The Experiential Education and Its Implementation with Physically Handicapped People
PLOJHAROVÁ, Kateřina
The topic of my bachelor degree thesis was the experience-based learning and its implementation for persons with physical disabilities. In the theoretical part of my bachelor degree thesis I focused on the history of physical handicaps in Bohemia, on health and physical disabilities, on education and rights of persons with physical disabilities, experience-based learning and its elements and on non-governmental non-for-profit organizations. In the practical part of my bachelor degree thesis I focused on the definition of the objectives, methods and results. The first objective of the practical part was to map the offer and realization of free-time activities for people with disabilities in the South Bohemian region. The second objective was to inquire selected non-governmental non-for-profit organizations whether they provide any experience-based activities. The method of the research was a quantitative survey using the method of inquiry with a questionnaire developed specifically for the purpose. The survey was performed in March and April 2011 in non-governmental non-for-profit organizations that deal with free-time activities of persons with physical disabilities in the South Bohemian region. The total number of non-governmental non-for-profit organizations we approached was 15 and the number willing to participate was 8. The results of the survey have shown that five out of the eight non-governmental non-for-profit organizations realize free-time activities for persons with physical disabilities, while one of them performs such activities only marginally and on a one-off basis, two organizations deal with a different kinds of disabilities and one deals with consulting. Free-time activities that focus on experience-based learning are realized by DC ADRA, the 1st center for people with disabilities South Bohemia, Family Center Rozárka and the Association Handicapped Child. The set objectives have been achieved. The discussion contains an analysis of the results and a comparison of the results with the theory. The conclusions summarize the entire bachelor degree thesis. The thesis presents an integrated overview of non-governmental non-for-profit organizations in the South Bohemian region that work with person with physical disabilities and realize activities focusing on experiences.

Doing Philosophy with Children as a Way of Experience-Based Leisure Education
MACKŮ, Richard
The thesis presents possibilities and hazards resulting from the combination of experience-based education methods and those of doing philosophy with children. Having defined the terms used, it introduces the aims, key features and basic methods of leisure education; furthermore, experience-based education is described in more detail together with its fundamental elements: dramaturgy, adventure, reflection and games. The latter two elements are understood to be the links between experience-based education and Philosophy for children program. Then, the follow-up reflection on the interface between Philosophy with children and experiential activities is the substantial part of the thesis. Besides other topics, the philosophical aspects of games and reflection (review) as possible ways of experience-based philosophical inquiry are dealt with. Thus, in the closing part of the thesis, the potential for connecting philosophical inquiry and the experience itself is outlined.
