MRHOVÁ, Adéla
The diploma thesis entitled "The issue of hygienic habits of left-handed pupils at the first grade of primary school" is concerned with exploring the contemporary stage of adherence to the habits related to writing. The work is divided into a theoretical and research part. The theoretical part deals with terms related to the topic of the work. The research part analyses hygienic and work habits of left-handed pupils in the first, second, and third grade of primary school.

Initial writing of left-handed pupils
Hečová, Lenka ; Ronková, Jolana (advisor) ; Wildová, Radka (referee)
The thesis deals with lateralityand focuses mainly on left-handedness. The thesis is dividedintoa theoretical part,whichaims to introduce the reader to the concept of laterality and its types, degrees and kinds, then it focuses on left-handedness in the past and present, teaching of initial writing and related hygiene habits, assessment of writing, left-handed writing, writing methodology, bound and unbound writing, stages of teaching writing and aids for left-handedpupils. The aim of the empirical part is to confirm or refute the stated hypotheses by means of questionnaire survey and observation, namely, that the laterality of the teacher has an effect on the teacher's preparation and teaching of initial writing, and that the laterality of the teacher has an effect on the qualityof left-handedpupils' writing,and that the qualityof left-handedpupils' writing when taught by a left-handedteacher is higher than when taught by a right-handed teacher, and to answer the research question of whether teacher laterality has an effect on the development of a teacher's preparations for initial writing, on the teaching of initial writing, and on the quality of pupils' writing. The results of the questionnaire survey and observation confirm all the hypotheses and show that the teacher's laterality affects the...

Bound and unbound writing on the first grade of elementary school and the pedagogical faculties of universities: Teacher's opinion on the both scripts from the perspective of an experienced practitioner
Romanová, Anna ; Wildová, Radka (advisor) ; Ronková, Jolana (referee)
Bound and unbound writing on the first grade of elementary school and the pedagogical faculties of universities: Teacher's opinion on the both scripts from the perspective of an experienced practitioner The work follows up bound and unbound writing and their percentage representation in the 1st grade of primary schools. It also focuses on the opinions of teachers from practice and their experience during their own studies at pedagogical faculties of universities. In the theoretical part, I define the basic terms. I examine the goals of preparation for teaching writing and the teaching of writing itself and which precedes it, with what a child should bring from attending kindergarten. I present some methods of teaching writing in history and the present, their origin and development of the writing, the creation of bound and unbound writing, the development of the alternative Comenia Script and several others, the characters of the writing and its evaluation. One of the chapters is also devoted to left-handed writing. In the practical part, using a questionnaire, I find out the opinion of primary school teachers and their practical experience. I also find out what reading and writing methodology they graduate through during their studies at the faculties of education, which script they teach the...

The theoretical part deals with laterality, methods of diagnostic and methodology of work with left-handed pupil at the beginning of the school attendance. The aim of research in the practical part of the thesis was to find information about working with left-handed pupils between the students of primary teaching and teachers in practise. The appendixes of this thesis include the questionnaires used for the practical part of the thesis and worksheets for pupils to relax their hand while writing.

Upbringing and Education of Left-handed Children
Čivrná, Simona ; Wildová, Radka (advisor) ; Rychlíková, Marie (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the important knowledge related to education and bringing up left-handed children. The theoretical part focuses on the explanation of the term laterality and its diagnostics and also on the methodology of left-handed writing and the preparatory exercises for writing. Furthermore this part points to some various causes and effects suppression of left- handedness, and a brief insight into a former approach and an actual approach. This part offers information to the new trend in writing - Czech school font called Comenia Script. The practical part concentrates on the development of writing for left-handed in the commonly used writing alphabet, and in the font Comenia Script. There is also included a tentative questionnaire for primary school teachers and an observation and teaching of left- handed pupils in four different grades at primary schools. Keywords: laterality, left-handedness, upbringing, education, the commonly used writing alphabet, the font Comenia Script

Evolutionary aspects of (epi)genetic determination of laterality with a special focus on upper limb
Holoubková, Tereza ; Daňková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Struška, Michal (referee)
Handedness is one of the most distinct asymmetries of the human body. There is approximately 90 % of right-handers in the population, which is the strongest bias in handedness among all primates. Handedness is connected with lateralization of brain for language and is determined both genetically and by the environment. Genetic determination of the handedness has not been yet figured out, although there are many candidate genes and regions. In addition to candidate genes, the genetic determination is shaped by the epigenetic mechanisms and the role of testosterone. Handedness occurred alongside the beginning of the human population development, approximately in the Middle Pleistocene, with the same percentage of left-handers as today. Handedness polymorphism is maintained in the population based on the frequency-dependent model because of the advantages and disadvantages associated with left-handedness.

Special needs of left-handers in school club
Navrátilová, Martina ; Valentová, Hana (advisor) ; Blažková, Veronika (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with left-handedness (sinistrality) in the environment of after-school clubs. The theoretical part defines sinistrality with respect to attitude to it in history, describes the types and forms of sinistrality and deals with the options how to recognize it, describes the possibilities of modern approach and support of left-handed children. It also defines the environment, functions and contents of activities in after- school clubs and describes possible support of left-handed children in after-school clubs. The goal of the practical research is to map the attitude of educators to left-handed children, to find out what kind of tools are used in the activities in clubs, to describe quality of equipment and facilities in the classrooms and also to find out what parents expect from the educators. It also looks into particular options how to support left-handed children in arts, music and physical activities in after-school clubs as well as in doing their homework and using IT devices. The hypotheses that lead the research involve parents and educators of left-handed children, whether they are aware of complications connected with sinistrality, whether the children are adequately supported, whether the communication between after-school clubs and parents works in favour of the...
