Verbal reports and protocol analysis
Heller, Daniel
The author deals with problems of verbal reports in psychological research. Today, the concurrent and retrospective verbal reports are considered to be the main source of data about cognitive processes of subject. They became the standard research method also in many fields of applied psychology. Thinking aloud is distinguished from verbal explanation of particular steps of problem solving. Effects of verbalization, problem of completeness of verbal reports, inferences from verbal data, Ericsson's and Simon's model of verbalization, methods and techniques of protocol analysis are dealt with. Verbal reports are rich source of data that can be combined effectively with other data and can be of great value for acquiring knowledge about more than cognitive processes and structures. Practical recommendations for gaining different types of verbal reports under standard conditions are presented that can be analysed by the means of protocol analysis.

Tutr, Radim ; Hřebík, Josef (advisor) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
The topic of this work is expressed by its title: The View of the Authorship of the Pentateuch in the Course of History. Our aim is not to resolve the complicated question about the authorship of the first five books of the Holy Bible, but to walk through the history from the text of Pentateuch itself up to our times and to observe the changes in the view of the authorship of Pentateuch. We try to observe not only views of the authorship, but also their philosophical and theological background. The work is divided into the chapters according to the main periods of the development of various opinions about the authorship of "The Low of Moses". The first period is described in the chapter with the name "Mentions in the Bible", in the next chapter "The Pre-critical Period" we speak about opinions in patristic and mediaeval times, the chapter "The Historical-critical View" refers about various theories of the last two centuries, especially about the source-hypothesis and finally the chapter "The Reactions on the Historical-critical Concept" speaks about the theories, which calculate more also with the voice of tradition.

Importance of education and prevention of child injury in contact with dog
CHLOPČÍKOVÁ, Marie
The dissertation entitled: "Importance of education and prevention of child injury in contact with dog" was written with the purpose to point out not only the current status of children's knowledge and experience in contact with the favourite pet - dog, but primarily to provide a new educational-preventive concept that should help to reduce the risk of incidence of negative experience (injuries, attacks) with dogs in child population. The goal of the dissertation was to improve the children's knowledge on responsible and safe approach to dogs. The theoretical part of the dissertation points out the comprehensive significance of the child-dog relation. The individual sections describe the essential influence of the dog on the mental, emotional and social development of the child, with emphasis on understanding the differences of human-animal communication and the related risks. At the same time, the dissertation outlines also the issue of injuries and conflict situations caused to the child by the dog due to lack of knowledge of basic rules of safe approach to the animal. Last but not least, it emphasizes the significance of primary prevention in the relevant issue. The results of the empirical part of the dissertation pointed out the most frequent causes and mechanisms (basic risk factors in child behaviour) of origination of conflict situation between children and dogs. Based on the alarming results of the first research stage, a new interactive educational-preventive program was created, based on zootherapy - canistherapy method, AAE (Animal Assisted Education) technique, cooperative teaching and situational learning. To assess the efficiency of the preventive activity, a feedback quantitative study was created; it showed improved knowledge on safe approach to dogs in elementary school pupils after having passed the preventive program. The success of the practical form of the preventive program in educational facilities was supported also by creation of educational material - workbook for children. The aid can be used not only as teaching material but particularly as a source of visually processed information and principles for conflict-free child-dog coexistence. The dissertation constitutes a serviceable material not only for lay public at educational level, but also for professional public from the perspective of use of canistherapy and prevention of child injuries.

Relevance of Lonergan's theory of understanding for the method in theology
Regner, Jan ; Pelc, Bogdan (advisor) ; Pospíšil, Ctirad Václav (referee)
The aim of the paper called "Relevance of the Lonergan's Theory of Understanding for the Method in Theology" is to present the contribution of the Lonergan's original epistemological studies for a method, not only in theology. In the base of the paper, there are a question how much is important or even necessary for theology to consider its own methodology in the context of interdisciplinary dialog between philosophy, theology and natural sciences. Lonergan's Transcendental Method is based on his epistemological understanding, especially his so called "Cognitive Structure". He describes our cognitive operations and classifies them in several levels. First three are empirical, intellectual and rational. According Lonergan, from the last level we normally move to ethical campus. Then he realizes that in human lives there are phenomena which we could call intellectual, moral or religious conversions. These are fundamental for the Transcendental Method. Lonergan then defines eight steps of the Method: research, interpretation, history, dialectic, foundations, doctrines, systematics and communications. Some critics object that Lonergan's methodological investigations are too general to be a theological method. Nevertheless, we have to recognize his inspiring attempt to find an adequate way to do...

Ivan Slavík - essayist and journalist
Bláhová, Jitka ; Kořená, Markéta (referee) ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor)
Jméno Ivana Slavíka jev širším čtenářském okruhu téměř neznámé. Pokud tu existuje představa o jeho díle, týká se Slavíkovy katolicky orientované poezie. Pravděpodobně je to dáno tím, že ve středoškolských porevolučních učebnicích literatury se jeho jméno objevuje pouze zřídka (v období totality jeho dílo v učebnicích reflektováno nebylo). Jeho esejistická a publicistická činnost je takřka neznámá; domnívám se, že hlavním důvodem je charakter periodik a sborníků, do nichž Slavík přispíval: většinou se jednalo o okrajové a regionální noviny (spolupráce s významnějšími periodiky, stoj ícími v centru kulturního a společenského dění, mu byla totalitním režimem znemožněna) . Cílem mé diplomové práce je zmapování Slavíkova původního ne-básnického díla: chronologické uspořádání jeho předmluv, doslovů a publicistických statí nejrůznějších žánrů a zaměření. Dílčí kapitoly práce jsou sondami do jednotlivých desetiletí, v nichž Slavík svou ne -básnickou činnost rozvíj el, počínaj e 4 O . léty. Léta 60. a 70. jsou zaměřením Slavíkovy tvorby úzce propojena; z důvodu zachování maximální soudržnosti tématu tvoří společnou kapitolu. Zároveň jsem se ve své práci pokusila sledovat a zaznamenat tendence a tematické okruhy, kterými se autor zabývá a které jsou typické pro dané období jeho tvorby. Ze společenskopolitických...
