Works of world literature comprised within reading of contemporary high-school graduates
TOMS, Tomáš
As the attitude of readers to literature is evolving in time, the form of state graduation exam and related compulsory reading is evolving as well. Current high-school graduates have the obligation to read at least 20 books from the lists that are prepared by their schools. The goal of the bachelor thesis Works of world literature comprised within reading of contemporary high-school graduates was to find out the pre-graduating students´ attitude to world literature. We confirmed that the quantity of pages of the work is important for graduates during their choice of compulsory reading, they appreciate books that are not so time consuming and they prefer prose to drama and poetry. The majority of respondents take into account a recommendation of more experienced reader, a teacher in our case. The research also showed that in spite of the obligation of graduation exam at high schools and the obligation of reading books from the limited recommended number of books, the graduates are not discouraged from reading other books and they read books of their own choice in their free time. In these publications, the genre of fantasy, sci-fi or detective novels, is dominating. Most of the current students are well informed about foreigner and Czech literature and they are able to match several representative authors and works to their countries.

Slavík, Radovan ; Valentová, Lidmila (advisor) ; Pavelková, Isabella (referee) ; Grambal, Aleš (referee)
The subject of this thesis is test anxiety in Czech secondary school students in perspective of the graduation exam and its influence over their overall academic performance in this exam. Results of a study conducted in the academic year 2017/2018 among 439 graduating secondary school students in six secondary schools in Prague is presented The aim of the study was to verify a test anxiety model based on Lazarus's transactional model of stress, Ellis's cognitive A-B-C model and other subsequent models of different authors (e.g. Hodapp and Rost). The model used in this study thus approaches test anxiety as a form of a stress reaction that consists of three successive steps: (A) activating event in the form of a test situation, (B) cognitive appraisal, and (C) emotional and behavioral consequences part of which is the academic performance. Both steps B and C further consist of a variety of unique components and outcomes. Quantitative data collected with the utilization of an extensive test battery of eight self- evaluating tests, an anamnestic questionnaire and exam results allowed for a further statistical elaboration. Multiple linear regression, Spearman correlation and factor analysis were utilized to reduce total number of variables of the original theoretical model so that it would better and...
