Fine arts and people with visual impairments
Eiseltová, Karla ; Jakubcová Hajdušková, Lucie (advisor) ; Pfeiffer, Jan (referee)
The bachelor's thesis entitled "Fine Arts and People with Visual Impairment" deals with the relation of people with visual impairment to fine art. In the theoretical part, I explain who the visually impaired person is and clarify the meaning of the visual art and give you a closer look to the subject of art education. The key part of my work is the knowledge I gained during my internship at the Jaroslav Ježek's School for the visually impaired and at the Primary School in Kostelec u Křížků. I took part in the art classes at both schools; we discussed art exhibitions, art classes, and accessibility of art for the visually impaired. The aim of my bachelor's thesis is a comparison of art education at the school for the visually impaired and the general education primary school. Furthermore I wanted to arrange correspondence between the students of both schools. The meeting will be set to take place during the next school year. KEY WORDS: visual disability, art, art lesson, haptics, exhibition, education

Thirty secondary school students aged 14-18 were chosen as the target group.

Life meaningfulness and acceptance of disability among people with visual impairment.
Cerha, Ondřej ; Loneková, Katarína (advisor) ; Šturma, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis deals with meaningfulness of life and acceptance of an affliction by people with visual disability. The work has been divided into two parts. In the review section, the author deals with a psychological approach to meaningfulness of life, with an issue of acceptance of visual impairment, and with specifics of meaningfulness of life over the course of a lifetime. The aim of the empirical part has been to test hypotheses regarding relationship between the meaningfulness of life and the acceptance of vision impairment. Key concepts have been operationalized by scores according to both inventories; the Meaningfulness of Life Scale (MLC) (Halama, 2002, 2009), and the Acceptance of Disability Scale - Revised (ADS-R) (Linkowski, Groomes, 2007). Data obtained from a sample of persons with visual disability (N = 84) has been used to test the hypotheses. For the first time a Czech translation of the ADS-R inventory has been put to practice and the author suggests a further use of the inventory titled Škála akceptace disability. In the empirical part of the study, the author also deals with possibilities of online administration of psychological test methods for people with a visual disability. These possibilities have been verified and confirmed in practice by the author. Of all the monitored...

"White cane, yes. Dictaphone, yes. But everything is already in Apple." The technification of blindness in the symmetrical approach of ethnography
Haspeklová, Sára ; Stöckelová, Tereza (advisor) ; Zandlová, Markéta (referee)
In the thesis I ethnographically study the process of interconnecting and mutual influencing of human and non-human entities in case of the visually impaired persons and the compensation devices based on computer technology. I examine this process, which I call "the technification of blindness", in symmetrical terms. The main theoretical inspiration for the study is the interplay of technology and the health-inconvenienced body and its consequences which are based on the Actor-Network Theory and related material-semiotic tools of social-science research. My aim is to analyse processes which enable/not allow to manage everyday activities to visually impaired persons in the Czech Republic, while they are using computer technologies and their relation with wider processes of accessibility. I trace mutual influencing of human and non-human entities on a specific configuration of visually disabled body with specifically modified personal computer, and with a touch-screen smart-phone. The study shows how the specific form of portable electronic and computer-based devices, which are specially adapted to seeing users, is what excludes blind and visually impaired persons from the interaction with computer technology. Such a cooperation and visual orientation of blind persons is allowed only thanks to...

Utilization of ICT technologies in realization of spatial orientation and independent movement of people with visual impairment
PECHEROVÁ, Kateřina
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to present the current state of usage of ICT technologies in the spatial orientation of people with visual disability in the theoretical level and on this basis to perform a qualitative survey focused on the advantage of the use of current applications for minimizing the limits in the area of independent movement of individuals with visual disability. In addition, the thesis focuses on the current offer of compensatory aids with ICT technology in the context of reducing the limits of independent movement of people with visual impairment and their contribution to their quality of life. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part presents the current offer of ICT-based compensatory aids within the spatial orientation and independent movement of persons with visual impairment. In the practical part, the work is focused on mobile phone applications, which help people with visual impairment for better orientation and movements in space. The research was conducted through an structured, semi-structured interview technique. The interview was performed with two men who have visual impairment, and these applications helped them with their spatial orientation and individual movement. A qualitative survey suggests that mobile phone applications for the visually impaired people focusing on orientation and movement in space are very useful and can help them very well to improve their quality of life.

The part-purpose was to add qualitative data to the comparison which analyse a meaning of practical life skills for a socialization process of visually impaired people in a qualitative design of a narrative biography. Concerning the purposes mentioned above two questions were determined: 1. Do particular subjects that mediate the practice of practical life skills exist in syllabus of curricular documents of Czech republic and Austria? 2. What are the differences of syllabus of selected curricular documents of Czech republic and Austria in connection with use of methods of practical life skills? The thesis is divided to theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part has four main chapters. The first one is focused on definiton of fundamental terms, aetiology of visual defects and its clasification and compensatory options. The second chapter is about visually impaired people. The third chapter describes practical life skills and its options and the fourth chapter is determined to a social integration. In the practical part of the thesis there are characterized the purposes and research questions, methods and technique of collection of the data.

Availability of physical activities for children with disabilities in their leisure time in Strakonice
ZELENKOVÁ, Eva
The goal of this thesis is to analyze the possibility of integration for children with visual-, mental-, and hearing- disabilities between the ages of 8 to 15 years into the offer of physical leisure time activities in the Jindřichův Hradec area. The theoretical part deals with the concept of disability, its characteristics and classification and the classification and characteristics of visual-, mental-, and hearing disability. Another component of the theoretical part is the characteristics of the Jindřichův Hradec area and the definition of the concept of a physical leisure time activity. The practical part of this thesis focuses on the very research done in the Jindřichův Hradec area. The research survey was done in a form of a questionnaire survey. 22 Trainers, 15 children with disabilities, 30 intact children, 15 parents of disabled children and 5 Directors took part on the research survey. Research assumptions "that the offer of leisure time physical activities for children with different types of disability is sufficient" were not confirmed. Although 100 % of trainers of leisure-time physical activities hold opinion that children with disabilities should definitely have an opportunity to integrate into leisure-time physical activities, but 55 % of them cannot offer to children with disabilities the option of integration. It is also due the fact that 40 % of trainers have no sports qualification. Intact children as well as children with disabilities are for integration of children with disabilities into leisure time physical activities. The same is true also for parents of children with disabilities who even do not insist on special sports qualification of trainers.
