Evaluation of lower-secondary chemistry textbooks' visual representations in the topics of acids, bases and neutralisation
Krumlová, Eliška ; Rusek, Martin (advisor) ; Bílek, Martin (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on the analysis of visual components used in chemistry textbooks for lower-secondary schools in the Czech Republic in the topic of acids, bases and neutralization. In the first part, attention is paid to the theory of textbooks, their development, research and the triple representation of visuals in the natural sciences. The following sections describe the objectives, methods and results of the thesis. The aim was to analyse the visual components used in the topic of acids, bases and neutralization in chemistry textbooks for the eighth grade of lower-secondary school. Furthermore, the aim of this thesis was to compare textbooks based on the total number of representation of individual components (quantity and proportions). The performed analysis complements the current overview of the representation of visual components. It was found that Fraus publishing house textbooks have the most represented images in the analysed topic, and on the other hand Nová škola textbooks include the least representation. The analysis further showed that most textbooks contain no sub-micro representations on acids, bases and neutralization. This representation can be found only in the textbooks published by Fraus and in the textbook Hravá chemie (Playful chemistry) published by Taktik....
Constructivism in Organic Chemistry Nomenclature Education
Musilová, Lucie ; Rusek, Martin (advisor) ; Kotoučová, Hana (referee)
Organic chemistry nomenklature is one of the most importatnt matter of chemistry education. Its last change occured in 1993. The available high school chemistry textbooks, which have been analized, deal with nomenclature very briefly. They use the instructive educational approach which is mostly based on deduction. However, it is contrary to the contemporary attitude of education. This is the substantiation for creating the alternative procedure and verifying the availability in practice. This work presents two worksheets that deal with the introduction of the organic chemistry nomenclature. This is the substantiation of creating the alternative procedure and verifying the availability practice. This metodology has been assesed by teachers of grammar schools. Due to the reactions, the material was positively evaluated not only by students but also by teachers themselves. Remarks acquired by piloting were incorporated into the material and can therefore be tested on a larger representative sample.
Issue of creating school curriculum
Rozkydalová, Andrea ; Rusek, Martin (advisor) ; Čapek Adamec, Martin (referee)
1 ABSTRACT: This bachelor's work covers the issue of creating school curriculum (SC). The theoretical part proceeds from the system of curriculum documents and methodology of creating SC. The next part of this work deals with analysis of seven different SC, specifically the part People and nature and Educational subject Chemistry and analysis of characteristics of Educational subject Chemistry. Sample of analysed schools consists of seven elementary schools. With connection to creating SC the next part focuses on articles that deal with this issue in specialist magazines and teachers' opinions about implementing SC into schools. It also includes dialogs with teachers that created SC for their schools. Advantages and disadvantages of implementing SC into schools emerge from these dialogues as well as valuable advices about creating the documents themselves. The conclusion of this work was creation SC for Educational subject Chemistry that is going to be used as a sample for teaching since school year 2014/2015.
Assessing the parameters of quality of chemistry education
Rozkydalová, Andrea ; Rusek, Martin (advisor) ; Beneš, Pavel (referee)
The main scope of this thesis was assessing and evaluation of parameters of quality of chemistry education at secondary and primary schools. In this thesis, there are views at education quality in general connected to the natural science education and specifically chemistry. Then the attention is being paid to the system of curricular documents and standards. Then there are written procedures, description of progress and results evaluation. In this thesis, an evaluation tool was verified during a pilot verification at secondary and elementary schools. A part of this thesis is dedicated to evaluation of individual lessons with the use of evaluation tool. Other possible factors which influence teachers' activity and education quality itself.
Research on Strategies Students Use when Solving Problem Tasks
Koreneková, Kateřina ; Rusek, Martin (advisor) ; Bílek, Martin (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the identification of strategies, which are used by lower-secondary school students when solving problem tasks in chemistry. The strategies were identified during talks with ninth-grade students. The talks conducted by using the Think-aloud method were connected with solution of selected problem tasks. The ascertained strategies were classified as expansive strategies (such strategy can be used to solve more types of problems) and limiting strategies (such strategy can be used to solve easy task, but they can fail when solving more difficult tasks). Furthermore, reader's strategies, which help students to understand the tasks were separately identified. Also, other problems that students had to face when solving the tasks were identified. To identify problematic elements a collection of problem tasks named Metodické komentáře a úlohy ke standardům pro základní vzdělávání - chemie (Methodical comments and tasks for educational standards for elementary education - chemistry) were used. The results showed that when students solved the tasks, which were larger and more difficult, they often used reading strategies, which consist in multiple reading and reading aloud. Some of the expansive strategies the students used consisted in analogous deducing and logical reasoning....
Didactical Equipment of Czech Elementary School Chemistry Textbooks
Šubová, Šárka ; Rusek, Martin (advisor) ; Bílek, Martin (referee)
This thesis deals with the comparison of didactical equipment of Chemistry Textbooks for Basic Schools in the Czech Republic. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the theory of textbooks and their research within it. The next part, which includes comparison of the textbooks, is pursued by the author from the perspective of two methods: the first being The Degree of Didactical Equipment and the second one The Determination of Didactical Criterion. According to the results of this thesis, the Chemistry Textbooks for Basic Schools in the Czech Republic are alike in its didactical equipment. There are similar structural components in each analysed textbook. There were found only small differences between the best didactically equipped textbooks (the textbooks of the publishers Nová škola and Fraus) and those with the lowest outcome (the textbooks of the publisher Taktik), although the time period between publishing the newest and the oldest textbook is more than 25 years. Due to homogeneity of the results and therefore lower possibility of comparing textbooks the method of the Determination of Didactical Criterion was applied. The method does not offer the final account of the most suitable textbook for school education but it presents different view of analysed textbooks, for example the...
