Media Education at secondary technical schools in Liberec region
Poláková, Kristýna ; Hodboď, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Wolák, Radim (referee)
I Abstract This thesis' main theme is media education at secondary technical schools in Liberec region - SPŠ a VOŠ Liberec, SPŠ stavební Liberec a VOŠMOA Jablonec nad Nisou. The theoretical part defines media education, media literacy and digital literacy. The thesis presents materials which serve as the main source for creating the school education programme (ŠVP) for different specializations. Three methods which can be used while teaching media education are also described - cooperative learning, discussion and inquiry-based learning. In the practical part six teachers from three different schools were interviewed. These interviews showed that no school offers media education as a separate subject in the school year of 2023/2024, even though the respondents consider it to be important. The biggest issues with creating a separate subject seem to lie in insufficient time options and insufficient teacher qualification. Each interviewed teacher focuses on media literacy differently during their lessons: some analyse texts, some oral speech, some practice using different sources and their citations.
The influence of the Media on the Lifestyle of Teenagers
Richterová, Karolína ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Lütke Notarp, Ulrike (referee)
This thesis examines the impact of media on adolescents' lifestyles, more specifically on two aspects of lifestyle, namely physical activity and sleep. Within the Covid-19 pandemic period, individuals were forced to stay in their homes, and all their social contact, as well as school and work obligations, shifted to the online environment. With this, screen time also increased, as did the associated sedentary behaviour. As they were all forced to be isolated, sports and leisure activities were also very limited or often also transferred to the online environment. The aim of this thesis is therefore to try to define the habits of adolescents in terms of physical activity, sleep and media consumption, and how these aspects are interconnected, and whether adolescents perceive this interconnection. The aim was also to provide some education to the individuals, where they were then confronted with recommendations for particular aspects of lifestyle (sleep and physical activity), but also recommendations regarding media consumption. As lifestyle was strongly influenced by the Covid-19 disease pandemic, the aim was also to see how individual students' habits changed within this period, but also afterwards. Within the framework of this work, qualitative research was conducted. Using in-depth interviews...

By combining these two methods, it is able to provide a comprehensive picture of the influence of chain emails. Finally, the findings of both analyses are linked to a common conclusion that will present the influence of emails on voters.

Media as a topic of history classes
Leciánová, Martina ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
Mediální výchova jako téma hodin dějepisu - Abstract Bc. Martina Leciánová This work deals with the topic of media education as a topic in history classes. Its aim was to find out whether the Framework Education Program (FEP) deals with this issue and, on the basis of it, to find out to what extent it appears in the literature itself. The work consisted of a quantitative analysis of the mentioned documents falling under the Ministry of Education and Culture and history textbooks for the 9th grade. Part of the output was also the proposal of a methodological tool for facilitating the teaching of media education in the history class, which was created on the basis of interviews with history teachers. The results show that the RVP does not officially recognize this possibility of teaching, but media education as such appears in textbooks in limited quantities, and even the interviewed teachers stated that they perceive media education as part of history education. The proposed methodical tool is a database that would contain sources and resources that can be used in class to save time for teachers in preparation. The database could work through the mutual cooperation of individual teachers. So-called "from them for them".
