Cognitive development support of adolescents in the family and school environment
Šíchová, Andrea ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Rázgová, Lenka (referee)
The thesis introduces a theme of cognitive development support of adolescents in the school and family environment. The first part defines the age group of adolescents which is described with particular emphasis on cognitive abilities. The following section explains the basic prerequisite for the development of cognitive abilities, about the theory of structural cognitive modifiability. The second part describes selected methods of cognitive development promotion. It includes approaches used by general population of adolescents, i.e. Philosophy for children and Building learning power. Furthermore, Feuerstein Instrumental enrichment program and the model of conceptual learning are discussed in the chapter devoted to methods used with individuals with cognitive deficits. The work also discusses a possible use of ICT as a tool for cognitive development. This section presents the application Tablexia, training of cognitive abilities designed for adolescents with dyslexia. The practical part of the work suggests a research design, which would verify the effectiveness of Tablexia in promoting cognitive development of adolescents with dyslexia. Keywords: Adolescence, cognitive modifiability, methods of cognitive development, ICT in education, Tablexia

The ACFS assessment approach and its use in different cultures
Šetková, Lucie ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Rázgová, Lenka (referee)
This thesis deals with the assessment approach called the Application of Cognitive Functions Scale (ACFS) and the possibilities of its use in the Czech Republic and in other cultures. The theoretical part first briefly introduces the principles of dynamic testing, and then focuses on the ACFS assessment approach, the examination process and the subscales on which the child is evaluated. The thesis further analyses the possibilities of using ACFS for both diagnostic and research purposes. Last but not least, it will provide insight into several surveys from diverse cultural backgrounds made using ACFS. The thesis also includes a research proposal, which aims to verify the validity of ACFS as a tool for diagnosing school maturity.

Mediated Learning experience and its application in school education
Rázgová, Lenka ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Gillernová, Ilona (referee) ; Krejčová, Kristýna (referee)
The dissertation thesis presents the results of a research project which focused on the application of mediated learning experience theory to teaching with respect to cognitive development of pupils. The first chapter introduces cognitive education, which concentrates on the process of learning. It also compares this approach with traditional methods aimed at the content of learning. The following parts of the thesis deal with selected theories postulated by Reuven Feuerstein which are important for understanding the context in which his other theory was developed: the theory of mediated learning experience. This theory is the central theme of the theoretical part of the thesis. Apart from its definition and parameters, the thesis presents specific recommendations for teachers about how to develop cognitive functions of their pupils by applying this theory directly in class. Afterwards, attention is paid to Feuerstein's well-known worldwide intervention program called The Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment. This program is used in the Czech school system, too. The essential part of this chapter introduces a number of studies which focused on the verification of benefits of Feuerstein's approaches to cognitive development in children and adolescents. The last chapter of the theoretical part...
