Kotrs, Miroslav ; Zicha, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Fapšo, Marek (referee)
The thesis examines the possibilities of using critical thinking methods in teaching psychological topics at the second level of primary school. Critical thinking is a process that helps us to analyse information, make conclusions from it and form our own opinions. It can be used in teaching to support the development of critical and independent thinking in pupils and to promote problem solving skills and critical evaluation of information. Critical thinking can be developed using a variety of methods and text work such as brainstorming, mind mapping, T-charts, or Venn diagrams. Its use can help pupils to better understand the text they are studying, develop their skills and prepare them for future professional and personal challenges. However, the aim of this thesis is to explore how critical thinking methods can be used effectively in the topic of psychology. The practical part of the thesis includes an analysis of eight lessons that focus on psychology topics and use critical thinking methods in their implementation. The teaching of psychology at primary school focuses on psychological functional literacy, applying aspects of experiential pedagogy. The use of critical thinking is linked to the aspects of experiential pedagogy in the lessons prepared, taught and reflected upon. The results show...
