The dissertation focuses on the analysis of support measures in the education of pupils with special educational needs. The main area of the study is to increase the time allowance for the work of pupils with specific learning disabilities, which is one of the most frequently chosen forms of support for these pupils. After presenting the theoretical basis of the study, the research itself is presented. The research is a quantitative analysis of the performance of 9th grade elementary school students. The research group included pupils with SPU (N = 31) and intact pupils (N = 188). The students worked on the I-S-T 2000 R Intelligence Structure Test and their performance was statistically processed. Pupils with SPU had 25% more of time for work available than intact pupils, but they were also evaluated in basic time. We worked with their performance in the form of gross scores (that is correctly filled in items), the gross scores were not converted into intelligence quotients. Statistically significant results were found in the following areas. Pupils with SPU performed statistically significantly better within their group in all evaluated scales and subtests if they worked with increasing time (than in basic time). When we are evaluating the difference between pupils with SPU and an intact group of...

The Abstract Title: The reintroduction of children with specific learning disabilities to a traditional classroom in primary schools after distance education: teacher and parent point of view Objectives: The main goal of this thesis is to evaluate the effectiveness of remote education, focusing particularlyon specialized primary school students diagnosed with a specific learning disability.

The Master's thesis focuses on the academic development of students with specific learning disorder studying at the Faculty of Sciences at the University of South Bohemia. In particular, the thesis discusses the analysis of individual BA study programmes, where difficulty of the studies and the amount of workload are observed. The conclusions drawn from the thesis will be further utilised in a more general research project conducted by "GA JU". The first part of the thesis presents the theoretical background to specific learning disorders (henceforth "SPU"), their categorisation, symptoms, diagnosis and re-education. Emphasis is pit on their manifestations and diagnosis not only in childhood, but also in the high-school and university environment at the time of adolescence. Furthermore, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is discussed, also including manifestation in adulthood. The author further analyses university education in the Czech Republic with emphasis on the University of South Bohemia (henceforth "JU"), its history and individual faculties. The empirical part of the thesis is devoted to the analysis of BA study programmes offered by the Faculty of Sciences. The analysis focuses on compulsory as well as restricted elective subjects included in individual study programmes. The attached tables present the amount of credit exams and Zk+ (both credit and an exam) and the requirements necessary to pass the subjects in individual semesters throughout all years. It is from these requirements that the assigned workload is derived, which is then compared to the theoretical knowledge and needs of the students suffering from a specific learning disorder that affects them during their university studies.
