Program education of citizens in the field of population, with special emphasis on disabled persóna
MAZÁK, Tomáš
The aim of this thesis was to analyse the current state of upbringing and education in the field of human protection in emergency situations, with particular emphasis on persons with disabilities. For this purpose, there was implemented a questionnaire survey and there were created two questionnaires a questionnaire for teaching staff at special schools and a questionnaire for their directors in the South Bohemia region. The questionnaire for teaching staff comprised 37 questions and was organized into two thematic sections. The questionnaire was a combination of open and closed questions. The first seven questions were used to obtain the information needed to characterize the investigation file. The first block was focused on respondents' knowledge; questions were focused on the issues of the integrated rescue system, civil protection, first aid and questions of selected emergencies (floods, radiation accident, biological agents), then the knowledge of the recommended ways of behaviour in the development of selected incidents. The aim of the first block of the questionnaire was to find out the awareness of teachers. The second block was aimed at self-education in this field and the assessment of the importance of teaching these issues in schools. The replies of teachers of this thematic bloc served to complement the views, experiences and observations of respondents related to this issue. The questionnaire for directors contained 19 questions. The questionnaire was a combination of open and closed questions. The first 6 questions were used to obtain the information needed to characterize the investigation file. The second part of the questionnaire focused on issues that dealt with school directors' own opinions in the South Bohemia region. The results of the questionnaire were analysed using Excel from Microsoft Office software package. The main objective of this thesis was to determine the awareness of teachers. For good measure of awareness I set the limit of 75% correct answers. Results can be assessed as very startling. I learned that most of the teaching staff haven´t basic knowledge in the issues of personal safety in emergencies. For this reason, they would like to educate themselves in the form of organized trainings. Directors, who also think that their schools have enough teaching aids for both normal and disabled students, also showed this interest. Although these answers were disproved by the teaching staff, who claim the opposite. As a result, it can be understood that the present state of education in the field of human protection in emergency is very individual and depends only on the approach of teaching staff. There are no special teaching materials and uniform system that would unite all schools and provide them with the necessary tools. The thesis provides insight on teaching human protection in emergencies and the teaching staff's own opinions about it. My results can be used as a basis for further research investigation, because I think it would be appropriate to elaborate on some passages. Performance of work at special schools for the disabled entails a number mentally, but also physically demanding situations. These situations teachers and directors manage very well. In this area there are many schools, specifically aimed at one disability, but also those that work with various disabilities. School education programs and this teaching the topic of human protection in emergencies need to be adapted to the needs of children and students with special educational needs so as to achieve consistency between educational requirements and actual abilities of these pupils. Currently, schools use to teach a variety of assistive aids to address special educational needs of the pupils, but there are no didactical tools, special textbooks (study materials in Braille, sign language recordings) that would through its form and content reflect the needs of disabled persons.
