The poet’s window into time. Boredom as a suppressed agent of the artistic maturation of Jaroslav Vrchlický
Hrdina, Martin
The work focuses on the circumstances of the time that poet and translator Jaroslav Vrchlický spent in Italy in the summer of 1875. Based on Vrchlický’s journal entries, correspondence and literary works of the time (especially unpublished poems Spleen and Ideal), the author considers the fundamental role of boredom at a time when Vrchlický was coming of age as a person and a creator. He focuses especially on the period during the formulation of the well-known program of the epic, which was the main artistic output of his stay in Italy. With support from Simmel’s interpretation of the work of Arthur Schopenhauer whose pessimistic view of the world Vrchlický rejected, Vrchlický’s epic gesture appears to be a possible method for overcoming melancholy, which he faced as a modern person.

Demotivation among English Language Students and How to Face it
Macasová, Hana ; Vít, Radek (advisor) ; Synková, Klára (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to develop the awareness about the existence of demotivation at English lessons and its possible reasons. Major concepts connected with motivation and demotivation are clarified, along with main demotivating factors at school such as a teacher, student's personality, fear or inadequate use of prize and punishment. The research in the form of a questionnaire realised at a primary and a secondary school was done to describe the degree of demotivation at those schools and to find the reasons for it. It was found out that the degree of demotivation is relatively high, prevalent in boys rather than girls. The main demotivating factors seem to be a teacher, a course book and students' laziness. Also the motivating power of praise was confirmed. It was indicated that demotivation is a serious problem that should be solved and therefore some suggestions how to motivate demotivated pupils are introduced. Key words motivation, demotivation, boredom, fear, teacher, pupils, English language

The bachelorś thesis is focused on experiencing boredom in pupils at the second stage of primary school, specifically the seventh and eight grades. The occurence of boredom and the main student strategies for managing boredom will be mapped, as well as the studentś attitude to these subjects (popularity of the subject, difficulty of the subject, importance of the subject, degree of boredom in the subject). The purpose of the work is to change the connection between the occurrence of boredom in individual subjects and the attitudes of students to these subjects. The theoretical part is divided into several thematic areas. It outlines the picture of the current state of knowledge in the field of boredom and its management and it describes the issue of motivation in teaching with a connection to boredom. Furthermore, there are presented models that are serious in the school environment, where each of the models views boredom differently There are also mentioned possibilities of diagnostics in this area with the use of questionnaire methods in the school environment. The bachelor's thesis also presents in more detail the grasp of coping by the authors Nettová, Goetz, and Danielsová, and a detailed specification of attitudes, and an introduction of Implicit theory of good teaching of the subject Hrabal...

The self-reflection of attentional failure as a predictor of experiencing boredom
Sekáč, Jakub ; Lukavská, Kateřina (advisor) ; Pavelková, Isabella (referee)
This diploma thesis represents a sum of theoretical findings about correlates and antecedents of boredom and an empirical investigation of opened questions about boredom, according to the literature. This was done through a laboratory experiment in which the author of the thesis, in order to investigate the research questions, induced boredom in the research participants. The research aim of this thesis involves three topics. The primary purpose of the experiment is to assess the experimental manipulation effects of causal attribution of attentional failure on the intensity of boredom. In order to investigate the main research questions, the author of this thesis created a specific experimental design. This includes a fictive subliminal distracting element representing an alternative cause explaining attentional failure during a task reliably eliciting boredom. Experimental design was also developed to fulfil a secondary aim of this thesis, to explore some of the correlates of boredom with emphasis on the question of relation between activation and boredom. The third aim is to investigate hypothesis about the type of activities preferred after the boredom induction by giving a choice to participants between interesting and an enjoyable videoclip. The results of the experiment do not support the main...
