The launch of ČT:D television channel through the eyes of pedagogical staff and the parents of preschool children
Novotná, Helena ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Zábrodská, Kristina (referee)
In August 2013 a new television channel called ČT:D was launched in the Czech Republic - a public service children's channel. In this thesis I introduce ČT:D and put it in contrast with the commercial channels. The thesis includes a summary of children's television channels which compete with ČT:D during the research period, as well as an overview of public service television channels which broadcast in European countries, focusing on German KiKA and British CBBC and CBeebies. As part of this thesis a research was carried out utilizing in-depth interviews to examine preschool children's parents' opinions on the new broadcast. Especially interesting and valuable are the interviews with a preschool teacher and a special needs educator, who looks after disabled children on a daily basis. The research was conducted in three stages and thus records the parents' expectations, their first impressions and evalution of the specific shows, as well as of the channel overall. For the conduction of the interviews and their analysis, subject areas were set so that this thesis focuses on the differencies of ČT:D from the commercial channels when presenting the parents' opinions and on the perception of its public-service aspect, also on its safeness, utilization of web sites, the downsides and recommended...

Chraščová, Veronika ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Zábrodská, Kristina (referee)
The objective of this Bachelor's thesis is to primarily establish whether the Horrible Histories series is suitable for children aged 8+ as recommended by the authors. Furthermore, I focus on the influence and impact that the series may have on child viewers; I am interested in the educational benefit of the series and I reflect on the position of the Horrible Histories as an entertaining educational programme. In the theoretical section of my thesis I focus on the characteristics of ČT :D, the Czech Television channel designed for children as well as on the book and film series called Horrible Histories. I also mention the theme of the effect of television on child viewers. Main emphasis is put on the empirical part of my thesis. 50 children aged 8-12 years were enrolled in the survey. I have also collected opinions of teachers and parents of the children of the age under scrutiny, which should confirm or negate the results of my research. The results show that the programme is suitable for the minimum age of 10 years. In order to comprehend the context and get the maximum benefit from the programme, the ideal age is 12 years. Watching the series at lower age may have a negative impact on the children. The educational benefit of the programme is minimal anyway. Parental mediation seems ideal in...
