I create a diploma thesis with a combination of quantitative and qualitative research, which examines the process of integrating children into the environment of kindergartens. In this work, I comprehensively find out how the kindergarten team participates in the process of inclusion of socially disadvantaged children. In the theoretical part I characterize social pedagogy and groups of socially disadvantaged children, including the legislative definition. I mention documents relating to pre-school education and mention counseling services that serve teachers, parents and children in the field of social disadvantage. I divide the practical part into two phases of research. For the first phase of the empirical part, I choose quantitative research, where I find out by the method of a questionnaire survey, general information of teachers in the given issue, basic orientation in school documents and different methods of work. In the second phase of the practical part, in the form of qualitative research, I create unstructured interviews. Through the interview, I supplement the information obtained from the questionnaire survey and obtain comprehensive data on the process of integrating socially disadvantaged children into kindergarten. By setting the main goals of the diploma thesis, I find out the...

This thesis concerns with the prevention of specific learning disabillities of children during their start of schooling, using the predictive test battery. The paper's goal is to focus on prediction signals of specific learning disorders and their timely prevention. Conclusion of our thesis is an up-to-date knowledge about preschool phase, school maturity and preparedness of children, knowledge about sub-function deficits, specific learning disabillities, its manifestation and posibilities of timely prevention. Research part's focus point is practical testing and evaluation of sub-functions with the help of diagnostic material named:"learning and writing disability hazards test for preschoolers." Test is undertaken by a group of six children in their mandatory preschool education year and is followed by intervention targeted at discovered areas with defecits. This group is filled in with case studies. After 6 months of intervention, during which the students started attending primary school, a post-test is performed to evaluate achieved results and compare them with a control group consisting of randomly chosen pupils attending first year of primary school as well. By combining theoretical and practical knowledge, we can define risk factors that allow us to predict specific learning disabilities...

The diploma thesis focuses on the topic of cultivating microgreens in nursery school. Microgreens are young plants of various species of vegetable, that are grown in soil and are harvested approximetely after ten days. The simplicity of growing microgreens makes it an appropriate activity for preeschool-age children. Besides rewarding the children with nutricious food, it brings children the oppoturnity to develop key competences and pre- literacies. The theoretical part is an information base for growing microgreens in kindergarten conditions. It describes cultivating plants in kindergarten, it deals with historicaly, legislatively and didactic point of wiew and also describe kinds of microgreens, possibilities of use and cultivation procedures suitable for kindergarten. The aim of the diploma thesis is to present the possibility of growing microgreens in nursery school with preschool children. The empirical part focuses on the design and implementation of a set of activities in which children in kindergarten grow microgreens. In addition to cultivation, other activities are also included, in which children use the topic of microgreens in individual stages of growth. The set of activities aims primarily on reaching environmental education goals and is created using a logical model. It is...

En maternelle, tous les domaines de développement de l’enfant sont sollicités (moteur, cognitif, langagier, affectif et social). Plus particulièrement, l’enfant développe sa compétence sociale par ses diverses interactions avec les autres. En milieu défavorisé, plusieurs enjeux peuvent entraver le développement de l’enfant et la mise en place de mesures préventives est nécessaire. Les recherches des dernières années suggèrent que l’éducation musicale pourrait soutenir le développement global de l’enfant. L’objectif de cette recherche qualitative était d’explorer comment l’éducation musicale en contexte scolaire peut contribuer au développement de la compétence sociale de l’enfant d’âge préscolaire en milieu défavorisé. Dans ce but, des entretiens virtuels semi-dirigés ont été réalisés auprès d’enseignantes de maternelle (n = 2), d’enseignants de musique (n = 2) et de parents (n = 5) d’enfants qui ont participé à un projet d’éducation musicale intensif pendant deux ans (maternelle 4 ans et maternelle 5 ans). Une analyse thématique de contenu semi-inductive a permis de constater que des changements ont été observés dans les relations de l’enfant avec les autres à la suite de sa participation au programme, notamment avec ses enseignants de musique, ses parents et ses pairs. Selon les témoignages des participants, les enfants du programme ont développé leur ouverture aux autres et leur sentiment d’autoefficacité. Aucun mécanisme d’autorégulation des émotions et des comportements chez les enfants n’a été observé par les parents ou par les enseignants. L’instauration d’un programme d’éducation musicale à la maternelle a permis d’offrir un contexte favorable au développement d’un sentiment d’appartenance à l’école et au programme musical chez les enfants, les enseignants et les parents. Les modalités d’un programme musical intensif restent toutefois à définir afin d’être plus adaptés aux besoins de l’enfant d’âge préscolaire et au contexte scolaire. / In kindergarten, every aspect of a child's development is stimulated (motor, cognitive, language, affective and social). More specifically, children develop their social competence through various interactions with others. In disadvantaged environments, several issues can hinder a child's development, and preventive measures must be put in place. Research in recent years suggests that music education can support a child's development. The aim of this qualitative research was to explore how music education in a school context can contribute to the development of social competence in preschool children from disadvantaged backgrounds. For this purpose, virtual semistructured interviews were conducted with kindergarten teachers (n = 2), music teachers (n = 2) and parents (n = 5) of children who participated in an intensive two-year music education project (in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten). A semi-inductive thematic content analysis found that changes were observed in children's relationships with others following their participation in the program, particularly with their music teachers, parents, and peers. According to participant feedback, children in the program developed their openness to others and their sense of selfefficacy. No self-regulatory mechanisms for children’s emotions and behaviors were observed by parents or teachers. A music education program in kindergarten provided a favorable context for the development of a sense of belonging to the school and the music program among children, teachers, and parents. However, the conditions of an intensive music program still need to be defined to be better adapted to the needs of the preschooler and the school context.
