Abstract:

Distance (online) learning has been one of the biggest challenges for Czech education in the past two years. Although the situation in schools has changed significantly since the spring of 2020, when the epidemic first hit, there is still a certain percentage of pupils who cannot be fully engaged in distance learning. Thus, the limitation of social contacts, together with the online environment, may have contributed to the development of specific types of risky behaviour.

Therefore, our project deals with the issue of prevention of risky behaviour in primary school pupils and changes in pupils' behaviour during distance education during the pandemic covid-19. The main aim of the project will be to find out how distance education during the period of the covid-19 pandemic influenced the development of risk behaviour in primary school pupils and how prevention activities were carried out during distance education. We have also set partial goals which are to find out the impact of distance education on the development and forms of risky behaviours among pupils, how and which prevention activities were implemented and which target groups were chosen and how cooperation with other institutions outside the school took place. Data and information will be obtained from school prevention methodologists, who in the Czech educational system are responsible for methodical guidance and coordination of prevention activities at the school.
