The purpose of the graduation thesis was to analyse different methods of knowledge examination of theoretical and practical knowledge of candidates, who decided to obtain a title Alpine ski instructor at the level I, II, or III. In the graduation thesis, we determined dynamics in changing of the number of applied candidates in regard to number of personnel courses in individual seasons in the period from 2006 to 2016. We were also interested in successfulness or number of examinations, as well as participation and successfulness in the exams in regard to gender.
In the introduction of the theoretical part of the graduation thesis, we primarily used lists of rules that are a basis of organization and implementation of courses prior beginning of each ski season. The research part of the graduation thesis is based on the data obtained using Špak (Sport Amateur Personnel) web application.
We established that the methods of examination as well as training courses underwent content and organizational changes through the period of ten years. Up to the ski season 2010/2011, the candidates took theoretical and practical examination as a part of the personnel course. After introduction of the regionally centralized examinations, both, theoretical and practical examinations took place at predetermined times. In the season 2014/2015, central theoretical lectures were introduced for obtaining the title Teacher at the level I, which means a more unified communication of theoretical knowledge to all candidates.
We established that a number of courses varies from season to season, therefore, we cannot determine a sample of increasing or decreasing the number of courses per individual season. In the field of alpine skiing, in ten ski seasons, 912 female candidates applied for level I, while 1468 male candidates applied for the same level. At the level II, there were 354 female and 716 male candidates. At the level III, there were 59 female and 183 male candidates. In the first seasons, the candidates were considerably more successful than later, as they passed the exam in less tries, and also a number of successful candidates was higher. The least successful season at the level I and III was the season 2011/2012, and the season 2013/2014 was the least successful at the level II. According to the obtained data, gender does not influence a successfulness at the level I, while at the level II and III males were slightly more successful in the last seasons.
