<p>U cilju integracije u &scaron;iru zajednicu, pripadnici nacionalnih manjina, koji se obrazuju na jeziku i pismu kojim se služe, imaju pravo i obvezu učiti i službeni jezik države u kojoj žive. Pravo na odgoj i obrazovanje pripadnici nacionalnih manjina u Republici Hrvatskoj ostvaruju u pred&scaron;kolskim ustanovama, osnovnim i srednjim &scaron;kolama te drugim &scaron;kolskim ustanovama na jeziku i pismu nacionalnih manjina, kao i drugim oblicima obrazovanja (seminari, letnje i zimske &scaron;kole i sl.). Obrazovanje učenika nacionalnih manjina provodi se temeljem tri modela organiziranja i provođenja nastave i to: 1.Model A, po kojem se celokupna nastava izvodi na jeziku i pismu nacionalne manjine uz obavezno učenje hrvatskog jezika u istom broju časova u kome se uči jezik manjine; 2.Model B, po kojem se nastava izvodi dvojezično na način da se prirodna grupa predmeta uči na hrvatskom jeziku, a dru&scaron;tvena grupa predmeta na jeziku nacionalne manjine; 3.Model C, po kojem se nastava izvodi na hrvatskom nastavnom jeziku uz dodatnih pet &scaron;kolskih časova namenjenih negovanju jezika i kulture nacionalne manjine.</p> / <p>In order to integrate into the wider community, national minorities, educated in the official language and script of their country of origin, also have the right and obligation to learn the official language of the country in which they live. The right to be educated in their own language, ethnic and national minorities in Croatia exercise in preschools, elementary and secondary schools, other educational institutions and other forms of education (seminars, summer and winter schools, etc..). Education of minority students is based on three models of organizing and conducting classes, namely: 1.Model A, in which the entire education is the language and script of national minority, but the students must also have lessons of Croatian language in the same amount of of hours as they have their minority language, 2. Model B, in which instruction is bilingual in a way that the natural group of subjects is being presented in Croatian, and social group of subjects is being presented in the minority language; 3.Model C, in which classes are held in the Croatian language, with additional five classes designated to fostering language and culture of national minorities.</p>

The thesis focuses on children vulgarity from the basic school teachers` point of view. The children vulgarity is a socio-psychological-communicational phenomenon, frequently discussed in the public but scientifically almost not examined at all. The aim of the thesis is to define factors important for perception and evaluation of children vulgarity by basic school teachers, to specify situations where they meet with vulgarity, how the teachers react and to find out how they evaluate co-operation with parents in situations they have to deal with the children vulgarity together. The research showed that according to their teachers, children learn vulgar words in the family, from their contemporaries and from public media. Teachers feel vulgar words used by children now are stronger than in the past and former vulgar words are considered normal by children today. Teachers say older children use vulgar words more frequently and the words are more intensive than with younger children. When evaluating if vulgarity is appropriate or not, teachers bear in mind context of the situation - in which atmosphere and among what people it is used, whom is it addressed to. They evaluate function and intensity of the word the child used. Each of these factors has got a scale from appropriate/acceptable to...

TITLE: Headmaster as a project manager AUTHOR: Mgr. Bc. Iva Lokajová DEPARTMENT: The centre of school management SUPERVISOR: RNDr. Jana Marková ABSTRACT: The thesis "Headmaster as a project manager" focuses on the topic of project management in schools.

Graph theory and its use in school mathematics This thesis deals with the inclusion of some problems of graph theory in education at secondary school. It contains the necessary theory for teachers as well as several examples of graph theory in school mathematics in elementary school; moreover it describes several well-known problems, which can be solved using graph theory. The work also includes preparation of two lessons. The theme of the first one is drawing in one stroke and an Eulerian cycle in general. Second topic is dedicated to mazes and labyrinths, their transformation to graph and few algorithms for passing through the maze. In the experimental part, the author examines whether the students are able to understand the selected parts of graph theory, and whether they find this topic more interesting than the usual mathematics they are used to at school. The results of this experiment are then compared for children from two types of lower secondary schools.
