Course objectives

Cílem předmětu je poskytnout studentům kritický rámec pro chápání sociálně patologických jevů, se kterými se mohou setkat u svých žáků a studentů. Tento kritický rámec vychází z teorií sociálních deviací v komplexním bio-psycho-sociálním modelu a z poznatků z mezinárodních výzkumů. Semináře budou probíhat interaktivně na základě analýzy dat z výzkumů (zejména kvalitativně orientovaných), příběhů z médií (například životní příběh teroristy) a vlastní sebezkušenosti (například narativ na téma moje opilecká historka). Jednotlivá témata jsou ilustrována na příkladu skutečných příběhů, které jsou v semináři kriticky interpretovány. Seminář klade důraz na interdisciplinaritu, opírá se o sociologické, filozofické, psychologické a antropologické poznatky a zasazuje je do kontextu pedagogického. Příprava na seminář zahrnuje četbu původních výzkumů v angličtině. Komplexní a kritické reflektování sociálně patologických jevů je předpokladem pro prevenci a řešení sociálně patologických jevů absolventem předmětu ve školním i mimoškolním prostředí.
