The methodology is intended to provide a framework for the use of open web space as a tool for teaching students at the university level, in e-learning or blended learning courses, and in various disciplines with an active and problem-oriented learning component which is desirable from the perspective of education for sustainable development. The virtual space (Wiki), the so-called "social web", provides an interactive environment and supports social skills such as cooperation, self-expression, and communication. This particular methodology is based on the concept of "academic literacy" where students develop their skills along with the writing process. MediaWiki software was used to stimulate meta-cognitive skills, the organization of the writing process, and critical thinking (with regard to resources); a model for an academic environment was presented there. Instructions available in the wiki support pre-writing, a resource search, the writing of a literature review & annotation, posing a research question, developing of text, and peer review. The method proved to be useful in practice; it provided evidence of student work and the results are available for future generations of students.

Dlouhý, Jiří|orcid:0000-0002-5040-9395|researcherid:I-7566-2014|scopus:56193033400 ; Dlouhá, Jana|orcid:0000-0002-9660-5594|researcherid:I-7773-2014|scopus:55939518800
The methodology for using wiki software in education is available to teachers who want to use wiki software for teaching purposes. It presents the most important characteristics of a wiki environment, deals with the various possibilities for its active use, provides guidance on the use of the existing wiki environment, and on the selection and installation of the software, including its own modules. Special attention is also paid to analyzing the possibilities for the use, passively and actively, of the electronic encyclopedia Wikipedia for educational purposes. The methodology includes the topic of copyright law with regard to the significant systematic underestimation (especially in the electronic environment) of this issue by most teachers. The methodology also explains in detail the use of free copyright licenses, especially the Creative Commons license. The primary form of this methodology is its electronic form in the Enviwiki (see www.enviwiki.cz), where examples of work by students are also located. The methodology is thus freely available to anyone interested in using it, as it corresponds to the philosophy of teaching in an open information space.

Dlouhá, Jana|orcid:0000-0002-9660-5594|researcherid:I-7773-2014|scopus:55939518800 ; Činčera, Jan|orcid:|researcherid:|scopus: ; Jančaříková, Kateřina|orcid:0000-0003-4339-9990|researcherid:H-6002-2011|scopus:56193278900 ; Dlouhý, Jiří|orcid:0000-0002-5040-9395|researcherid:I-7566-2014|scopus:56193033400
The methodology provides a basic framework for university teachers who use active teaching methods and support collaborative student work. In CR, these methods are used rather intuitively this methodology provides an overview of basic pedagogical knowledge and experience that can help their inclusion in education in all fields of study. The methodology deals with the theoretical aspects of group cooperation: processes, relationships, group dynamics, possible barriers and risks that are typical in this method of teaching. It provides an overview of the possibilities of selecting team members, the social assumptions of group work, ways of building trust and methods of facilitating group processes. It briefly discusses the principles for planning project teamwork, tools for assessment of its results, and outlines the specifics of the e-learning environment. Using a teamwork method in e-learning enables one to benefit from all the interactive possibilities provided by the Internet to foster communication and collaborative features in the very process of learning; thus teamwork could help to adjust the e-learning method for the needs of practice.

Naplňování cílů udržitelného rozvoje veřejných vysokých škol v České republice
Horáková, Vladěna
The bachelor thesis deals with sustainable development of public universities in the Czech Republic. The aim of the thesis is to find out how universities are meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to identify their weaknesses in this area based on a comparison with leading international universities and to propose recommendations for improvement. The data were provided in the form of mapping forms by the UNILEAD project and subsequently processed through qualitative research in the MAXQDA program. Analysis of the data revealed that meeting of the goals varied across areas and from a university-wide perspective was mostly in the initiation phase. Through the output of the forms and comparison with leading international universities were identified weaknesses in their operational activities, particularly lack of finance and human resources, lack of strategy and responsible person, and inconsistency. In relation to the weaknesses were proposed recommendations to eliminate them – the establishment of a new position of sustainability manager or sustainability team and drawing up a strategic plan for sustainability. Once these steps are implemented, universities should see improvements in their sustainability performance.

Škanderová, Taťána ; Machovcová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Smetáčková, Irena (referee)
This master thesis investigates how student identity of college students whose parents do not have university degree is constructed and further developed. The aim is to find out what meanings, factors, resources, actors and identities enter and influence the process of building and developing their student identity. It focuses on turning points, which are accompanied by a change in their own identity and uncertainty in their own social and cultural world. The theoretical part of the work is focused on defining and describing the specific characteristics of college students with parents without a college degree, the problem of a deficit perspective on them and the specifics of first-generation students in more prestigious fields of study. The following sections deal with social and educational inequalities from a historical point of view in the Czech context and from the point of view of critical social psychology. The conclusion is devoted to identity, which is viewed from three theoretical perspectives, namely from the perspective of social identity theory, from the perspective of social constructivism, and from the sociocultural developmental perspective on identity changes. In the empirical part, repeated semi-structured in-depth interviews and photo diaries were used to collect data. The...

Professional training of pre-service teachers of biology in the field of scientific skills
Nejedlý, Adam ; Veteška, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Svobodová, Zuzana (referee)
In many cases, understanding the nature and validity of information presented on the basis of scientific knowledge is essential for application in contemporary society. Similarly, in line with the rapidly developing fields of science, technology and engineering, it is necessary to have enough competent people prepared to work in these areas. Consequently, scientific skills appear to be an essential component of scientific literacy, the development of which is the focus of pupil education in many countries. Teachers' attitudes towards the importance of scientific skills play a crucial role in pupils' education, as perceptions of their importance are the starting point for conveying their relevance to pupils and subsequently for their development. It is also important that teachers feel competent enough to teach these skills. A prerequisite for this is that they receive good and sufficient preparation in teacher education. The aim of the research was to characterize the professional training of biology teachers in the field of scientific skills. A content analysis of the annotations and syllabi of the courses in the study programmes was carried out. To determine attitudes, a questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate students' perceptions of the importance, self-competence, and higher...
