Radkovi Marušákovi za odborné vedení této diplomové práce. 4 Abstrakt: Tato diplomová práce se zabývá dítětem předškolního věku a jeho zájmem o knihu pro děti. Zjišťuje, s jakými literárními žánry jsou děti v mateřské škole seznamovány. Ověřuje rozdíl mezi dvěma postupy při práci s knihou pro děti, a to předčítáním a prostřednictvím metod dramatické výchovy. V první části jsou rozpracovány dvě hlavní oblasti: literatura a dramatická výchova ve vztahu k dítěti předškolního věku. Druhá část zjišťuje prostřednictvím dotazníkového šetření míru a podobu využívaní literárních žánrů učiteli mateřských škol. Na dotazníkové šetření navazuje zpracování výsledků akčního výzkumu, který se zabýval mírou dětského zaujetí pro dané knihy. Hlavním kriteriem pro vyhodnocení...

This thesis called Verification of a Reliability of The Visual Perception Test built on a pilot study of Felcmanová (2015), who using test-retest reliability, developed a test for visual perception. Due to previous research including a smaller sample size, the main aim of this thesis was to gather data of a larger sample and compare the new and previous results. Given this objective, the test-retest methodology was therefore adopted for this project as well. Besides this main goal, recommendations were formulated for adjusting the test and manual (more detailed instructions, practical demonstration and evaluation examples). Simultaneously this research diagnosed the level of visual perception of children forming the research sample. The theoretical backgrounds builds the backdrop of current knowledge in the field of visual perception and diagnostic, to which results were eventually related. It further describes specifics of diagnostic of children in pre-school age. The chosen sample for the verification of reliability consisted of 57 pre-school age children. During the data exploration eight children were selected, whose results were found to present extreme values. As a consequence this research has found that the co-efficient of conformity of measurement through the test-retest method reached a...

The diploma thesis is divided into the theoretical and research part. In the theoretical part, we explain the concepts of pre-school age and its development. We are dealing with the division of pre-school institutions into state, non-state and private. We describe the possibilities of alternative education. Definition of legislative documentation of pre-school education. The research section focuses on non-state and private preschool institutions. What these devices differ from state kindergarten and what they offer in pre-school education.

This diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of prediction of specific learning disabilities among children of preschool age. The thesis is divided into two consequent parts a theoretical part and a practical part. In the theoretical part I focus mainly on the etiology and the diagnosis of specific learning disabilities. The thesis focuses mainly on given examples of a few predictive batteries from Czech and even foreign authors. The practical part contains results of a research survey where are the data I collected through predictive battery of British authors: Nicolson and Fawcett: The Dyslexia Early Screening Test. The main objective of the diploma thesis was to find out the possibility of using this test by pedagogical workers at pre-schools in order to avoid specific learning disabilities. For the research, the quantitative research method was used.

The thesis deals with the support and development of the music activities for preschool children at kindergarten. Its aim is to build a complete preview showing the current concept of the music class at kindergarten and the positive music influence on the whole individual in the field of physics, psychics and sociality. On the one hand, it calls attention to the risky and inconvenient pedagogical methods in relation to children and their talents in general and on the other hand, it shows the way of creating a positive music relationship for the future living.

The diploma thesis is focused on mathematical knowledge of pupils at the beginning of primary school. The theoretical part deals with characteristics of a preschool child and of a child at the beginning of a primary school, and especially with the specifics in their cognitive functions. Further the theses includes a chapter with an overview of several surveys about mathematical skills of Czech pupils. Finally, there is a chapter about building mathematical ideas at school and in a family. The practical part of the theses presents the results of the quantitative research in the field of mathematical ideas of a primary school child.

This anticipated piece of work named "Teaching Spanish in preschool and young school age is divided into two parts. The first part is the theoretical part and describes the evolutionary specifics of preschool and young school-aged children. The diploma thesis responds to very frequent question when is appropriate to start with teaching a foreign language. It also describes the advantages and disadvantages of teaching foreign languages in early age. It also pursues the issue how should be the teaching of a foreign language realized in preschool institutions and in the first grade of primary school. The second part of diploma thesis is a handbook for teaching Spanish in preschool age which is made on the basis of experimental method for teaching French.

(in English): This master thesis focuses on the children of preschool or younger school age living in recomposed family. The purpose of the thesis is to draw attention to this topic and point out risks that it could influence child development as well as describe this topic within its complexity and social contexts. The theoretical part presents the institution of family and its evolution over the last decades. Afterwards presents recomposed family by describing what anticipate this phenomenon, types of recomposed family and relationships between its members. The empirical part applies a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews. The research sample consisted of five experts in child psychology. The research problem could be formulated as a question: Which parts of the phenomenon of recomposed family could have effect on child development?

The primary prevention of dental caries includes the regular reduction of dental plaque, the adequate nutrition with reduced frequency of sugar intake and the application of topical and/or alimentary fluorides. The caries-protective effect of fluorides is based on the stabilization of demineralization/remineralization processes in the surface of teeth. The alimentary fluoride intake involves its nutritional sources, fluoride supplements when administered and unintentionally swallowed fluoride toothpastes. The fluoride intake, besides its verifiable and significant contribution to the control of cariogenic conditions in the oral cavity, brings some risk in the period of permanent teeth development. That is why the fluoride intake in childhood ought to be well set up and controlled for achieving the maximum benefit in caries reduction and for minimizing the risk for the enamel development. The assessment on fluoride content in its most significant nutritional sources and the model estimates of fluoride intake in preschool children have been conducted with the aim at contributing the solution of the benefit/risk strategy of fluoride caries prevention. The fluoride content was estimated in bottled waters for preschool children, in instant milk formulas, in herbal teas for children and in instant products of...

The work deals with preschool age and the M. Montessori view of the education. The aim is to point out the contributio24n of montessori materials and their use in nursery schools. The theoretic part describes the historic evolution of preschool education, psychological and sociological development of a child of preschool age, game and alternative programmes. I focused mainly on the M. Montessori pedagogy and described it theoretically. The practical part contains comparison of three chosen schools: NS Vokovická Praha 6, Montessori class in NS Meteorologická Praha and Montessori class in Tábor. In all these schools the montessori pedagogy principals are being applied. In these schools they work, not only, with original montessori materials, but also with other materials, which fulfill certain standards and also with some that were made by teachers themselves. In NS Vokovická toys are also being used. Despite some differences all of the schools agree on the basic thought: they put the child in the first position just like M. Montessori used to do.
