Abstract. School anxiety is one of the situational anxiety types. The feeling of anxiety in school is unavoidable, yet the intensity of this feeling should not exceed each student’s individual “critical point”, as exceeding causes disorientation instead of mobilisation. School anxiety can be expressed in behaviour in the most various forms: from passivity in classes, unsure answers, to “super-diligence”, a wish to do everything perfectly. It is necessary to help students find effective techniques to regulate anxiety, overcome diffidence and other expressions of emotional imbalance. A set of preventive measures must be established, which will help students develop necessary skills for anxiety mitigation and gain successful anxiety overcoming experience. Educational measures regarding this issue are necessary for teachers and parents as well.

AbstractIt can be said that one of the main fundamentals of life welfare is right decision-making. There are no doubts that we would get two different outcomes after choosing right or wrong decisions in decisive moments of life. This takes into account any sphere of life. Speaking about military platform we see that sometimes decisions even in tactical level can make huge impact to strategic levels and this can directly affect life welfare of whole country or even regions. So, right decisions in military are important not only to the welfare of soldiers, but can be also important to peaceful survival of the humanity in various places of the world, speaking in general way. The analysis of scientific literature revealed that during military decision making process officers usually face large number of decision-making factors. Literature analysis revealed three most important factor groups in the military decision making process: psychological, social and situational. The aim of this article is to compare social (Rank, Time of service, Marital status) and psychological (Self – efficacy in General; Self – efficacy in TLP) factors in military tasks. Situational factors will not be part of this study. The main situational factors were included in each military decision making tasks. Research results disclosed, that higher self-efficacy in general appears when main goal of military task is maintenance of LT statehood and sovereignty and given specific military task is mainly blocking. Lower self-efficacy in general appears when main goals are safety of important specific objects that would damage states’ specific spheres like energy, transportation or economy and specific military tasks are disrupting and disturbing. Officers with higher self-efficacy in TLP more often choose successful decisions in nine different specific military tasks. Officers’ higher self-efficacy in TLP is more important to successful decision making than officers’ higher self-efficacy in general.

The article presents the results of the performed research of personal psychological factors contributing to business success. The analysis of these factors was carried out according to three criteria of business success: entrepreneurial motives, entrepreneurial goals, and entrepreneurial resources. The differences in entrepreneurial motives and goals of successful entrepreneurs and beginners have been determined. The revealed personal traits promoting business success are autonomy, self-expression, purposefulness, planning, and self-efficacy.

18 arts therapists from educational and healthcare institutions in Czech Republic were interviewed to determine the specifics of therapeutic practice in educational institutions. The results relate to the presence of different professions in the team, their qualification and level of therapeutic competence, understanding the roles and work of arts therapists, the impact of arts on institutions, the depth of therapeutic change, formulation of therapeutic contract, therapeutic goals, organisation of therapy, the therapy room and privacy and assessments/evaluation.

The present research has been based on the case study. The changes of balance in trunk muscles, body mobility were evaluated during the hippotherapy sessions. During hypotherapy activities such as touching various parts of the horse’s body (e.g. the neck, flank, back) or reaching for an object (e.g. ball or ring), which involves crossing the midline while maintaining appropriate balance and posture are performed. Positive results were set up in isometric grip strength accordingly in right and in left hands 47 and 2 % and functional mobility in 50%. We found out greater EMG of RA, EO, LT and MF muscles in right vs left side during walking, and RA, LT during riding. We presume that increased grasping muscle strength is related with the increased trunk muscle strength and increased ability to maintain upright position

The article deals with teachers’ and parents’ attitudes towards sexuality education of adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities. It is indicated that teachers treat sexuality education as a relevant problem of education of adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities due to pupils and parents’ insufficient knowledge about sexuality education. Informants are particularly concerned about pupils’ active sex life, which often results in early pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. Problems are determined by pupils’ emotional and behavioural problems, lack of social skills, and deepened by the negative impact of the family and environment. During the research, the prevalence of different attitudes of participants of the educational process (parents and teachers) towards sexuality education of adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities in social and educational environment was observed. Teachers state that sexuality education is a relevant problem due to pupils’ early sexual interactions, lack of social skills, emotional and behavioural problems and demonstration of destructive sexual behaviour.

Early childhood education means a sequence of levels of education, where the foundation is the concept of "early childhood.” Early childhood is a foundation for social skills knowledge and advances on the following level of education. The imposition of necessary support measures in the education and care of pre-school process provides successive children with special needs inclusion in next level of education. Qualitative early childhood education and care system development principle is that of making early childhood education available for appropriate needs of children and family. The article main tasks is analyze about statistic of early childhood available, analysis of the theories of early development and early child with special needs inclusion education.

The presented research deals with peculiarities of links between the feeling of inferiority and stress among teachers. Significant distribution of inferiority feeling indicators with regard to age and years of service was identified. Distribution of stress indicators with regard to age is significant. The disclosed significant link between the feeling of inferiority and stress indicators can be explained by mutual interaction: the feeling of inferiority can serve as a source of stress for teachers and, in turn, experienced stress could enhance the natural feeling of inferiority, which is inherent to all.

Participants were 78 students enrolled in a speech-language pathology course, fluency disorders. No significant differences were noted for student competency self-perceptions. However, time-compressed students reported significantly higher levels of course satisfaction and workload difficulty.
