This thesis analyses delinquent behaviour of children and teenagers and the content of the activity of social pedagogues. The hypothesis proposed in this thesis is that the members of society have little information about delinquent behaviour of children and content methods of the activity of social pedagogues as well as the structure of their work with delinquent children. A questionnaire has been used, the purpose of which is to analyse community approach to the content of the activity of social pedagogues who work with delinquent children from the perspective of the community members. Analysis of delinquent behaviour of children and teenagers and the content of the activity of social pedagogues includes systemic, comparative and logical analysis and synthesis of scientific literature. The data of research is collected via questionnaires and interviews. When analysing the data, the opinion of respondents is analysed using systemic, comparative and logic analysis and synthesis, conclusion of tables and graphic representation as well as statistical methods. There were 217 participants in the quantitative research, parents of children attending school and 4 social pedagogues, who work in school and were questioned on the interview. The most important conclusions of empirical research: 1. The survey conducted during the research determined that parents of children who attend school know the main factors determining the prevalence of delinquent behaviour. They, however, do not have enough information about the motives of such behaviour, forms of behaviour, circumstances, and sometimes delinquent behaviour is confused with criminal behaviour. 2. In conclusion, it can be said that every activity of social pedagogues, which attempts to direct the process of social education of a child in the course favourable to society, must be first based on interests of a child. The most important condition is to recognise and realise problems of a child and attempt to eliminate those problems or to mitigate their effect and offer a child what is the most needed for him and what could motivate and encourage him/her to live in a different way. |
