Tutoring in Low-threshold Centers for Children and Youth
VÁVROVÁ, Rozálie
This bachelor thesis deals with the tutoring in low-threshold centres for children and youth in the South Bohemia. The aim of the thesis is to find out how workers or volunteers of selected low-threshold centres for children and youth in the South Bohemia rate tutoring, which they provide as a part of their services. The partial aim is to create recommendation for further development of tutoring in low-threshold centre for children and youth based on the results. Qualitative research, method of questioning and technique of semi-structured interview were chosen for the purpose of achieving the aim. The research sample was selected based on deliberate sampling. The criterion for the inclusion of communication partners to the research was at least one year of personal tutoring experience in the low-threshold centre for children and youth. The acquired data were evaluated via open coding and organized into individual categories. The results show that tutoring is an integral part of low-threshold centres for children and youth and there is a great interest in it from its clients. According to communication partners the biggest weaknesses in tutoring are insufficient cooperation with the family of the client, his insufficient motivation for learning, insufficient pedagogical knowledge of tutoring workers and volunteers and last but not least the complicated access of low-threshold centres for children and youth to financial assurance of tutoring, which results in a lack of tutors, time and suitable premises. With these aspects some changes are related, which communication partners would like to make, namely bigger cooperation with the family of the client, or with any other institutions, bigger financial support and also an opportunity to take part in courses focused on working with children and pedagogy.

Urbánková, Veronika ; Viktorová, Ida (advisor) ; Smetáčková, Irena (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the parents' point of view on the individual contacts of the family and the school. The theoretical part presents the history of the relationship development between the family and the school, the functions of socializations and competences of these institutions and the forms of contact between the family and the school with the emphasis on a specific form, so called tutorial system, based on building a confidential, open parent-child relationship and which is intended to enable educational co-operation in the upbringing of a child. The focus of this thesis is on its empirical part, realized within the qualitative methodological approach. With the help of semi-structured interviews with parents, the parents' point of view on the role and competences of the school in the educational process of the child were studied, as well as the way parents perceive a tutorial system of communication with the school.

Key words: school, family, competences, childcare,...
