Professional readiness of children in children´s homes from the point of view of social work
FLEKALOVÁ, Simona
This bachelor thesis focuses on the role of the social worker in the professional preparation of children in children's homes, but also on the subjects involved in this process. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find out what procedures and activities are carried out by the social worker in preparing children for secondary education, what methods are used or what actors are involved. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. In the theoretical part of the thesis I deal with the definition of institutional education in the Czech Republic, the legislative anchoring of this issue, the role of the social worker in the children's home, and finally the child's departure from institutional education. The practical part of the thesis is devoted to the research itself. In order to achieve the goal, qualitative research, questionnaire method, semi-structured interview technique was chosen. One research set was chosen, which consisted of 5 social workers from the Czech Republic. The collected data was evaluated using elements of the grounded theory method, with open coding and categorization in the first stage and axial coding in the second stage with finding relationships between the codes and categories. Graphical processing of the categories was done in Atlas.ti. The results of the research show that the social worker in professional readiness in children's homes is mainly responsible for administrative tasks and communication with children and parents of the children placed. Many actors are involved in the process of professional readiness mainly educators, the director of the institution or the primary school. Non-profit organisations that organise weekend or holiday stays for the children and, last but not least, the services of the employment office and school fairs are still widely used.

Quality of life of Children in Orphanages with School and youth Detention Centres
TÖRÖKOVÁ, Tereza
The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis describes topics related to institutional care in the Czech Republic, quality of life, individual models and measurements. The conclusion of the theoretical thesis is devoted to the social worker in institutional care, what prerequisites he/she must meet and what is the fulfilment of his/her work. The aim of the practical part was to find out the quality of life of children and adolescents in children's homes with school and educational institutions. In order to fulfill the objective, a quantitative research strategy was selected and implemented on the basis of the standardized questionnaire KIDSCREEN-27. The research was conducted in 5 institutions located in the territory of the South Bohemia Region, the Vysočina Region and the Central Bohemia Region. A total of 35 respondents participated in the research. The data were subsequently analyzed in MS Excel charts. A total of 3 hypotheses were established. The first hypothesis examined whether physical activity has a positive effect on children's quality of life. Based on a comparison of individual results, the hypothesis was not confirmed. Hypothesis 2 looked at whether the children's friends, have an effect on their quality of life. This hypothesis was also not confirmed according to the results. The last hypothesis examined whether parents negatively affect children's quality of life. After comparing the results, it was found that the hypothesis was not confirmed. This bachelor thesis can serve the general public as well as the professional public, who in this way can gain insight into the issue of institutional education and get an overview of how children live in these institutions. The thesis is also a useful insight into this issue for the reason that not much is said about children's homes with schooling and educational institutions and not much research is conducted on it, as just for example on traditional children's homes.

The attitude of educators in children's homes at the end of their career
MIŇOVSKÁ VOCŮ, Hana
The aim of the work is to describe how educators at the end of their professional career perceive their work in a children's home. For this purpose, the principles of substitute care, especially the forms of institutional education, were described in the theoretical part. With regard to the target group of female informants, a separate sub-chapter was dedicated to the children's home. Because institutional education cannot fully replace family education, attention was also paid to the risks of institutional education, especially the psychological deprivation that children from orphanages are often exposed to. In the following subchapters, the specifics of the educator's work in a children's home and his risk of stress, which can be one of the many factors of burnout syndrome, were described. Therefore, attention was also paid to prevention. The creative part is processed in the form of a qualitative approach. Data obtained from semi-structured interviews were analyzed and then interpreted through open coding.
