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

Motivation of students of the selected grammar school for truancy
Slámová, Magdaléna ; Machovcová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Richterová, Magdalena (referee)
My work focuses on students' motives for truancy, which Salavcová (2017) explains as the unexcused absence of a primary or secondary school student from class. Kyriacou (2004) considers this phenomenon as crucial due to the possibility of indicating the proper functioning of the educational system. At the core of the theoretical part are the causes of this pathological phenomenon, which Thambirajah a col. (2008) categorizes into several categories such as those on the side of the student, on the side of the family, on the side of the peers, on the side of the school and cases where the student is in a difficult life situation. Čapek (2014) sees the most common causes in fear of written tests, disinterest in school, bullying. I used this breakdown of causes in the subsequent practical part, which was conducted as qualitative research in the form of a semi-structured interview with seven students from a selected high school, an educational counsellor and a prevention methodologist. In the analysis of the interviews, I focused mainly on the probands' motivation for truancy and the factors that ended their truancy. The study resulted in an extended model of the causes of truancy that almost matched the most common factors mentioned by Čapek (2014), except for the factor of bullying. In my case, these were...

Risk Behaviour from the Staffs´ Perspective of the Authority Children´s Protection.
ŠESTÁKOVÁ, Markéta
The bachelor thesis deals with the high - risk behaviour from the staffs´ perspective of the authority children´s protection. The goal of my bachelor thesis was to find out the typical forms of risky behaviour which the officials of the authority of children´s social care law most often encounter and whether the personnel authority of children´s social care law perceive eating disorders as a risky behaviour. In connection with these objectives, I have set the following hypotheses as follows: The officials of the authority of children´s social care law encounter with all nine types of risky behaviour and eating disorders are perceived by the officials of the authority of children´s social care law as a risky behaviour. For processing the data in the empirical part I have chosen the quantitative research, which proceeded with the use of questionnaire enquiry. The research sample consisted of fourteen social workers, specifically curators for children and youth operating on the authority of children´s social care law in the South Bohemian Region. The results show that the officials of children´s social care law most often encounter truancy of their clients, then bullying, cyber bullying, sexual risky behaviour and substance dependence. The responses show that risky behaviour occurs more often in extracurricular environment. The majority of responders are inclined to think of the primary prevention of risky behaviour in the education system as not sufficient. In connection with the second aim, which is focused on eating disorders, the most of the respondents said they agreed with the inclusion of eating disorders to risk-taking behaviour. For the most common eating disorder they encounter is anorexia nervosa as they marked. In their point of view is not, in the context of prevention at schools, taken sufficient account of the issue of eating disorders and the risks associated with them. Among their clients who got ill from eating disorder, most often cooperate with their families or refer to appropriate professional help. Based on these results, it should be noted that the first hypothesis with the results diverges, whereas the second hypothesis is with them in correspond. The research results could serve as an information material for the officials of the authority of children´s social care law. Furthermore, it is possible to embrace the basis for the educators working with at-risk group of pupils. They can also be beneficial for the improvement of cooperation between the school and the official of the social services or between educators in the creation of the minimum preventive programme.
