The relationship between over-claiming and truancy: Using the over-claiming technique on PISA 2012 data
Mayerová, Kateřina ; Voňková, Hana (advisor) ; Papajoanu, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis addresses the issue of the association between the over-claiming technique (OCT) and truancy based on data collected in the PISA 2012 student questionnaire. First, it summarises the theoretical background on the PISA survey, over-claiming of self-reported knowledge and related research to date, and truancy. In general, the paper aims to investigate whether there is a relationship between over-claiming of knowledge and truancy and whether there are differences in this relationship across the countries and economics involved in the 2012 PISA survey. The relationships between truancy and over-claiming of knowledge turned out to be statistically significant, although the correlation values are low. The highest values can be observed between at least some familiarity with non-existing concepts and truancy variables, between at least some familiarity with existing concepts and truancy variables, and between accuracy index and truancy variables. These relationships are most pronounced in South Korea, Macau, Taipei, Australia, New Zealand, Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Slovakia, Spain, Ireland, Iceland and the UK. KEYWORDS The overclaiming technique, truancy, late arrivals to school, PISA, cross-country comparison

Changes in leisure activities of older school-age children and adolescents in the context of the restrictions announced by the Government of the Czech Republic during the COVID-19 pandemic ABSTRACT The thesis focuses on the changes in the leisure time of children and adolescents due to the restriction of personal freedom of individuals related to the state of emergency declared by the government of the Czech Republic. This state of emergency was declared by the government of the Czech Republic in order to protect public health in the context of the SARS CoV-2 (COVID - 19) pandemic. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a research part, where the theoretical part explains the concepts related to the topic and the research part explains the interrelationships between the selected variables based on a questionnaire survey and follow-up interviews. The research found that the impact of the SARS CoV-2 pandemic is not the only factor influencing the changes in the respondents' leisure time, especially since the period under study covers almost three years of the respondent's life, and therefore there are normal developmental changes. KEYWORDS leisure, organised leisure, unorganised leisure, older school-age child, adolescents, emergency, leisure function, leisure activities
