Barvová, Lucie ; Valešová Malecová, Barbara (advisor) ; Šumníková, Pavlína (referee)
The thesis The Possibilities of Bibliotherapy in the Development of Communication Skills of Young School-Age Children with Symptomatic Speech Disorder deals with the question whether bibliotherapy can be used in the educational process as one of the methods for developing communication skills. The work is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical one focuses on the characteristics of the younger school age and language development in this period in order to better understand the issue of symptomatic speech disorders. Possible deviations in language development which lead to this impairment of communication ability are explained. The paper also describes brief characteristics of symptomatic speech disorders in children with intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, hearing impairment and ADHD. Finally, specific recommendations appropriate when communicating with students suffering from communication disorders are provided. Furthermore, the theoretical part summarizes the findings in the field of bibliotherapy and its possible use with younger school-age children. The practical part aims at proposing an appropriate bibliotherapy programme that can be applied in Czech language classes and will develop children's communication skills in the area of active and passive vocabulary,...

Štěpánová, Lucie ; Krčmářová, Tereza (advisor) ; Poche Kargerová, Jana (referee)
The topic of the diploma thesis is the solution of problems / conflicts between pupils in the 5th year of primary school. It deals with the causes of conflict situations in the classroom, conflict resolution strategies and the possibilities of their prevention. In the theoretical part, I focus mainly on the characteristics of the quality classroom climate and the specifics of pupils at a younger school age. I will summarize the types and causes of conflicts between students and the possibilities of how to prevent them, especially through the targeted development of their social skills. In the empirical part, in the form of action teacher research, I will try to reduce the frequency of conflicts and increase their ability to manage them in the 5th grade classroom, where I work as a class teacher. I will use the questionnaire "Our class", recording and analysis of specific situations, interview with students and analysis of my own reflective diary. To improve the social skills of students, I will use methods and techniques, especially personal and social education, which I will regularly include in the teaching of students.

Changes in pupils' understanding of models of fractions
Hillebrandová, Eliška ; Janda, David (advisor) ; Kvasz, Ladislav (referee)
Fractions are a dreaded topic not only for students but also for teachers. The reason is that it is a breakthrough subject in primary schools, without which one cannot successfully continue in further studies. Therefore, in the first chapter of this thesis we will focus on understanding fractions through visual models (discrete and continuous - chocolate, circle, line segment, rectangle) that can be commonly found in textbooks aimed at teaching fractions. In the second chapter, using action research tools, we investigated how students' understanding changed over time following the interventions. The research consisted of two pilot tests and three iterations of the test over a two-month period in three seventh grade classes in a Prague elementary school. Specifically, the test focused on part-from- whole and whole-from-part search for the following three models: the discrete ordered model, the fraction-as-part-of-an-area model in a lattice network, and the number axis model. All results were graphically processed using tables, boxplots and we relied on statistical tests. In the third chapter, we summarized these results in detail and also pointed out the shortcomings of the research and how they can be addressed. It showed that there was a positive change in students' understanding of fraction...

The bachelor thesis focuses on the voice preparation of children in kindergarten. The thesis is conceived as action research. The theoretical part will describe what the human voice is and how it works. I will describe there how to work with the voice in kindergartens. Voice disorders can also occur in children of this age. Therefore, in this section we will find listed and posible voice disorders, how to recognize then and how to prevent them. The practical part of the bachelor thesis will be devoted to the action research itself. Six voice moments for preschool children will be designed, their effectiveness will be practically tested and evaluated. Each of the six moments will also include my hypotheses, which will later be confirmed or refuted. At the end of the work the proposed voice moments and their usability in kindergarten will be evaluated. All goals and hypotheses that will be set in the practical part will be evaluated.

ALTMAN, Nela
This diploma thesis examines the Present Perfect tense as a critical issue in the curriculum at the lower secondary schools. The Present Perfect tense in English was identified by teachers as a critical issue in the IPUP KA7 project - Inovace přípravy učitelů pro praxi. This faculty project investigated critical issues in the curriculum and included action research that provided the basis for this thesis. In the theoretical section, the thesis first defines critical issues in general and then analyses our chosen specific critical issue (the Present Perfect tense) from a linguistic and methodological point of view. In the empirical section, it discusses the research methodology and sets out the stages of the research, which it then implements. The empirical section includes an examination of the findings of scholars in the field of teaching the Present Perfect tense in comparison with teachers' practical classroom experience and also includes resulting recommendations for practice. These recommendations are applied to a model lesson to suggest solutions on how to overcome this critical issue.

Creating of local network of community midwives (Action research)
Zachová, Tereza ; Hájková Klíčová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Bosá, Monika (referee)
This thesis is based on action research which sits at the interface of midwifery and the management of health and social organizations. It maps the development of a local network of community midwives in Brno between 2021 and 2022. In the beginning, a Brno community midwife had a dream to work in a birthing house (midwifery unit). However, as this is currently impossible in the Czech Republic, she looked for different ways to work with her colleagues to provide accessible and quality care to women who demanded it. Thanks to a grant from the Brno-Centre district, five facilitated meetings of midwives were held. These meetings explored the motives and needs of midwives, the obstacles they face and their experiences in their practice. In this way, a service was being gradually designed that could provide women with individualised comprehensive support and care during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period, provided by midwives. Today, the original dream has taken concrete form - Nest. It is a (for now informal) group of midwives who meet regularly, have a defined common vision, shared values and principles of care, collect statistics from births, have regular supervision and gradually implement a system of substitution. They are becoming recognised among other professionals in their locality and...
