Život a sociálně pedagogický přínos J. H. Pest-alozziho

This thesis is focused on social pedagogical work of J. H. Pestalozzi. The text mentions the projects which met the practical usage of his new ideas in connection to the literary works drawn from personal experience. As the time went by, the activities of J. H. Pestalozzi were confronted with rather unfavourable destiny, which can be derived from the change of approach to God who was the inspiration and help to the educator. Later, he found belief in himself. From the chronological point of view, it can be seen that he gradually changed his career goals from social pedagogical to elementary pedagogical by changing his approach to life. He gained many followers and scholars during his life. The reference to his life-work can be also found today, all around the world. The theoretical part is followed by the empirical part which is divided into two parts. The first part covers quantitative methodological research which focused on the awareness of people and their attitude towards charity. The second part covers the analysis of the major work Leonard and Gertrude by J. H. Pestalozzi and its connection to social pedagogy as a heritage for the society. The result of the thesis is a conclusion evaluating the current situation and trying to find an adequate solution for improvement in the examined field.
