The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of perception and understanding of leisure time in the works of selected Czech and Slovak authors in the last 20 years. The authors? conceptions of leisure education are confronted with one another with the aim to grasp the main developmental tendencies, forms and current aspirations of leisure education.

The paper approaches the concept of leisure education from the viewpoint of its position within the classification of educational sciences, from the historical point of view and from the points of view of the individual authors and university subjects.

This diploma thesis deals with chemistry and science after school clubs, which are held in schools or in official public organization called "leisure education centres". Chemistry after school clubs, play an important role in motivating pupils to further study chemistry, enabling them to carry out more experiments, acquiring practical skills, and applying theoretical knowledge. Last but not least, chemistry after school clubs help pupils to spend their leisure time meaningfully. This thesis is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes the importance of leisure time, motivation for education legal basis for leisure education and other topics related to chemical interest groups. The practical part contains the results and analysis of the questionnaire survey, which was realized mainly among the chemistry teachers. The results of the survey show that the chemistry clubs are mostly focused on the realization of the experiments and the dissemination of the curriculum. And the pupils themselves are primarily interested in establishing of clubs. Most after school clubs aren't organized in leisure education centre. For this reason, they can't use state funding for the clubs, which are organized in leisure education centre.

Após um período de aproximadamente um mês do último encontro com os professores, realizamos uma entrevista individual com os participantes. A análise dos encontros levou-nos a concluir que existem quatro contribuições educativas implícitas e explícitas nas reflexões e nos relatos das ações dos professores investigados, sintetizadas nas seguintes categorias: o espaço escolar e a organização das aulas; concepção de Escola e de Educação Física Escolar; conteúdos da Educação Física Escolar e formação de atitudes; práticas pedagógicas da Educação Física Escolar explícitas para uma educação para o lazer.

The objective consisted to realize if the Physical Education teacher's understandings and/or pedagogical practice reports contribute or might contribute to leisure education. The present research was based on action-research's theoretical references due to its qualitative perspective. This methodological focus permitted us to accomplish eight collective meetings in order to intervene in a group formed by four Physical Education teachers from public and private schools at Rio Claro city. About one month after the group's last meeting, we have individually interviewed the teachers. The meetings' analysis led us to conclude there are four educative implicit and explicit contributions in the investigated teacher's reflexions and action reports which are synthetized in the following categories: the school place and the classes organization; school and Physical Education concepts; Physical Education's contents and attitudes' formation; Physical Education's pedagogical explicit practices for leisure education. The final interviews showed that Physical Education and leisure education relations provided during the meetings made it possible to construct and improve knowlegdes that were incorporated in the Physical Education classes as possible contributions to the students' leisure time out of school. Moreover, we point out another sorts of repercussions which were emphasized by the teachers and are related to satisfaction by participating in this research, by meeting new people, by exchanging experiences and by reflecting about their own professional and personal lives in a leisure dimension context. / Mestre
