Norková, Šárka ; Kubíčková, Anna (advisor) ; Štrinclová, Marta (referee)
The bachelor thesis Strategies oriented to support positive behavior at lower secondary school aims to present strategies that these schools use to prevent problem behavior. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the psychosocial development of an individual in the period of early adolescence, the concepts of problem behavior, class climate and the PBIS system. The research sample was created by eight respondents who teach at lower secondary school. Four respondents started implementing some elements of the PBIS system in year 2020/2021. Data for the research were collected by interviews in spring 2021 using Microsoft Teams. In our research we focused on preventive precaution and rulemaking. We found that the most common forms of preventive precaution are training course, classroom hours and correctly set rules. We found that rules have an important place in preventing problem behaviors and that all schools used strategies to support positive behavior. The research helped us to fulfil the goal. KEYWORDS problematic behavior, Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, preventive precaution, adolescence

Lukasová, Sandra ; Felcmanová, Lenka (advisor) ; Kubíčková, Anna (referee)
Diploma thesis deals with the current methods of implementation of primary prevention of primary schools in the Czech Republic. The aim was to determine the degree of preparedness of primary schools for the implementation of a world-wide research-proven program of positive support for students behavior in the school environment (PBIS) in order to prevent risky behavior of students in schools. The first part of the thesis is devoted to theoretical knowledge about students with risky behavior, preventive and interventional procedures of primary prevention applied in schools and a thorough description of the PBIS method. We used a qualitative method of semi-structured interviews for the research survey. The evaluation took place on the basis of interviews with pedagogical staff at four primary schools. The analysis was performed using open coding. Questions were asked about the use of preventive measures by primary schools and the answers provided an insight into which elements used correspond to the PBIS method. The results of the research show similarities in the use of preventive elements in the field of physical environment of the class and in the positive formulation of the rules of conduct. On the contrary, visualizations of routine procedures and school-wide expectations in school premises are...
