The influence of media on the play of childern in the preschool period
ČAPKOVÁ, Eva
Is it possible that watching children's shows and freely available videos on YouTube could influence children's free play? This bachelor thesis addresses this topic. The theoretical part focuses on defining media, the impact on children, emphasizing the benefits and risks of audiovisual content for children, particularly in the areas of prosocial and aggressive behaviour. The aim of the bachelor thesis on the topic of Media Influence on a Child's Play in the preschool period is to find a connection between watching movies and series intended for children and their free play. In the practical part, interviews were conducted with children to find out what movies and series they watch and who their favourite hero is. Subsequently, a content analysis of these audiovisual works was conducted, as well as observations of children's play, aiming to identify correlations between the behaviour and actions of favourite characters and a child's free play.

Spontaneous play of preschool children in kindergarten.
BARTOŠKOVÁ, Tereza
This bachelor work deals with the phenomenon called a free play. In the theoretical part of the bachelor work there are described the perspectives of famous theoreticians on the play, the gradual development of the play by preschool child and further the benefits of the play for his complex development. The conclusion of the theoretical part deals with a free play, its specifications and its sense for preschool education. The aim of the bachelor work is to monitor what space reality for a free play in different nursery schools there is and what attitude towards the play the nursery school pedagogues adopt. In the practical part the method of observation of children was used for the research, but not only in a free play but also all day long during their stay in the nursery school. The data acquisition of individual pedagogues´ attitudes to a free play was made in the form of interviews. From the results of the observations and interviews it is obvious that the space for a free play is mainly influenced by the total time of the children´s stay in nursery schools, but even by the pedagogues´ abilities to arrange the daily routine in such a way that the free play is more included. From the research further follows that the space, which is determined for the play, depends on the children´s age.

Case Study: Day-Care Center and Childern Culture
Saladygová, Magda ; Abu Ghosh, Yasar (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
This case study based on a fieldwork carried out in a Day-Care Center tries to describe the process of the transition from mothering to wider society which is represented by a classroom of preschool children. Within this process we can note and describe specific ways of parent's, teacher's and especially children's actions. These activities are repeatedly produced. The point of departure is the Hirschfeld's article "Why Don't Anthropologists like Children?" (Hirschfeld, 2002) and his affirmation that children are active participants within process of accepting of social regulations and values and that they create their own culture, "children culture". This study ilustrates that the process of the transition from mothering to wider society is in the first place the process of the separation of child and mother. Within this process we note the function of the "object transitional" that compensate the absence of mother. And we can also observe how the group of pupils is formed and how their group identity is created. This group is situated in a specific place and time. And we observe that all individual actions concerning child are "embodied"- it's because we talk about an "experience that involve the whole person, including the body" (Abu-Lughold, Lutz, 1990 cit. in Ben-Ari, 1998: 138).
