Abstract/Notes: The diploma thesis is focused on finding the motivational structure for physical aktivity of a specific group of children from a selected private primary school. These students are attending first through ninth grade, therefore attending both lower primary and upper primary school. Based on their classes, they have been divided into three examined groups. The first group consists of pupils of younger school age, pupils of the first through third grade, the second group consists of pupils of middle school age, which includes pupils of the fourth to sixth grade and the last third group consists of pupils of older school age, which corresponds age of pupils in the seventh to ninth year of compulsory school attendance. Due to my pedagogical work as a teacher at this school, the pupils were deliberately chosen from the Private Primary School and Kindergarten Viva Bambini s.r.o. based in České Budějovice. This school teaches according to the principles of an Italian doctor, anthropologist, and pedagogue Maria Montessori. The aim of the diploma thesis is, by processing statistical data from a questionnaire survey submitted to both school students and their legal guardians (parents), to determine the motivational factors that lead them to physical activity. From their answers, I find out what influence... / Diplomová práce je zaměřena na zjištění motivační struktury k pohybové aktivitě specifické skupiny dětí z vybrané soukromé základní školy. Jedná se o žáky docházející na první i druhý stupeň, tedy žáky první až deváté třídy, kteří jsou rozděleni podle tří věkových kategorií do třech zkoumaných skupin. První skupinu tvoří žáci mladšího školního věku, tedy žáci první až třetí třídy, druhá skupina se skládá z žáků středního školního věku, kam spadají žáci čtvrté až šesté třídy a poslední třetí skupinu tvoří žáci staršího školního věku, která odpovídá věku žáků v sedmém až devátém ročníku povinné školní docházky. Žáci jsou, vzhledem k mému pedagogickému působení coby pedagoga na této škole, záměrně vybráni, a to z důvodu dobré dostupnosti ze Soukromé základní školy a mateřské školy Viva Bambini s. r. o. se sídlem v Českých Budějovicích. Tato škola vyučuje dle zásad a principů italské lékařky, antropoložky a pedagožky Marie Montessori. Cílem diplomové práce je, pomocí zpracování statistických dat z dotazníkového šetření, předloženého jak žákům školy, tak i jejich zákonným zástupcům (rodičům), zjistit motivační faktory, které je vedou k pohybové aktivitě. Z jejich odpovědí zjišťuji, jaký vliv k pohybové aktivitě u těchto dětí mají motivační faktory, které na ně působí ze strany rodiny, kamarádů ale také...

Abstract/Notes: This action research was conducted to examine the effects of peer discussion groups on the comfort and confidence of lower-elementary Montessori teachers in conducting literature based anti-bias lessons. The intervention was conducted in a private, urban, Montessori school, serving students from toddler to middle school. The participants of this study were five first-third grade teachers, including the participant researcher. Data was collected through pre- and postintervention surveys, teacher post-lesson self-assessments, transcription coding of discussion groups, and researcher self-reflection rating scale and journal prompts. Three discussion groups were scheduled two weeks apart, with teachers giving literature-based, anti-bias lessons between the first and second discussion groups and the second and third discussion groups. Data indicated that teachers became more comfortable and confident in their anti-bias teaching practice and that the discussion groups created a space for reflective dialogue. The action plan suggests that this intervention could have a farther reach if it were conducted for a longer period of time, across a wider age range, and in multiple schools.
