Balík, Tadeáš ; Vojíř, Karel (advisor) ; Pavlasová, Lenka (referee)
ABSTRACK We consider argumentation skills to be a necessary attribute of effective communication in the present day for full application in both personal and social life. For this reason, these abilities are purposefully incorporated into education at primary and upper primary schools in the form of a key communicative competence. Pupils' argumentation skills can be developed through targeted teaching activities on appropriately chosen topics that encourage discussion. The purpose of this work was to map the skills of formulating one's own arguments in the topic of tick-borne diseases and the possibilities of their prevention among pupils in upper primary school. For this purpose, a complex task was constructed and presented to 369 pupils. Pupils' formulated arguments were evaluated according to their frequency, effectiveness and factual correctness. The pupils' argumentation skills were shown to be at a low level. It was found that the pupils' arguments were influenced by the grade and their personal attitude towards the topic under consideration. For the effective cultivation of this skill, we consider it desirable to pay systematic attention to it in primary and upper primary education through targeted activities.

THE LEVEL OF AWARENESS AND ATTITUDES OF ČESKÉ BUDĚJOVICE FAMILIES TOWARDS QUESTIONS OF TICK-BORNE DISEASES
LANGEROVÁ, Dagmar
Bachelor´s work deals with the questions of 2 most frequent tick - borne diseases in the Central Europe - Tick Borne Encephalitis and Lyme Disease. The purpose of my work is to survey the awareness of České Budějovice families about these diseases and possibilities of their prevention. For the primary data collection the technique of questionnaire has been chosen. As the target group pupils of higher classes of basic schools and their parents have been chosen. From 110 distributed sets of questionnaires only 63 have been processed. After the evaluation of these questionnaires, both my hypotheses have been disproved. The awareness of parents was better than the awareness of pupils, but the difference was very small. České Budějovice families know that the risk of Tick Borne Encephalitis in the region of South Bohemia is higher than in other regions in our country. The level of awareness of České Budějovice families about questions of tick {--} borne diseases is quite good.
