V roce 1990 fungovalo v ČR celkem 1043 veřejných jeslí, v roce 2000 jich bylo evidováno pouze 67 a do roku 2007 klesl jejich počet jen na 49. V souvislosti s porodní křivkou silné generace 70. let se s nedostupností péče o malé děti potýká většina rodičů dětí předškolního věku. Tento problém bude v nejbližších letech přerůstat do prvního stupně základních škol. Ve školním roce 2011/2012 nebylo jen v hlavním městě Praha přijato přes 8000 dětí. Počet předškoláků v hlavním městě Praha i nadále roste, podle očekávání magistrátu tomu tak bude příští dva až tři roky. Stejné zkušenosti mají místní samosprávy v celém Česku. Vzáří 2012 nenastoupilo do školek na 50 000 dětí, které by nastoupit chtěly či potřebovaly. Je zde nastaven přesně opačný trend než ve vyspělých zemích, kde jako ve Francii jsou školky součástí školského systému.

In this paper, the author analyzes the impossibility of coexistence of educational contents that are contradictory to one another. The author tries to point at the problem of opposites that originates in the phenomenon of contemporary existence of religious education as an optional subject in the school system of Republic of Srpska and an attempt to introduce new educational content entitled “Sexual education” as an optional subject in high schools in Serbia. According to the Article 40 of the Law on Churches and Religious Associations, “the right to deliver religious education in civil and private elementary and high schools is guaranteed by the law”, which results from the Article 1 of the same Law (Official Gazette of Republic of Srpska, No. 36/2006). The author wants to point at the danger of introducing the subject “Sexual education” in schools, which is in collision with the aforementioned Law, which may endanger the principal moral values of the traditional Churches and religious associations, as well as to cause a negative critique by the society. The rush toward the European way of integrations, which, in the words of professor Panov, demands the sacrifice of real and original moral values for the sake of the propagated moral suspension, is actually a wrong path that has “Sexual education” or, as they named it in the pilot project, “Reproductive health education” as one of its many small stops.

No social issue has attracted as much attention as homosexuality did. In Romania, scientific research on attitudes towards gay men and lesbian women is still poor.This paper summarizes the main findings of an exploratory study that aimed to determine the social representation of homosexuality among 375 Romanian university students. The participants completed a standardized task based on free association technique. The responses were analyzed lexically and semantically to differentiate the associations from a qualitative perspective. The structural approach was based on prototypical analysis.The results highlighted four dimensions of the social representation Romanian students have about homosexuality: a) a common representation (e.g., a different sexual orientation, boys/men, attraction between two persons of the same sex); b) a dimension related to desirable values of human existence (e.g., love); c) a pathological dimension (e.g., mental illness, abnormality/deviation); d) a religious dimension (e.g.,sin).

Communication represents a process of interaction between people, groups, as a relation mediated through word, image, gesture, symbol or sign. Through it, individuals share their knowledge, experiences, interests, attitudes, feelings, opinions, ideas. Viewed as a process, communication consists in transmission and exchange of information (messages) between individuals. Communication means to tell those around you who you are, what you want, why you want a certain thing, and what are the means you will use to achieve your goals. Communication is defined as “a process through which a transmitter sends information to the receiver through a channel, in order to produce certain effects on the receiver.” In the present paper we analyze the most important types of communication: intrapersonal communication, interpersonal communication, small group communication, public communication / in organizations and mass communication. The success of communication in organizations depends on its manager, who must be a true manager of his organization's communication system, and this requires a continuous effort on his part in accumulating knowledge and training skills in organizational and interpersonal communication

The formative role of reading is obvious in today's society marked by unrest of all kinds. Reading can and must become a moral support in the turbulent times we live in. All generations can find in reading a continuous life partner, a necessary and surprising way out of the daily labyrinth. From a formative point of view, reading literary texts develops thinking, imagination and the ability to communicate, offering themes and topics for discussion and debate, so encouraging the act of reading must become an imperative of contemporaneity.

Ukraine is a multinational and multicultural country. Though Ukrainian scientists have studied the issue of multicultural education from different aspects, nevertheless, there is no special or ideal model of multicultural education. That is why we decided to monitor the students’ multicultural education state at secondary schools of Ukraine. In order to identify the state of multicultural education in Ukrainian schools we conducted an empirical study in schools of Cherkasy region among primary, secondary and senior level students. The main method was determined as questionnaire, which is provided for clarification of issues of national-patriotic and multicultural orientation. Accordingly, questionnaires that combined quantitative and qualitative data collection were offered to the 4th, 6th and 11th grade students in some schools in Uman and Uman district, covering 296 respondents. Thus, the monitoring of the state of multicultural education in Ukrainian school education has shown that the problem of multicultural upbringing of children and young people is addressed at the government level, relevant research is conducted, some aspects of multiculturalism are observed in educational programs of some subjects, but the level of multicultural education of students should be higher.

U ovom radu analiziramo koliko studentice i studenti koji se deklariraju kao muslimanke i muslimani poznaju sebe i svoju religijsku tradiciju, koliko prakticiraju islam, ali i koliko poznaju druge religijske tradicije u svom okruženju te kakve stavove imaju o svojim komšijama katolicima, pravoslavnim, jevrejima i onima koji se izjašnjavaju kao ateisti i agnostici. Građani Bosne i Hercegovine uglavnom žive u etnički i religijski podijeljenim i homogenim sredinama i mladi se socijaliziraju i obrazuju u takvom okruženju, uz religijsko konfesionalno obrazovanje koje pohađa većina djece. Sociološko istraživanje pod nazivom ”Koliko se poznajemo” ima za cilj pokazati da li u kojoj mjeri nepoznavanje vlastite a posebno religije/konfesije drugoga doprinosi socijalnog distanci, te da li je to prepreka dijalogu i izgradnji kulture mira. Stupanj religioznosti mladih je analiziran kroz ideološku, obrednu i intelektualnu dimenziju, kako bi se utvrdilo koja je razina religijske pismenosti. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju koje vrste autostereotipa muslimanke i muslimani imaju o sebi, uglavnom pozitivnih, u odnosu na druge, ali i koje vrste heterostereotipa imaju prema svojim komšijama. U konačnici, koliko muslimani kao najbrojniji u BiH (50,7 procenata ukupne populacije) pokazuju socijalnu distancu prema svojim komšijama jevrejima, katolicima i pravoslavnim, ali nereligioznim osobama, i koliko to utječe na njihovu opredijeljenost za prihvaćanje različitosti, a ne samo pasivnu toleranciju?

Vzpomínám si, jak jsem jako tříletá malovala tento obrázek. Je to jen záblesk paměti, krátká vzpomínka na intenzivní prožívání procesu tvoření. Byla jsem sama v pokoji. Malovala jsem velkého zeleného čerta, snad abych se nebála, abych měla společnost. Pamatuji si radost z práce se zeleně se lesknoucí barvou, která mě uklidňovala, byla veselá, vybízela k další hře. Také spokojenost a pýchu z výtvoru, který se mi přece tak povedl. Vždyť byl jako živý, se všemi podrobnostmi a znaky, které čerta dělají čertem, se všemi detaily a s tím veselým výrazem. Byl to přeci hodný čert, měl své jméno a byl to můj kamarád.

Potřeba výtvarně zobrazovat, experimentovat, tvořit … provází dítě od okamžiku, kdy začne objevovat svět. Předškolní vzdělávání by mělo využívat této přirozené činnosti, nabídnout dítěti prostřednictvím výtvarné tvorby možnosti pro sebevyjádření, seberealizaci a obecně pro rozvoj vlastní osobnosti. Jestliže se vrátíme k odkazu J. A. Komenského, zjistíme, že již v Informatoriu školy mateřské ocenil přínos výtvarných činností, což potvrzuje následující text: „Mají také do malířství a písařství zavozovány býti hned v té mateřské škole dítky, a to třeba hned v třetím neb čtvrtém roku…, jmenovitě dáváním jim do ruky křídy (neb uhle u chudších), a tím aby sobě punkty, čáry, háky, kliky, kříže, kolečka dělaly, jak chtí… vše za hry a kratochvíle“. (Vybrané spisy I 1958, s. 314).

Metody a formy uplatňované v předškolním vzdělávání by měly reagovat na autentické zážitky dětí. Jak již bylo řečeno, měly by být i východiskem pro výtvarnou tvorbu dětí. Je třeba si uvědomit, že „zážitek je jen to, co si účastník ze situace vědomě nebo bezděčně pamatuje, může si to později vybavit a nějak se podle toho chovat nebo o tom něco různými formami vypovědět.“ (Slavík 2007, s. 168). Neméně důležité je, aby učitel v předškolním vzdělávání podporoval a utvářel takové situace, které budou dětmi spojovány s příjemnými prožitky. J. Slavík (2007, s. 166) chápe prožitek jako „citovou (emoční) nebo pocitovou složku zážitku. Týká se vnímání tělesnosti (např. svíravý pocit strachu nebo povznášející záchvěv radosti) nebo smyslových či pohybových dojmů (např. zaplavující dojem ze sluncem ozářeného pole ohnice, závan horka, bolest namáhaného svalu). Prožitek není čistě fyzickou nebo fyziologickou záležitostí, je poznamenán kulturními vlivy – část neuvědomovaným působením tradic, konvencí, pojmů i osobního přístupu k nim)“. Příležitosti k učení by měly podporovat kooperativní učení, zároveň by ale měly nabízet dítěti příležitosti projevit individuální dispozice. V předškolním vzdělávání by neměly chybět hravé činnosti, ale také zajímavé podněty pro objevy, které uspokojí potřebu dítěte zkoumat svět. Mateřská škola by měla rovněž vytvořit prostor pro spontánní aktivity dětí, podporovat jejich zájmy. I ty se mohou stát příležitostí pro záměrné výchovné a vzdělávací působení. Rámcový vzdělávací program podporuje popsané přístupy ke vzdělávání, proto hovoří o tzv. „situačním učení, které je založené na vytváření a využívání situací“.

The old conceptual approach known as the "traditional paradigm of education", according to which the professor or teacher thinks and orders, and the students only execute, is becoming a thing of the past. The environment is too dynamic and full of changes for the classical approach to learning and teaching to remain viable and usable in human life. It follows that everyone, both teachers and students, must learn, that is, be ready for the integrative process of lifelong learning. Lifelong learning implies the integration of formal, non-formal and informal learning in order to acquire opportunities for continuous improvement of the quality of life. Young people who are educated within the institutions of the education system in Bosnia and Herzegovina are forced to constantly change and improve their own habits, abilities and skills in order to be as competitive as possible on the labor market.

A special problem in regular schools is that all children who have been found to experience or have certain difficulties or special needs are not categorized. In this case, teachers and professional staff do not have any formal obligation to adjust the curriculum. This implies that these students are only integrated, but not included in the teaching process, which is created according to their individual needs and development possibilities. In this paper, the issue of adequate implementation of inclusive educational work is analyzed, with a special emphasis on the importance of including children with disabilities in inclusive education, the role of teachers in the implementation of the inclusive educational process, and the importance of educators', teachers' and teachers' attitudes towards children with disabilities. in development and their inclusion. In addition, the importance and highlighted role of teachers and all other actors of the educational process in achieving the proclaimed goals of social inclusion of children with developmental disabilities was emphasized.

The human organism is a complex system whose parts are responsible for certain functions important for human life. The central nervous system is responsible for the functioning of any part of the human organism. All our functions - movement, breathing, feeding, thought processes, speech, perception, etc. they are under the control of the central nervous system. Speech is one of the higher nervous functions that distinguishes us from other living beings. With the help of speech, we express our thoughts and feelings. Through movement, we get to know the world around us and perform the activities we need for life and leisure. Through perception and senses, we get to know the world around us, its structure and texture, heat, colors, tones, tastes and smells. That is, without all these functions, human life would be completely different. However, on the other hand, there are also disorders of these functions that are caused by injuries, diseases and degenerative conditions, namely: aphasia, apraxia and agnosia. The aim of this paper is to theoretically present the disorders aphasia, apraxia and agnosia, the clinical picture of the disorder and its impact on human life, and the subtypes of these disorders
