Hluštíková, Eliška ; Nečasová, Pavla (advisor) ; Botlík Nuc, Tomáš (referee)
The diplomat heses focuses on the role of stereotypes and prejudice in the teaching of the German language at primary school. This thesis aims to contribute to a broader understanding of the relationship between stereotypes, prejudice and the teaching of German, both in academia and in the context of practical pedagogical practice. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the teaching of German as a foreign language, the characteristics of the RVP, key competences and the definition of stereotypes and prejudices, including their characteristics, types and the difference between the two concepts. The practical part of the thesis focuses on the implementation of the research, which is carried out in the form of questionnaires for lower secondary school pupils, structured interviews with German language teachers and an analysis of the school curricula of individual elementary schools. The results of the study provide important insights into the influence of stereotypes and prejudice on German language teaching in primary school level 2. The findings help to identify areas in which to focus on eliminating or mitigating the negative influence of these phenomena. Based on these findings, recommendations and strategies for effective German language teaching with regard to the prevention and reduction...

Bosnian diaspora through the eyes of Sarajevans - perceptions of emigration and stereotypes
Čajić, Sanina ; Šístek, František (advisor) ; Žíla, Ondřej (referee)
The master's thesis entitled "Bosnian diaspora through the eyes of Sarajevans - perceptions of emigration and stereotypes" brings a closer view of the Bosnian diaspora and public opinion about it from the perspective of Sarajevans. It represents a socio-psychological qualitative research based on the analysis of 18 semi-structured interviews with the inhabitants of Sarajevo. Using existing theoretical concepts, the primary goal is to explore and list the most widespread stereotypes about the Bosnian diaspora, regardless of whether they are war refugees or economic emigrants. The thesis also represents an attempt to identify the main reasons for their existence and maintenance and looks for possible proposals for their elimination. Whether the departure is legitimate in the eyes of Sarajevans, whether the diaspora lives better, how it was affected by life in the "West" and to what extent Sarajevans are aware of the diaspora's potential and benefits for Bosnia and Herzegovina are some of the questions this thesis seeks to answer. The political and ethnic dimension of the diaspora is not the subject of research, as cultural stereotypes about the Bosnian diaspora do not distinguish between different ethnicities. To complete the overall context, the emigration trends of Bosnia and Herzegovina are also...

Círlová, Iva ; Květoňová, Lea (advisor) ; Šumníková, Pavlína (referee)
The Master's thesis focuses on the independent and autonomous mastery of the parental role of people with severe visual impairment. The thesis aims to analyse and convey the experiences of blind parents with childcare tasks they manage independently from the support of seeing persons and with the compensatory strategies used. Furthermore, the thesis analyses the situations when blind parents prefer to be supported by seeing persons and what are the sources of such support. The attitudes of society towards parents with severe visual impairment are also evaluated and analysed. The thesis introduces topics such as the functioning of the family, the needs of its members, parental roles, as well as parenting of disabled individuals. Moreover, it focuses mainly on parents with severe visual impairment, the specifics of parenthood of blind people, prejudices, inappropriate societal attitudes and sources of potential support. Elements of the grounded theory research method were applied during the thesis preparation. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. The quotations selected illustrate the handling of the various themes and conclusions related to the research questions. The research has demonstrated that the respondents are not reliant on visual support for many childcare tasks and have...

Old Age from the Perspective of the Elderly
MLČOCHOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis title states "Old Age from the Perspective of the Elderly". It's theoretical part focuses on old age and population ageing, it's changes and quality. It also describes prejudices, stereotypes, ageism and discrimination, all of which are linked with ageing. This topic is pretty current because of demographic ageing of the population not only in the Czech Republic. That is why it is needed to pay attention to. The goal of this bachelor thesis is to find out how seniors of the age 65 and older perceive the time of being old. Partial goal is to find out if the elderly of the age 65 and above have encountered discrimination or stereotyping because of their age. For the purpose of data collection a qualitative research strategy with polling method and semistructured interview technique were chosen. The informants were elderly of the age 65 and above, living in České Budějovice in a home environment. For the purpose of this research, 10 seniors were asked 5 of which were women and 5 men. The research took place in March 2020. The informants were chosen by a Snowball sampling technique. The acquired data analysis was implemented with open coding method, that enables the break down of the text to smaller parts. For displaying of the results were used diagrams and tables created in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. The research results show that the retirement for the elderly people don't mean end of life. Eight out of ten asked seniors perceived retirement positively. They described this change as a source of free time that can be used for hobbies and spending time with relatives. Seniors also said that ageing has its ups and downs. Eight of them stated couple of advantages such as mentioned free time. Only two seniors saw no benefit in being old. Seniors were also asked if they felt other people treating them differently after retiring. Seven informants stated that they don't see a difference. Two seniors stated that others treated them more politely than before and only one senior said, that others are treating him more arrogantly. To the question if the elderly encountered discrimination because of their age or gender, seven of them replied negatively and three of them positively. They felt discrimination in their job while being close to retirement. On the other hand none of the elderly have encountered discrimination because of gender. While being asked about prejudices, none of the informants have come across it. However, all the asked have encountered stereotyping. The informants couldn't answer question about myths about ageing as they weren't aware there were any.

How Children in Foster Homes Perceive Their Life Situation
SEKALOVÁ, Eva
In my bachelor's thesis, I deal with the issue of children placed in care institutions. The aim of the work is to find out the current view of children from children's homes, whether they feel their social disadvantage with respect to peers in the school environment, on social networks and during social events. The work is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes the functioning of the children's home, as a facility for institutional education, the area of social disadvantage and its impact on children at risk, and then discusses the approaches of social work related to the issue. In the practical part, a quantitative research strategy using a method of questioning is applied. The collection of research data took place in August to September 2019 using an anonymous questionnaire, to which 112 children, aged 7-18, from 11 children's homes from the South Bohemian, South Moravian and Moravian-Silesian regions responded. After processing and statistical evaluation of the data by the Chi-square method, applying a test of independence in the contingency table, my hypothesis was not confirmed, as only two out of fifteen questions showed a negative relationship between children's stay in the children's home and the behaviour of the environment. As a result, children from children's homes, in most cases, do not subjectively perceive their social disadvantage. This bachelor's thesis can provide an up to date information material for children's home management and it could also be used as a basis for further research on the subjective perception of children being placed in institutional care.

Life in the ethnically mixed family
FARKAŠOVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor thesis focuses on living in an ethnically mixed family. The first chapter of the theoretical part defines the basic concepts such as human race, ethnicity, ethnicity, nation and nationality. The second chapter deals with inter-ethnic relations. The third chapter is devoted to the Roma ethnic group, where the origin of the Roma is described only after their work in the Czech Republic. In addition to history, this chapter also focuses on Roma demography, Roma distribution, their social typology and lifestyle. The empirical part was processed using a qualitative approach. Interview was used as a method of data collection. The results of the research tell us that there are certain differences in the coexistence of two partners of different ethnicities, especially in their characters, these partners also face more difficult acceptance from family members. Such a relationship requires a lot of patience, compromise and determination.
