Cyberbullying from the Perspective of Primary School Teachers
VONDRÁČKOVÁ, Jana
This thesis is developing on the theme of cyberbullying from the perspective of primary school teachers. I am describing basic facts about cyberbullying, its stakeholders, different types of cyberbullying, the means being used to cyberbullying and legislation related to this topic. Also cyberbullying prevention is analysed in this work. As this thesis has focused on the perspective of elementary school teachers, different roles of teachers are described. At the end of the theoretical part, selected projects related to the cyberbullying prevention in the Czech Republic are presented, as well as examples of bullying through information and communication technologies. Main method used for the practical part of the thesis was a qualitative research, based on questionnaires. Data were collected through semi-standardized interview. Participants were elementary school teachers in the district of Ceske Budejovice. Fifty-three elementary schools have been approached to participate in the study, however only three of them agreed to take part. The interview consisted of twelve questions and several sub-questions. The purpose of these interviews was to determine the attitude of teachers towards cyberbullying and whether elementary school teachers know how to deal with this form of bullying. The answers of the respondents confirmed that elementary school teachers recognize that cyberbullying is a substantial problem that it is difficult to tackle. They are taking cyberbullying serious and in most cases prevent their pupils. Besides that they try to protect themselves, by disclosing no private information in social networks. Teachers, who are specialized in prevention methodology or in educational consulting, are able to deal with cyberbullying due to the information they gained in lectures, seminars, and trainings. However, not all of them would tackle the issue themselves, without any professional help. Other teachers, without any specialized training would never tackle cyberbullying themselves. They would rather ask an expert, either from their school or external one. However they are showing interest in this form of bullying and actively searching for the solution in various publications and on the Internet. Tackling cyberbullying is a main purpose of Program for cyberbullying prevention. Each school should have had such a program and its preparation and implementation should involve all teachers. In reality all the schools have formally such a program, however it does not involved all the teachers: in most cases the program only one teacher is being responsible of its preparation and implementation. Other teachers are aware of it, however are not involved enough. It would be beneficial to find funds for all primary school teacher trainings in bullying through information and communication technologies. Cyberbullying is a general thread to each of them, and therefore they should be aware of this form of bullying. Primary schools should follow the recommendations of the Ministry of Education, to enable all the teachers to participate in building prevention programs. The reason is the same as the first recommendation. With the creation of such a program, teachers would learn about cyberbullying and the method to tackle it.

The problems of CAN syndrom from look the basic school teachers'
JANDOVÁ, Martina
Occurrence of Child Abuse and Neglect (CAN) has recently become quite frequent. Even though the number of experts dealing with this issue is increasing and there is a lot of professional literature available, the numbers of children abused and neglected are on increase. Traumas and pathological behaviour, which children experience in their families, are often carried over to adulthood and new families in the form of behavioural patterns. Basic school teachers, who spend substantial part of the day with children in the classes, play an important role not only in prevention, but also in detecting CAN cases. The objective of the diploma thesis was to observe the level of awareness among teachers regarding CAN and related issues and to find out whether they know what to do in case a child is suspected of being abused or neglected. Also, it was aimed at learning whether the awareness is influenced by microregion the teachers live in and respondents? age. The hypotheses were established to observe whether the teachers of basic schools in Jindřichův Hradec have better awareness of the issues relating to CAN than the teachers of basic schools in Třeboň, and whether the teachers of basic schools in Jindřichův Hradec have better awareness of the issues relating to CAN than the teachers of basic schools in Dačice. Next hypothesis dealt with whether basic school teachers under 40 years of age demonstrate better CAN awareness than teachers above 40 years of age. A quantitative research using the method of interview and technique of questionnaire was used to verify the hypotheses. The research corpus comprised of teachers of basic schools in the microregions of Dačice, Jindřichův Hradec and Třeboň. The finite corpus comprised of 193 respondents. The teachers of basic schools in the microregion of Jindřichův Hradec did not demonstrate better awareness of the issues relating to CAN than the teachers of basic schools the microregions of Třeboň and Dačice. Also, the teachers under 40 years of age did not demonstrate better awareness of the issues at hand than the teachers above 40 years of age. Analysis of the outcomes retrieved from the performed research did not confirm validity of the hypotheses H1, H2 and H3. The outcomes of the thesis imply that awareness of the basic school teachers, who were included in the research corpora in the given microregions, regarding the issues relating to CAN do not relate either to given microregions, where teachers work, or the age of the respondents. In general, respondents showed substantial awareness of CAN. It should be noted that CAN is very serious social problem and each society should pay proper attention to it.
