The diploma thesis presents a differentiation and description of various forms of interpersonal interaction with emphasis on cooperation and cooperative behaviour from the perspective of sociology, social psychology and psychology of personality. As the research is focused on preschool children, the characteristic traits of this age are specified, specific methods and forms suitable for the development of cooperative behaviour are described as well as the role of the teacher in this process. Moreover, the aim of fostering cooperative behaviour is linked to the educa?tional purpose outlined in FEP PE and Learning: The Treasure Within (four pillars of education). Furthermore, variables related to individual dispositions in respect to cooperative behaviour are briefly analysed. In the research section of the thesis, activities aiming at fostering cooperative behavior in preschool children are presented and evaluated based on their testing in a pre-school: whether/how they really worked in respect to eliciting cooperative behaviour in children.

The thesis brings out and analyse pedagogy approach to the education by the experience. The theoretical part characterizes basic concepts of the education and the upbringing, experience pedagogy and its parts. The thesis describes historical evolution of experience pedagogy and analyses the basement of pedagogical approach to the experience education. The thesis provides the summary of activities of experience pedagogy that can be used at school during leisure time. The practical part contains the probe of using experience pedagogy activities at schools during the leisure time. The skiing courses were selected for the probe. Teachers in all three courses used the principals of experience pedagogy but their procedures are not well processed according to unfamiliarity with experience pedagogy. The strongest weakness arose at the feedback phase. I researched that the vocational knowledge is essential for children education though positive pedagogical approach. The personality of the teacher is significant point of view because the personality of the teacher is the basement for everything else. According to my research I presume that experience pedagogy approach has great value and will be used more for the education and the upbringing of children and the youth.
