KOPTYŠOVÁ, Monika
The bachelor thesis deals with problem behaviour of young people. Ad they grow up, many teenagers have to face a behavioural disturbance, either as a person affected by such problem or as a witness of social pathologies. The causes and the development of problem behaviour might be different. The research project analysed the relation of problem behaviour of young people and the economic status of their family. It analysed the basic traits of problem behaviour of the respondents (such as experience of respondents with police investigation, the presence of feelings of social inclusion or exclusion, self-esteem and self-satisfaction and others). The research sample consisted of young people aged 13 to 18 (Lata and the Woodcraft League of the Czech Republic organizations), using a questionnaire as a research tool. The bachelor thesis is divided into the theory and the research. The theoretical part describes the issue of factors influencing the occurrence of risk behaviour in the youth. It also defines individual types of problem behaviour. The research revealed that the closest social environment, i.e. parents and educators and peers, is involved in the occurrence of problem behaviour of young people. It also shows that it is vitally important for the young people to learn to take full responsibility for their behaviour. They have to learn to decide about the way of their life with better future prospects and better awareness of possible problems

Modern technology from the viewpoint of a secondary school teacher (from 6th grade to 9th grade)
Doležel, Radim ; Syřiště, Ivo (advisor) ; Duschinská, Karolina (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I deal with taking advantage of using modern technology, as about important form of modern education, and how often do teachers involve modern technology in education in general. I concern myself with different types of modern technologies, their usage and how they can be engaged into education. Among other issues, I mention also educational projects "Vzdělávání 21" or "Škola dotykem" which pursue using modern technologies in teaching. I speak also about on-line technology which is an indivisible part of modern technology in common. I compare advantages and disadvantages of engaging these technologies into tuition and I try to present a comprehensive view on this issue. Method section concentrates on the results from the research questionnaire where I mostly investigated the relationship between the teacher and modern technology. I asked schoolteachers whether these technologies are supportive of them or they are just an obstacle in educational process, which technologies are they familiar with and if the teachers actively use the technology in their classes. Nevertheless, research questions included the viewpoint on how the technology determines some of the characteristics of the pupils in class.

The applicability of psychological reports within the educational intervention
Vetchá Puškášová, Irena ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Mertin, Václav (referee)
One of the standard roles of educational psychologists is to conduct assessment and communicate the outputs in a form of psychoeducational reports, to suggest a guide for appropriate prevention and intervention work with children and adolescents with a variety of special educational needs to their parents, teachers and other professionals. However, the outcome of the examination is often not presented sufficiently, on an adequate level, to become a useful source of information for further work of educators, for reasonable accommodations and support. The presented diploma thesis aims to contribute on the basis of theoretical background and a presented qualitative research to extend a general theoretical framework on real usability of psychoeducational reports, implemented by school psychologists and the possibilities of optimizing the form and content of these reports. Specifically, the point is to improve the efficacy and usefulness of the report and make it optimally usable for the teacher or educational advisor when designing and implementing an individualized training plan for the pupil with special educational needs in an inclusive school-based setting. The thesis tries to map the usefulness of different kinds of psychological reports. Data collection was conducted via interviews. The target group...

Hlaváčová, Lucie ; Teodoridis, Vasilis (advisor) ; Králík, Miroslav (referee) ; Švecová, Milada (referee)
An evolution is considered the single greatest unifying theory in biology. Therefore, evolution is a crucial topic from the perspective of didactics of biology because it reaches contemporary paradigm of science education. These doctoral thesis deals with the educative aspects in the field of evolutionary biology. Given the fact that educational content and understanding of causal patterns in science may be influenced by the sociocultural background, the whole research is carried out in comparison with Great Britain. The main aim of the thesis is carried out three successive analyzes. First, the occurrence and the content of definitions of evolutionary terms in Czech and British science or biology textbooks have been compared (16 Czech and 16 British textbooks). Data were evaluated using content analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. Subsequently, a comparison of teaching evolution has been made using a questionnaire survey (350 Czech and 122 British teachers) and interviews (10 Czech and 7 British teachers). Finally, a comparison of the Czech and British pupils' knowledge and opinions on specific evolutionary topics were obtained via a questionnaire (964 Czech and 97 British pupils).

Problematics of Text Writing in Foreign Languages at Czech Secondary Schools with Specialization in Russian
Malá, Alena ; Žofková, Hana (advisor) ; Nečasová, Pavla (referee) ; Fenclová, Marie (referee)
The dissertation analyses how to approach teaching of writing skills in Russian language at Czech secondary schools. In the theoretical part I define what a "writing skill" is. I focus on the linguistic, psycholinguistic and didactic aspects of the teaching of writing. I explain attitudes to writing skills in different teaching methods in history and nowadays. After that I set out the requirements for testing writing skills in some of the most common documents: Common European Framework for Languages, European Language Portfolio, international exams in Russian language ТРКИ (Тест русского языка как иностранного) or TORFL (Test of Russian as a Foreign Language) and the state final exam in Russian language at Czech secondary schools. In the practical part, I first analyse selected Czech and Russian textbooks for grammar schools to compare their approach towards teaching writing skills in native languages: Czech and Russian. Then I set out analysis of Czech textbooks used in the Czech Republic for teaching Russian, focusing in particular on the exercises used to teach writing. After that, I evaluate answers from two questionnaires that I gave to secondary school graduates and teachers of Russian. My goal was to understand the issues they face and any problems they experience in practice when learning...
