Complexity of social identity in relation to self-efficacy: analysis of hierarchy significance within a corporate environment
Křížová, Lucie ; Heider, David (advisor) ; Machovcová, Kateřina (referee)
In this paper, we examine the complexity of social identity in the corporate environment and its impact on individuals' perceived self-efficacy. We explore this relationship within the framework of a corporate hierarchy consisting of two identified groups: the BO group (non-technical and support experts) and the FO group (technical and business experts). The perceived prestige of these groups corresponds to a division between the high-status FO group and the low-status BO group. In the theoretical section, we discuss the definition of basic concepts to better contextualize them within the present issue. These concepts include social identity theory, self- categorization theory, the definition of in-group and out-group, and the status of groups. The aim of this endeavor was to investigate the relationship between the degree of identification with the in-group and perceived self-efficacy, how the relationship between identification with the firm as a whole and perceived self-efficacy manifests in the context of low-status/high-status groups, and the relationship between an individual's identification with the in-group and their identification with the whole group. To achieve this, we conducted a questionnaire survey in a specific firm (N=64), using methods that track subjective self-perception in an...

The effect of Singapore mathematics on the mathematical self-efficacy of elementary school pupils
Šulcová, Pavla ; Jančařík, Antonín (advisor) ; Jirotková, Darina (referee)
This diploma thesis partly follows from the research of Smetáčková and Vozková who developed a Czech mathematical self-efficacy questionnaire. It examines the student's mathematical self-efficacy, i.e. the student's belief about his ability to successfully work on solving mathematical problems, depending on gender, year and the type of word problems used. It is also dedicated to teaching, describing solutions and student strategies for solving word problems in the form of two types of Singaporean problems - What number makes sense and What question can you answer. It describes the mathematics teaching in Singapore, which is repeatedly placed in the top ranks in international testing. 53 pupils in the 4th and 5th year of elementary school participated in the research lasting 5 weeks. The students filled out a mathematical self-efficacy questionnaire at the beginning and end of the research. During the research, the 4th graders were presented with 8 Singapore- type problems What question can you answer, and the 5th graders were presented with 10 traditional-type or Singapore-type problems What number makes sense. Hypotheses were tested with a two-sample F-test. No difference in mathematical self- efficacy was demonstrated for boys and girls. The 4th -grade students rated as more mathematically...

An Investigation of the Effect of Flipped Learning Classroom on Students' Self-efficacy and Academic Achievement in Virtual Learning Context and their Perceptions of the Flipped Learning Classroom: A Case Study of Primary School Students
Norouzi Larsari, Vahid ; Wildová, Radka (advisor) ; Chudý, Štefan (referee) ; Nimehchisalem, Vahid (referee)
The educational landscape has undergone tremendous change as a result of the quick development of technology, with virtual learning emerging as a prominent teaching method. In this regard, the flipped learning classroom model has recently been used as a cutting-edge method in which actual classroom activities are reversed in a logical order in comparison to tasks in traditional classrooms, frequently appearing to be integrated with teaching materials in the form of videos or PowerPoint presentations, or is supplemented. Through two distinct methodologies (flipped instruction and face-to-face teaching), the current study aims to clarify the impacts of flipped learning classroom (FC) instruction on sixth grade students' self-efficacy and academic achievement. In addition, the study uses qualitative insights to examine the perceptions of sixth grade students regarding the flipped learning experience and the Shad application as a social platform in the Iranian primary school context. To conduct this study, a mixed-methods research approach was adopted. From a pool of 120 male sixth-grade elementary students aged 12-13, 100 sixth grade students were chosen based on their scores in the Quick Oxford Placement Test, which equally divided into control and experimental groups. The control group experienced...

Specific difficulties of adults with dyslexia
Táborová, Zuzana ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Mertin, Václav (referee)
This thesis deals with the difficulties of adults with dyslexia. Not enough attention is being paid to this issue in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of this thesis characterizes dyslexia and summarizes possible difficulties of adults with dyslexia on the basis of both Czech and foreign information sources. The empirical part of this thesis describes the research, whose main goal is to chart (especially cognitive) difficulties, which are related to common everyday activities. Another area monitored in this thesis is self-efficacy of adults with dyslexia in their everyday life. Data are compared with intact counterparts. The research group consists of 120 respondents, including 60 adults with dyslexia and 60 adults without dyslexia (66 women and 54 men). The intact counterparts were matched with adults with dyslexia based on the same gender, year of birth and highest education received. The whole set of used methods concluded the anamnestic part and three self-evaluation questionnaires - the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire, the Dyslexic difficulties questionnaire (created for the purpose of this thesis) and the General Self-Efficacy scale. The results confirmed higher difficulties of adults with dyslexia. The self-efficacy does not differ, however, it correlates more with difficulties in...

Digital Literacy Among Teachers of Learners with Disabilities in Czech Republic and Kenya
Mwongela Kavua, Martin ; Šiška, Jan (advisor) ; Pančocha, Karel (referee) ; Tichá, Renáta (referee)
The study focused on establishing how teachers use their digital literacy skills to facilitate learning in Kenya and the Czech Republic. This was achieved by focusing on four objectives: to identify how teachers apply digital literacy skills to facilitate learning; to establish self- efficacy in digital literacy among primary school teachers of learners with disabilities in Kenya and the Czech Republic; to investigate the challenges to the application of digital competencies in class by teachers of learners with disabilities in special primary schools; and to explore how teachers of learners with disabilities overcome the challenges faced in the application of digital competencies. The study was guided by the Self-efficacy element of Albert Bandura's Socio- Cognitive Theory. A descriptive research design was used for the study. The target population for the study was teachers of learners with disabilities in primary schools in Kenya and the Czech Republic. Probabilistic sampling was applied in the study. A semi-structured questionnaire and observation checklist were used to collect data from 456 teachers: 329 from Kenya and 127 from the Czech Republic. A mixed-method approach was used in the analysis, where statistical methods including descriptive, independent sample and chi-square tests were...

Relationship between "self-efficacy" and stress coping during challenge activity
Laudová, Veronika ; Psohlavec, Lukáš (advisor) ; Bačáková, Radka (referee)
Title: The relationship of "self-efficacy" and experiencing state anxiety in challenging activity. Goals: The aim of this work was to find a relationship between self-efficacy and state anxiety in challenging activity in overcome a high obstacle. Methods: Thirty-three undergraduate students at FTVS UK, who completed a challenging activity in the form of a height obstacle. At the beginning of the course, each person completed the NGSE questionnaire. State anxiety was assessed by using the CSAI-2 questionnaire, which participants completed twice. Once on the ground, before the activity, the second time at a height just before overcoming an obstacle. Results: A moderately strong relationship (p = 0,05) was demonstrated between self-efficacy and the cognitive dimension of anxiety r = -0,421 (p = 0,05) in height and between self-efficacy and the dimension of self-confidence r = 0,450 (p = 0,01 ), also in height. The female sample showed a relationship between self-efficacy and the cognitive dimension of anxiety r = -0,523 (p = 0,05) in height and between self-efficacy and the dimension of self-confidence r = 0,572 (p = 0,01), also in height. The male sample did not show any marked statistical significance between self-efficacy and anxiety dimensions. Conclusion: The relationship between self-efficacy...

Translation and pilot validation of three healthcare questionnaires
Pecka, Václav ; Kavka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Jevič, Filip (referee)
Self-reported questionnaires are method of choice for evaluation of relevant domains in low back pain population. Multiple questionnaires exist measuring significant number of potentially meaningful domains. The decision which ones to use should be based on an analysis of clinimetric properties reported in literature. An effort should also be made to translate existing outcome measures to Czech language. This thesis consists of research on methods and parameters designed to evaluate quality and usefulness of measuring methods and example of analysis of clinimetric properties is provided. The experimental section is devoted to reporting the translation process and field testing of three healthcare questionnaires concerning disability (the Patient Specific Functional Scale), self-efficacy (the Pain Self-efficacy Questionnaire) and global perceived effect (the Global Perceived Effect Scale). The questionnaires are comprehensible and ready to be used in clinical practice. There still needs to be a cross-cultural equivalence study performed for them to be eligible for research purposes and international collaboration. In the preliminary analysis, the scores also showed behavior corresponding to the properties reported in the literature.
