School advantage of Romany children attending tutoring program in SaSM - DDM ČB and their awareness of risk behavior
RŮŽIČKOVÁ, Jana
The Bachelor Thesis School results of Romany children attending a tutorial programme in the SaSM - DDM ČB and their awareness of risky behaviour responses to a frequently discussed topic of low education and qualification level in Romany communities and also to the high rate of risk behaviour occurrence particularly among Romany children and young people living in socially excluded locations. In the theoretical part I deal with the issues of education of Romany people including out-of-school education, then the specifics of a Romany family as the primary socializing factor. I specify selected forms of risky behaviour most frequently faced by the children. The Bachelor Thesis was aimed at describing the influence of the tutorial programme provided by the SaSM - DDM ČB on school results of Romany children and on their awareness of risky behaviour. The research results show that the tutorial programme only makes sense with regard to the school results if it is provided on long-term basis. However it has permanent influence on improvement of respondent?s self confidence, thanks to which the children are not afraid of putting their hands up in class and they also feel more successful. The Centre is also involved in the field of primary prevention of risky behaviour. The staff strives for teaching the respondents to use their free time in active and meaningful manners. The SaSM - DDM ČB offers an alternative to spending free time in risky manners. Apart from the research results and setting the research hypotheses this Thesis contributes to pointing out the importance of non-governmental non-profit organizations that help Romany children in the field of risky behaviour prevention and out-of-school education.
