates? The research took place in 9th class in a school on a village and in Prague. I used the techniques in my research, SO-RA-D (kind of sociometry) and a repertory grid. I used SO-RA-D to discover the position of children in the group and repertory grid to discover central characteristics. Then I confronted these techniques with each other. In my research central characteristics was neatness and communicativeness, in both schools. The children in high sociometric position was labelled by their classmates like witty and talkative, the children in low sociometric position was labelled like no talkative and poky. Other central characteristic was different in the classes. The techniques elicit similar but not the same things. SO-RA-D elicits the position in the group, and the repertory grid gives our information about characteristics, which are considered by the members of group crucial for the group. When we join these two techniques together, we can discover the characteristics which, is crucial for constructing group's hierarchy.

Flirtation between girls and male teachers at grammar school
Votřelová, Lenka ; Duplinský, Josef (referee) ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor)
The goal of the work is to gain an overview of attitudes of male teacher to the behaviour of schoolgirls, in which there appears the flirt element. I think that in the area of school relationship (but also elsewhere) there exists very slight border between the "appropriate", "adequate", "inadequate" and "inappropriate" behaviour. I am interested in the slight border from the point of view of a pedagogue. Because I am dealing with the relationship between a teacher and a pupil (especially relationships between a male teacher and a schoolgirl), 1 would like to focus on the both persons involved in the interaction of this relationship. I am interested in the type of circumstances influencing the pedagogical relationship, what could be "a risk" for the both groups individually, or if the essential circumstances meet. In the theoretical part I am dealing with the themes "pupil", "teacher" and the pedagogical relationship between them. Considering the goal of the work it is not possible to omit the theme of sexual abuse, which may be a result of a flirt of intimate relationship between a teacher and a pupil. There is a risk, which changes an innocent flirt into something banned, inappropriate. The teacher uses this way his power and authority, although there does not have to be the bad intention and the effort to...

Comparing leadership in boy's, girl's, and mixed groups
Svobodová, Ivana ; Valentová, Lidmila (referee) ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor)
The purpose of this work was to map and to compare the way of leadership of girls, boys and mixed groups. One girl, one boy and one mixed basketball teams were studied. The interview with trainers of these teams were carried out and focused on the problems connected with the leadership of child sports teams. The results of the conducted research show that the differences in the leadership of child sports teams are not important from the point of view of the training structure. The observed differences can be assigned to the different attitude of the trainers to the role of sport in the life of the school-age children. The trainer's ambitions and aims are also the differing influences. The trainer expectations can also influence the way of leadership and support. These expectations are based on ideas of different qualities and abilities of girls and boys and also on the idea of their different motivation to sport. The work with children in the mixed group can be influenced by the fact, that such mixed group has no prospect from the point of view of basketball competitions.

Group discussion analysis
Slavík, Radovan ; Smetáčková, Irena (referee) ; Hadj - Moussová, Zuzana (advisor)
The presented thesis is focused on oral discussion in small groups with supervisory leadership. There have been many researches in social psychology made during last 50 years concerning discussion in groups of various sizes and under various conditions. Several studies have reported the use of the group discussion situation as an aid to select candidates for positions involving leadership, but just a few, if any of them were situated in school environment. As a main tool of our research we used an educational computer game Europe 2045 where each student represents a leader of member state of the European Union (EU) and the class therefore represents the EU as a whole. During the game, students were able to present drafts for policy changes to the EU for which they needed to find enough support among other players. This was to be achieved by the diplomatic discussions where each student could present his or her opinion on the subject and try to persuade others to join his or her cause. Thanks to this we managed to observe groups of 16 to 22 secondary school students in the age of 16-19 years discussing a wide variety of political subjects. Some of the problems discussed were controversial (e.g. legalization of prostitution, smoking prohibition etc.), some quite abstract (e.g. the president of EU, the...
