Possibilities of integrating kinesthetic teaching methods into the plan of education and care in children's group
Petrouová, Lenka ; Kovaříková, Miroslava (advisor) ; Kočí, Jana (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on the significance of use of kinesthetic teaching methods in the annual plan of education and care in children's group. The theoretical part is devoted to basic terminology, the definition of key concepts, such as health and its support in preschool education, and the characteristics of children's groups as a specific form of pre- primary education. The following chapters introduce the age-specific features of preschool age with focus on motor skills. This part closes with a chapter dedicated to the curriculum of children's groups, presenting documents that can be used in the creation of a formal curriculum, the characteristics of kinesthetic teaching methods and the importance of movement with positive development of a child. The chapter dealing with movement and defining the concept of kinesthetics is crucial to the entire thesis. In its introduction, the practical research part represents the objectives of the research investigation, a description of the methodology, characteristics of the interview, research assumptions and an analysis of the school environment of the Sluníčko Children's Group, where the entire work was carried out. This is followed by a presentation of movement activities designed by me, using kinesthetic teaching methods and their evaluation in...

Physiological responses of woody species to urban environment
Petrouová, Lenka ; Lhotáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Lipavská, Helena (referee)
Trees are an important functional element in urban ecosystems. The urban environment has a number of abiotic stress factors for trees and their interactions are based on the overall physiological condition of the trees. Abiotic stress factors include air pollution, space constraints, reduced water availability, increased temperature, and precipitation. In addition to abiotic factors, trees in the city face stressful conditions brought on by climate change, which are increasing in severity and have a measurable impacts on urban tree growth. Climate change is manifested mainly by elevated air temperatures, changes in quantity and distribution of precipitation, and increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This bachelor's thesis is focused on the responses of selected woody species in urban environments and their adaptive abilities in the context of changing climatic conditions. Growth is the main observable response of woody species to environmental changes. In particular, increased growth has been recorded in relation to rising temperature and carbon dioxide levels. Specific differences between woody species in functional parameters can be utilized to improve quality of life in human environments Trees are highly valuable in urban ecosystems and perform a range of functions,...
