School adjustment of children with ADHD
KARBÁČOVÁ, Marika
Bachelor thesis deals with school adjustment, children with ADHD. Experts estimate that in the Czech Republic is over twenty thousand children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). In our population it affects 6 9 % of children, so it is important to pursue this issue. The theoretical part is divided into two large areas. The first area deals with the definition of ADHD syndrome. There are individual characteristics with specific symptoms and also is there described adjusting nature of these children. Another subchapter of the thesis briefly deals with the historical perspective on the development of ADHD, explains the causes and incidence in the population of this syndrome. The last subchapter presents the diagnosis of ADHD syndrome. The second big area deals with adaptation, where is also explained a school adjustment. There is analysed each development of the adjustment and followed by a specific course of adjustment at an elementary school. The empirical part focuses on finding and describing the nature of the adjustment of children with ADHD, eventually it also describes curiosity or deficits in school adjustment compared with healthy children, without ADHD syndrome. To confirm my hypothesis in this bachelor thesis is used quantitative research. Anonymous and voluntary questionnaire was designed for kids from ordinary primary schools. A total of 50 questionnaires are processed. The questions in the research study are divided into five regions - the general area, the area of hyperactivity, attention, impulsivity and school environment. The results showed that children with ADHD showed during the school adjustment deficits in these five areas, compared with children of normal primary schools without the disorder. Bachelor thesis should help to improve work with children affected by ADHD and raise awareness about the importance and relevance of the topic among educators, parents and interested members of the public.

School adjustment of children of migrant parents in Marianske Lazne
VANIŠOVÁ, Markéta
The main topic of this bachelor´s thesis is "School assimilation of children of migrant parents". The theoretical section of this thesis firstly explains the basic terms and concepts, such as migration, emigration, immigration and refugees. The thesis then looks into the causes of migration and to the problems of migrant families that may arise during the acquisition of Czech citizenship. The largest part of the thesis focuses on assimilation issues of foreign students at elementary schools. Meaning that we can find the outline of the whole end-to-end process of integration of foreign students, starting with their registration, class assignment, up until their evaluation. The thesis also demonstrates a variety of school activities that tend to help to integrate such children. Moreover, we can also find here factors influencing the integration of foreign students, which are an integral part of each of them. Last but not least the thesis contains the most important chapters dealing with prejudices, different attitudes, racism, but primarily with mutual tolerance and full adaptation to the society. This bachelor´s thesis is intended to introduce readers to everyday issues of foreign children, which they may encounter during their integration into the mainstream society. This section is devoted to a research of eight different foreign students and their four teachers, who are trying to maintain a reciprocal tolerance among themselves. In the research part we can find a very recent topic of refugeeism, which gets more and more attention day by day and may end up having a huge impact on everybody's life. The research shows that some Czech teachers and children might begin to generalize foreigners into negative groups of society through mass media. This is related to the issue of ethnic discrimination, which teachers in Mariánské Lázně quoted doesn't exist in it's schools. Some foreign students however reported otherwise. A much more detailed analysis of such statements and claims is presented in the thesis. This thesis may be useful to students who are studiyng the issues of international migration, or to students of educational disciplines who are interested in broadening their knowledge in this field as a way to fill some information gaps.
