Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The issue of compulsory preschool education in the Czech Republic and Slovakia is a topical one as aresult of the obligation to educate children prior to the start of basic school (primary education) beingintroduced over the past five years. The objective of the research whose results are presented in this studyis to ascertain what attitude parents in the Czech Republic and Slovakia have in regard to the compulsoryeducation of their children in the year prior to joining basic school. The research was based on two keyconcepts, specifically the obligation of educating children prior to joining basic school, and attitude as arelatively enduring evaluation of the object to which it relates. We used a scaled questionnaire of our ownconstruction for data collection, administered via a web interface. In applying a Likert scale, a five-pointscale was used, with statements separated into five dimensions. After validation, the research toolcomprised 36 items. Convenience sampling was used to set up the research sample. Data collection wasimplemented in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, with the sample incorporating 337 respondents, each ofwhom had to have at least one child of preschool age. In processing the research data, both core statisticalcharacteristics and a non-parametric Friedman Test were made use of. Calculations were made using theSTATISTICA and SPSS programs. The surveyed parents assessed compulsory education a year prior tojoining basic school as important, they did not see any exceptional change in the life of the family in theimplementation of compulsory preschool education, and they appreciated its benefits for the futureeducational journey of their children. No fundamental differences were recorded between the attitudes ofparents in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The research also showed that it would be useful to look atparents who are not in the mainstream and their children who appear disadvantaged upon joining basicschool through the approach of their parents for further research on this issue.
