The bachelor thesis is focused on computer literacy impacts on seniors ´ life. Old age and seniors are often discussed topic. The old age isn´t considered as a popular phase of life. Seniors stand on the edge of society with a low social status. Society is still focused on performance, flexibility, agility and power. Weakness in any form is judged in a negative way. There is not enough space for the old age and seniors in society. The main goal of this work is to learn if computers and computer literacy can influence senior´s life positively and if it can cause a change in social exclusion. This goal should have been achieved through quantitative research. The partial goal is to find out wishes and feelings of seniors in the area of networking, which is a practical activity doing on computer. The thesis is focused on seniors living in Pilsen at the age from 65 to 85 years old who finished or were finishing computer course while research. The thesis is divided into two parts theoretical and practical. The theoretical part tries to express and describe the old age phase, especially changes comming with this age. It deals with the term of "senior" and with situations typical for this phase of life. It also deals with term of "information" and working with them. It also tries to express the computer literacy definition. Additionally, this work also deals with education of seniors and its specifics, also with its tools to make the education effective. The theoretical parts finishes with description of computer courses accesibility in Pilsen. The possibilities how to apply computer skills are mentioned there, too.

In the period 2005-2010 the Czech Republic has exhibited a growth in computer and Internet usage across society. As is to be expected from the literature, younger generations, especially what has been termed Generation Z, show significantly higher levels of computer literacy than older generations. Computer literacy is also at the highest level among the most highly educated and among households with children. Government policies to increase computer literacy have had positive effects, however they have only been a partial success. All schoolchildren have access to computers and the Internet, however there have been no effective policies for increasing computer literacy among the adult population. The result of this lack of policy is that the Czech Republic, in a position common to much of Europe, failed to meet the challenges of the Lisbon Strategy and will likely fail to meet the targets of Europe 2020.

This thesis deals with the analysis of computer literacy of the middle-aged population. There are analyzed the basic terms related to this issue. There is also presented the information society development. Just the term information society is closely related to computer literacy, through which people are able to access new information sources. The level of knowledge varies with age and education of the population. The middle-aged people who are subject of this thesis could not acquire computer skills during their school education, and therefore they are at risk of information divide. This thesis outlines the possibilities of increasing computer literacy including its certification. The practical part deals with the field survey in which respondents answered the questions derived from the ECDL tests, so it was possible to decide on level of their knowledge. Computer literacy is important for the economic prosperity of society, and therefore it is necessary to analyze its status and look for possibilities of its improvement.

Budování informační společnosti je běh na dlouhou trať. Poprvé se o elektronizaci veřejné správy v České republice začalo jednat již v devadesátých letech minulého století. Od té doby bylo uskutečněno mnoho kroků, od změny zákonů, které staví elektronickou komunikaci na úroveň té běžné, až po elektronizaci papírových dokumentů. Informační společnost zahrnuje mnoho součástí. Jednou z nich je eGovernment, tedy elektronická komunikace mezi úřady veřejné správy a občanem nebo firmou. Jde také o efektivní spolupráci napříč jednotlivými úřady a budování vztahu mezi veřejným a soukromým sektorem. V této diplomové práci bych chtěl zhodnotit stav eGovernmentu v České republice, popsat jeho silné a slabé stránky a srovnat ČR s ostatními zeměmi evropské unie. Nejdříve se věnuji pojmu eGovernment jako takovému a jaké přináši jeho zavedení výhody, ale i problémy. Následně popisuji stav informační společnosti v České republice a v poslední kapitole se srovnávám Českou republiku s ostatními státy evropské unie.

Computer literacy has recently emerged as a new topic, complementing traditional literacy. While this issue affects every one of us, it is particularly important for people of post-productive age, who have not been able to become acquainted with information technology during their professional life. The National Computer Literacy Program provided a great opportunity to eliminate this illiteracy; unfortunately it came to an end together with termination of the Ministry of Informatics of the Czech Republic. It is striking that the State has been preparing projects in the area of e-Government, electronic census and electronic elections without having any developmental strategy for users of these ambitious projects. An opportunity to improve personal skills after the end of a professional career is provided by the University of the Third Age at the University of Economics, where students learn to use not only computers, but also the multimedia in the Graphic and Multimedia Laboratory. Unfortunately, this university is not accessible to everyone. The limitations consist particularly in the precondition of completed secondary education, but also in the available capacity. Thus, an option that is really available to everyone lies in the commercial sector, which offers a wide range of courses. These courses are provided either by software companies or by the ECDL (European Computer Driving License).

Annotation This diploma thesis in its theoretical part sums up didactic approaches which serve as a starting point for designing teaching methods and suitable presentation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to primary school children. The thesis deals with the impact ICT has on the development of pupils´ personalities with regard to innovative educational processes which are now at work in our schools. The thesis wants to propose and prove possible and useful approaches to ICT teaching at primary schools based on research in the current state of ICT teaching and in the computer literacy of pupils and on teachers´ own ``best experience{\crqq}. The hypothesis was that pupils in ICT lessons are able to work in pairs effectively and that the one with better knowledge of computers can help and give advice to the less experienced one in the pair. In the practical part of the thesis computer literacy of pupils in second and third grades of primary schools is checked with help of a questionnaire. On the basis of selected didactic approaches and analysis of the questionnaire answers a dyadic teaching method was designed and proved in practice. The use of dyadic method is one of possible ways to reach optimal results in ICT teaching at primary schools. The thesis proposes a teaching plan for a third grade of primary school. This teaching plan, effectivity of which was checked in practice and the outcome analysed, can serve as an inspiration for beginning teachers and help them to design their teaching plans for ICT lessons or for employing ICT in other subjects.
