Demonstrating set of electric circuits
Kohout, Václav ; Koudelková, Věra (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Irena (referee)
The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to develop a demonstration kit for teaching electrical circuits at lower secondary school. The thesis briefly discusses the necessary parameters of the demonstration set depending on the content of the curriculum taught in lower secondary school. The criteria used in the selection of a physical aid are also mentioned. These are applied in the search of existing demonstration kits applicable in school physics. The thesis further describes in detail the development of individual components and summarizes the definitive version of the kit developed by us. The work considers the experience of testing the developed set in the teaching of physics at lower secondary school - with an emphasis on the elimination of identified shortcomings. The work provides suggestions for the use of the developed set in teaching physics at lower secondary school.

Construction of measuring instruments
Nauš, Jaroslav ; Koudelková, Věra (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Irena (referee)
This bachelor thesis' aim is the verification of instructions for constructing simple measuring instruments (i.e. barometer, hygrometer, force gauge, hydrometer and galvanometer) and their correction and improvement. It reviews the possibility of using these instruments in teaching - in laboratory classes, as homework or in distance teaching. This thesis, therefore, also includes worksheets for activities with constructed instruments for primary and secondary school pupils.

Development of experimental sets for a new conception of Optics in the Interactive Physics Laboratory I
Kopřiva, Tomáš ; Kácovský, Petr (advisor) ; Koudelková, Věra (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to create five experimental units and worksheets for an experimental set called Optics: Qualitative approach in the Interactive Physics Laboratory - a project of the Department of Physics Education. The Interactive Physics Laboratory is shortly described in the first chapter, along with information about the course of experimenting in it and feedback we receive from attendees. The second chapter is focused on theoretical background about geometrical optics, the human eye, the sight and selected misconceptions about optics and sight. The experimental units were based on this theoretical background. The development (including feedback from students) of the experimental units and related worksheets as well as the final form of the experimental units and their worksheets can be found in the third chapter.

Electricity and magnetism: Hands-on minds-on approach
Koudelková, Věra ; Dvořák, Leoš (advisor) ; Kireš, Marián (referee) ; Richterek, Lukáš (referee)
Title: Electricity and magnetism: Hands-on minds-on approach Author: Věra Koudelková Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: Doc. RNDr. Leoš Dvořák, CSc., KDF Abstract: The PhD. thesis is focused on high school students' understanding of electricity and magnetism and on experiments which can help students to develop this understanding. The thesis can be divided into two parts: In the first research part typical misconceptions of high school students in the area of electricity and magnetism are described, both misconceptions known from foreign literature and results of Czech Conceptual Test of Electricity and Magnetism. This test is based on the known Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism, but unlike it and other conceptual tests in electricity and magnetism this new Czech test is intended for high school students. The second part of the thesis is developmental. It contains methodical materials, lab works and experiments which partly arise from the discovered misconceptions. In this part of the work four learning sequences (we chose topics, which were identified as problematic for students), four laboratory works and 13 experiments are described. Prepared materials were verified during instructions in high school and during conferences for physics teachers. Experiences with them are...

Solved Problems in Physics for Electronic Collection - Alternating current
Pfefrčková, Michala ; Koupilová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Koudelková, Věra (referee)
Title: Electronic Collections of Solved Problems in Physics - Alternating current Author: Michala Pfefrčková Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Zdeňka Koupilová, Ph.D. Supervisor's e-mail address: zdenka.koupilova@mff.cuni.cz The main aim of this diploma thesis was to prepare a set of specialized tasks in Physics. These tasks are supposed to contain comprising structured hints leading to solution of the given examples. The set is implemented in the e-collection posted on http://fyzikalniulohy.cz. This set includes 25 tasks mostly targeted on high schools students. It supplies them with additional tasks for effective study suitable even for university students, starters, as a revision. The other part of the thesis contains a syllabus of alternating current study and the organization of the tasks how to use them to illustrate clearly the particular physical terms. Keywords: alternating current, structured tasks, e-collection, syllabus

Teaching-learning activities from thermal physics at different school levels
Kopřiva, Tomáš ; Koudelková, Věra (advisor) ; Kácovský, Petr (referee)
Title: Teaching-learning activities from thermal physics at different school levels Author: Tomáš Kopřiva Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Věra Koudelková, Ph.D., Department of Physics Education Abstract: This bachelor thesis focuses on demonstrating how the pupils' understanding of concepts from thermal physics develops over their studies at primary schools and secondary schools at three levels. Laboratory work materials for pupils are also available for each concept and experiments are demonstrated on videos. Keywords: thermal physics, experiments, Framework Educational Programmes

Different levels of inquiry in physics experiments
Fürstová, Tereza ; Kácovský, Petr (advisor) ; Koudelková, Věra (referee)
The thesis is focused on four levels of the Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE). The first chapter describes IBSE in detail and also highlights the studies focused on the efficiency of IBSE. Pendulum and hydrostatic pressure experiments worksheets were created on the four levels of IBSE. A questionnaire reflecting some aspects of students' personalities were created and students were split into groups according to their answers. Another questionnaire about experiments and understanding of the physical phenomena was created. The central theme of this thesis focuses on the students' activities while they were working on the created worksheets. First year students from high school experimented following the created worksheets and they were recorded on the video during their work. We used codes to describe and differentiate the activities in the videos and we studied their distribution afterwards. From the recordings we then obtained information about the students' activities during experimentation at different levels of IBSE.
