The Rural Teacher Jaroslav Petr and His Legacy to Contemporary Education
Martincová, Petra ; Váňová, Růžena (advisor) ; Kasper, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis seeks to introduce and systematize the work of a long-time forgotten rural teacher Jaroslav Petr (1862-1922). Today basically unknown, he once was an important figure in the pedagogic circles. Although isolated, misunderstood and boycotted by conservative colleagues as well as by then highly influential Catholic authorities, he strived for emancipation of Czech schools within the Habsburg monarchy and especially for modernization of elementary education (refusing herbartianism, promoting hands-on teaching, free school, child-centered approach and other modern concepts). Naturally, he mainly addressed rural-specific challenges. As one of the first Czech education workers he realized the important impact of environment on the development of a (child's) personality, developed so called pedagogic regionalism and accordingly is an author of an innovative model textbook called Elementary teaching for rural schools (Prvouka na škole venkovské) which is based on its principles. At the same time, Petr was alarmed by the low quality of literature written for children or chosen for children to read, and strived for improving it - he wrote numerous literary reviews, essays on how children literature should look like, proposed reading lists, edited several children's readers with special emphasis on folk...

Classic and authorial fairy tale in kindergarten
TIŠEROVÁ, Jana
Aim: My thesis shall reveal which form of fairy-tales is the favourite one for preschool children. My effort is to find out which styles of fairy tales children return to. Solution: I applied qualitative method of interviewing children about the read fairy-tale for my survey. Continually, I used the method of participant observation while monitoring the interest in artwork contained in books. Subsequently, children selected the favourite books. The method of participant observation was applied again in this part. Results: Through the realized survey, I found that a classic fairy-tale is an unsubstitutable element in children development. However, it must be presented in such a language form which is comprehensible for children. Illustrations accompanying the story are very useful. Author's fairy-tale affects children very significantly so it is necessary to choose topics of appropriate quality. Both types of fairy-tales are indispensable factors for proper development of intellectual, emotional and ethical part of child's character and they are interesting and stimulating for children. Benefits of the thesis: The results of the thesis allow organizing and realizing activities in nurseries in a way that is suitable and valuable for children. It shows the way how to handle the fairy-tale genre within education for preschool children.
