Live typeface
Jiříček, Milan ; Špiřík, Jan (referee) ; Rajmic, Pavel (advisor)
The work describes the theoretical foundations of modern methods of creating new fonts, that is, using information technology, specifically vector programs. It also marginally shows the history of the font, Roman writing, the basic division of its compositions and describes its individual elements. The next part of the project focuses on creating digital fonts and continues with bringing it to live using algorithms and methods that can easily be processed in Matlab programming language. The method of implementation of the bringing the typeface to live is described and presentation of the generated results are then shown in few examples. Attention is also paid to the coordinates system, which is very important to solve geometric transformations, and two-dimensional vector graphics, which are widely used in the design and to render the fonts. Bézier curves and cubic Bézier curves are described in further detail along with vector graphics rasterization. One part of this text describes very important de Casteljau algorithm. The last chapter focuses on implementation in Matlab programming language, the creation of curves, that means single font characters, and the ways of how the algorithm works with transformations. Some sample images showing transformations using different input arguments are displayed in this section as well. There is evaluation of the contribution of this application and the possibilities of further expansion at the end.

The development of graphic expression by primary school children
VILINGEROVÁ, Isabela
Present work deals with the graphomotoric development of children in grammar school age. The theoretical part characterizes this developmental period in terms of developmental psychology. Especially, describing the cognitive essential components for graphic expressions, namely thinking, intelligence, perception, attention, memory, imagination, language skills and creativity. Moreover there is the outline of ontogenetic development of writing and drawing in the ontogenetic phase. The practical part describes the scientific activity in which they are compared to short texts and figure drawings from pupils in the 1st and 5th grade of grammar school. There has been created criteria dealing with the evaluation of fonts and artwork. The basic of these criteria could be observed in changes occurring from 1st to 5th grammar school grade. Graphic expression of individual pupils is analyzed verbally.

Graphomotorical readiness of children entering elementary school from the perspective of kindergarten and primary school teachers
KYSILKOVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor work focuses on the graphomotoric readiness of children upon their admission to an elementary school. Its first part covers a theoretical knowledge on child development from the motoric, graphic, and graphomotoric aspect. Then it describes initial writing as well as current curricula for pre-school and elementary education in writing. The second practical part is devoted to educational research on perception of readiness of preschool children in terms of the development of their graphomotoric skills. The issue is examined foremostly by questionnaire method involving teachers of kindergartens and first classes of elementary schools. Other research methods as well as the analysis of data and their assessment are described.

How to write a literary story
BEZOUŠKA, Ondřej
This work deals with the methodology of the creation of a literary story. Its aim is to provide the reader with advices from literary active writers, who were somehow engaged in this issue in the past. This work is divided into four parts. The first part is concerned with inborn and gained dispositions which the author should have. The second part introduces the story and its planning to the reader. The third part is about the process of creation a separate story. And the last one the fourth part deals with the process of correction.

Testing of pupils in German language at basic school
KOSOBUD, Ondřej
The main aim of this diploma thesis is to find out, if the level of knowledge of German language at pupils at basic schools in the Czech Republic is increasing, stagnating or decreasing and what factors influence their results. In the theoretic part I am going to deal with testing of pupils in Europe and in the Czech Republic. After that there is introduced a list of all standard assessment tests of German language on level A1 and A2. Then there are compared standard assessment tests ?Fit in Deutsch? and ?Start Deutsch? with the tests of Czech School Inspection from 2012/2013. In the research part I focus on the development of pupils? knowledge of German language at basic schools. The research is based on the assigned tests from 2007, 2010 and 2013. On the basis of these tests and filled questionnaires I am trying to find answers on the set research questions and to check correctness of the set hypotheses or alternatively to find other factors that influence pupils? knowledge of German language.

Machine Work. On the Technology of Writing before 1914
Piorecká, Kateřina
The typewriter was a novelty in the Czech milieu at the beginning of the 1890s, which is evidenced by both the popularisation articles in dailies and professional journals and the first satires. Despite the parallel existence of multiple competing systems, the typewriter gradually found its application in administration (including the administration of publishing houses and periodicals), but very slowly in the creative sphere. A handwritten manuscript was considered to be an expression of the personality of its author and was highly valued in particular in connection with literary production. Generations of symbolists and decadents therefore placed emphasis on calligraphic writing. A writer initially selected a typewriter for very pragmatic reasons: joint diseases etc.); 2) the legibility of the resulting text (as a consequence of changes in typesetting technology and its multiple acceleration, the requirements on the handwritten text became much stricter); 3) the anonymity of the text (unlike the handwriting, the typescript does not point directly to its author). However, a typewriter found favourers among writers, it was used by Josef Kalousek or Eliška Krásnohorská, Václav Tille or Karel Matěj Čapek Chod.

Error rate in writing at children with dysorthographia
STAŇKOVÁ, Marie
The thesis is focused on studies of dysorthographia, one of the specific learning difficulties. The theoretical part deals with specific learning difficulties in general, characterizes the concrete term of dysorthographia in view of its types, causes and symptoms, mentions some diagnostic methods in use and some corrective techniques. This part also indicates the impact of the introduced difficulties on various schoolwork areas as well as on the everyday life. The research part follows some types of errors together with error rate in writing at children with dysorthographia and at children without this diagnosis.

National languages into territorially Czech sepulchral inscriptions
Roháček, Jiří
Analysis of the penetration of national languages into territorially Czech medieval and modern sepulchral inscriptions. The surprise is particularly small share of the German language between the Latin inscriptions and Czech inscriptions and their relatively late arrival in the ethnically German areas. Special features can be found in the inscription form and preferences of the script. Other languages are found only marginally.

Writing letters in alternative methods
HAVRÁNKOVÁ, Veronika
The dissertation deals with a progressive method of primordial writing - improvement of teaching writing in the first year at primary school. We suggest an alternative teaching method of writing, which should assure the fastest and the most effective progress in pupils´ scribal skills. The suggested procedure of improvement in teaching method of writing in an elementary class is grounded, in the theoretical and application field, on the knowledge laid out by J.P. Galperin in the ``theory of formation of intellectual operations{\crqq} and further elaborated by docent PhDr. J.Šemberova , CSc. The thesis is divided into two sections. The difference between the classical method of writing and the suggested progressive method is outlined in the theoretical part of the thesis. Its second section is practical. It is possible to find here a draft of the worksheets for teaching of primordial writing.
