Title: Academic self-efficacy of high school students Author: Mgr. et Mgr. Jana Draberová Supervisor: Doc. PhDr. Ilona Gillernová, CSc. Department: Department of Psychology Abstract: This dissertation thesis deals with the concept of academic self-efficacy. The aim of this study was to develop a research tool for assessing high school students` academic self-efficacy, which is not yet available in the Czech environment. The theoretical part is based on a more general level of self-efficacy and further focuses on the specific characteristics of academic self- efficacy and ways of measuring it. The empirical part deals with the development of the questionnaire, with verification of its psychometric characteristics and finding out the relationship with other variables. The research sample consists of 1717 high school students from all regions of the Czech Republic. The research included secondary vocational schools and grammar schools. Students filled in the questionnaire for Czech language and for mathematics. The final research tool is highly reliable and also its validity has been verified. Furthermore, the statistically significant relationship between measured academic self-efficacy and other variables such as school grade, the type of school, gender, specific learning and behavioral disorders or the...

Being the rst of these sets presented by the axioms of Peano (1858 - 1932) and the latter results of Dedekind cuts (1831 - 1916) on the set of rational numbers. The passage the set of natural numbers to the integers and for these the rational is done by equivalence classes. From a historical perspective, in order to do that mathematics could advance, had to migrate from a sense of \reality" to an abstract concept of number not subject to the amount of idea. Since the beginning of this formal-logical construction of number systems it is necessary to use the concept of correspondences between any two non-empty sets. Finally , are also addressed the polynomial functions of 1st and 2nd degrees and the respective charts in orthogonal Cartesian plane. / O presente trabalho aborda a constru c~ao l ogico-formal dos sistemas num ericos desde, o conjunto dos n umeros naturais at e ao dos n umeros reais. Sendo o primeiro destes conjuntos apresentado pelos axiomas de Peano (1858 - 1932), e o ultimo resulta dos cortes de Dedekind (1831 - 1916) sobre ao conjunto dos n umeros racionais. A passagem do conjunto dos n umeros naturais ao dos inteiros e destes ao dos racionais e realizado por classes de equival^encias. Em uma perspectiva hist orica, a m de que, a Matem atica pudesse avan car, era preciso migrar de uma no c~ao de \realidade" para um conceito abstrato de n umero n~ao subordinado a ideia de quantidade. Desde o in cio desta constru c~ao l ogico-formal dos sistemas num ericos faz-se necess ario o uso do conceito de correspond^encias entre dois conjuntos n~ao vazios quaisquer. Por m, s~ao tamb em abordadas as fun c~oes polinomiais de 1o e 2o graus e seus respectivos gr a cos no plano cartesiano ortogonal.
