This diploma thesis deals with the education of employees in non-school organization. The thesis is divided into two parts, part of theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part focuses on how education should be set up in non-school organizations, how to identify educational needs and how to apply them to practice. More specifically, this theoretical part focuses primarily on corporate education in general, on resources and characteristics of company education, strategy, goals, methods and also the complete process from identification of educational needs, planning, implementation to evaluation of education itself. The practical part of this diploma thesis is focused on the selected organization XY, which is described throughout this work as the "Kernel a." Organization, as it wished to remain anonymous. In the Kernel a.s. an assessment has been made of how learning needs are identified, how the education is planned, implemented and subsequently evaluated. All this information has been evaluated on the basis of the Internal Education Directive and also on the basis of data obtained through the questionnaire survey method from the random staff of the company under investigation. The questionnaire survey was attended by 81 respondents. Finally, the thesis deals with evaluation and comparison...

Thesis (Ph.D. (Language Education)) --University of Limpopo, 2018 / Despite the introduction of a number of educational policies and measures (for example, the Foundation for Learning Campaign, the National Reading Strategy (2008), Integrated National Literacy and Numeracy Strategy (INLNS) (Department of Basic Education, 2011), Certificate in Primary English Language Teaching (CiPELT)) in 2012-13 to increase the quality of education during and over twenty three years of democracy in South Africa, there are still problems with regard to reading levels of rural South African learners in the intermediate phase. The in/ability to read at grade level, still persist even after the introduction of teaching of English as a subject from Grade 1 in all schools as prescribed by CAPS. Available literature on reading in/abilities in South African schools concedes that the problem lies in the primary schools. The aim of this study was to investigate and determine an effective approach to teaching reading skills in the intermediate phase. I employed convergent parallel design as both the quantitative and qualitative strands were used concurrently and equally. The convergent parallel design is suitable for this study as it allows me to compare and contrast quantitative statistical results with qualitative findings for corroboration and validation purposes. The four main approaches which are; Phonemic awareness, Read-aloud, Shared Reading and Guided Group Reading were tested through the employment of an intervention administered to individual groups of grade 4 learners applying a particular approach for seven weeks. In the light of the aim of the study, it is clear from data presentation that Read-aloud approach yielded better results in terms of developing and promoting reading skills in the rural intermediate phase. Results of post-intervention comprehension test show that the Read-aloud group had remarkable improvement in terms of the number of learners who could read at an acceptable level. Teachers’ experiences about an effective approach were explored through the questionnaire and interviews; and their responses corroborated findings from learners’ post-intervention comprehension test. Nevertheless, Group Guided Reading should not be ignored as the group that was taught reading using this approach had significant improvement that was corroborated by teacher participants’ responses in both the questionnaire and interviews. Thus, in this study I argue that Read-aloud promote and develop reading skills in the rural intermediate phase.

TITTLE Analysis of the dolphin swimmer's four-year training session. AUTHOR Bc. Štěpán Šetek DEPARTMENT Department of physical education SUPERVISOR PaedDr. Irena Svobodová ABSTRACT The theme and aim of the work is to analyze the four-year training cycle of a swimmer specializing in bowling discipline. In the theoretical part, the work is devoted to the characteristics of swimming performance, swimming skills, swimming method of butterflies and its history and last but not least to the training process in swimming. The research part of the thesis deals mainly with the documentation of swimming training. Examiners' training records are recorded, which show the training process from four annual training cycles from 2006 to 2010. The general ones are studied with special indicators and their influence on the observed swimming disciplines.
