Development of rhythmic sense of preschool children in a heterogeneous group
Šumpíková, Magdaléna ; Kmentová, Milena (advisor) ; Hons, Marie (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the development of rhythmic sense in preschool children in an age-heterogeneous group. A field study was carried out in a nursery school to investigate the development of rhythmic sense in individual children over a period of three months. The thesis is divided into two main parts: theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part, the thesis focuses on musical rhythm and its components, the sense of rhythm and how to develop rhythmic sense, and the issue of rhythmic sense diagnosis. The practical part describes the characteristics of the researched group, the course and results of the field research framed by the individual diagnosis of rhythmic sense of children in kindergarten. The aim of the research is to verify the validity of the existing test of rhythmic sense according to Miloš Kodejšeka with a new musical component (songs) in children aged 3-5, for whom the existing test has not been used before. This test proved to be almost functional in the research, except for one item and part of the non-continuous scoring scale. During the research period, the rhythmic sense shown by the pre- and post-test improved in almost all children.

Verification of rhythmic abilities of university students in the field of education and physical education and sport
Kašparová, Alena ; Novotná, Viléma (advisor) ; Pelclová, Jana (referee) ; Kyselovičová, Oľga (referee)
The thesis is focused on creating a test battery for the sense of rhythm assessment for university students in the field of Physical Education and sport. Music-sports practice lacks such tests and so far it is forced to use only tests designed for the music field. The structure of the new tests corresponds to the characteristics of the sense of rhythm from the point of view of music psychology. The tests are divided into three sections, which are Perceptual Skills and Activities (items 1 to 18), Reproductive Skills and Activities (items 19 to 27) and Production Skills and Activities (item 28). The Classical test theory (factor analysis) and Item response theory (two-parametric model) were used for the statistical processing of results. The methods also included the calculation of the reliability and validity of the test. The expected refusal of the proposed hypothesis was confirmed in both the classical test theory and item response theory. The exception was model 4, whose fit indexes, especially TLI = 0.537, showed a lack of evidence for the refusal of the hypothesis rather than for a perfect fit of the model with the data. The aim of the research was to compile and test models whose conformity with the data would be the best. The most favorable conformity was for model No. 1 and No. 5. Model 1...
