Specific difficulties of adults with dyslexia
Táborová, Zuzana ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Mertin, Václav (referee)
This thesis deals with the difficulties of adults with dyslexia. Not enough attention is being paid to this issue in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of this thesis characterizes dyslexia and summarizes possible difficulties of adults with dyslexia on the basis of both Czech and foreign information sources. The empirical part of this thesis describes the research, whose main goal is to chart (especially cognitive) difficulties, which are related to common everyday activities. Another area monitored in this thesis is self-efficacy of adults with dyslexia in their everyday life. Data are compared with intact counterparts. The research group consists of 120 respondents, including 60 adults with dyslexia and 60 adults without dyslexia (66 women and 54 men). The intact counterparts were matched with adults with dyslexia based on the same gender, year of birth and highest education received. The whole set of used methods concluded the anamnestic part and three self-evaluation questionnaires - the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire, the Dyslexic difficulties questionnaire (created for the purpose of this thesis) and the General Self-Efficacy scale. The results confirmed higher difficulties of adults with dyslexia. The self-efficacy does not differ, however, it correlates more with difficulties in...

The Influence of regular physical activity on self concept of women
Polášková, Michaela ; Bahbouh, Radvan (advisor) ; Hrachovinová, Tamara (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to study physical self-evaluation and generalized self-efficacy within the self-concept of women. This is put in context with their regular physical exercise. a number of other variables are being examined to add the complexity to the topic of self-concept and sports. Among them there are Body Mass Index (BMI), subjective self- confidence, level of professional involvement in particular sport activity and whether the woman has children. The theoretical part of this work looks at the self-concept paradigm focusing on the physical self-concept of women and self-efficacy in sports. Furthermore it examines how the physical exercise is related to the mind. In the empirical part of the thesis physical self-evaluation of women was researched in context with the type of exercise they had been doing. This was examined in quantitative analysis of a group of 100 women who did sports. The research includes also relationship among physical self- evaluation, generalized self-efficacy and other variables. The research method used was the Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP) and Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). The results of the research are: There is no statistically relevant difference in physical self- evaluation of women based on the type of exercise they do regularly....

Attribution and self-efficacy of younger and older school children
Stárková, Tereza ; Šírová, Eva (advisor) ; Horáková Hoskovcová, Simona (referee)
The bachelor's thesis consists of scientific literature compilation and research design. At first, the theoretical part concerns motivation in educational process and the developmental periods the thesis is focussed on. Most attention is paid to concepts of perceived self-efficacy and attributions. The most important theories and terms related to both concepts are explained, followed by their development in childhood and connection to school work. In the empirical part, there are described ways of measurement are mentioned a this part devotes to relationship between self-efficacy and attribution, which is the topic of research design.

Kindergarden teacher and child interaction in problem solving situations
Mertinová, Aneta ; Horáková Hoskovcová, Simona (advisor) ; Šírová, Eva (referee)
This thesis deals with manners of interaction of teachers with children in kindergartens and focuses mainly on solving problematic situations. We are examining question on how to strengthen resilience of children and what ways of interactions with teachers contribute to this process. To find recommendations for interactions with preschool children, we are looking at needs and characteristics of preschool children and comparing various models of resilience in the theoretical part of the work. The theories of Bandura and Seligman form a basis for our approach, but we also contrast them with other sources. At the same time, we are looking at results of international studies describing nature of interactions in their preschool institutions. In the empirical part, we look at the question, which interactions teacher-child occur with highest frequency when solving a problematic situation and if these interactions from teacher to child can be considered as supportive for strengthening resilience of the child. Our research is based on the analysis of 242 events recorded in preschool institutions in Prague. We compare our results with German study of König (2006), from which we have adapted part of the coding scheme. Keywords: resilience, self-efficacy, mediated learning experience, children (preschool...

Possible Relationships between School Achievements and Specific Difficulties of Adults with Dyslexia
Táborová, Zuzana ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (referee) ; Mertin, Václav (referee)
This thesis deals with the difficulties of adults with dyslexia from the point of view of their school achievements. The theoretical part of this thesis characterizes dyslexia and summarizes possible difficulties of adults with dyslexia on the basis of both Czech and foreign information sources. This part also deals with the school career described in the context of dyslexia. The empirical part of this thesis describes the research, whose main goal is to chart connections between difficulties of adults with dyslexia and their school achievements. Data are compared with intact counterparts. The research group consists of 120 respondents, including 60 adults with dyslexia and 60 adults without dyslexia (66 women and 54 men). The intact counterparts were matched with adults with dyslexia based on the same gender, year of birth and highest education received. The whole set of used methods concluded the anamnestic part, the school questionnaire and three self-evaluation instruments - the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire, the Dyslexic difficulties questionnaire and the General Self-Efficacy scale. Results confirmed the connection between school achievements and the manifestation of dyslexia in adulthood, however only to a limited extent. This is probably caused by the inadequate care for these people...

Academic self-efficacy of high school students
Draberová, Jana ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Gillernová, Ilona (referee)
The concept of academic self-efficacy, which refers to Albert`Bandura`s self-efficacy theory, is an important factor in students` academic achievement. In this thesis we attempted to develop a research tool for assessing academic self-efficacy. The theoretical part focuses on general definition of self-efficacy and specific characteristics of perceived academic self-efficacy. The empirical part deals with the development of the questionnaire, with verification of its psychometric characteristics and determines its validity. The questionnaire was tested on a research sample of 611 students of five Prague secondary schools, aged 15 - 19. The findings indicate that the developed assessment tool is reliable, has good psychometric qualities and satisfactory validity, and is applicable in school practice. The research has also revealed interesting relations between academic self-efficacy and other variables such as gender, age or demanding school situations experienced by student. Keywords: self-efficacy, academic self-efficacy, academic motivation, high school students, assessment, The Study Experience Questionnaire
