New aspect of student's experimental and laboratory work
Kalina, Stanislav ; Lustig, František (advisor) ; Brom, Pavel (referee)
This diploma thesis builds on results of national and international surveys of mathematical and natural science literacy of pupils. A collection of newly conceived experimental and laboratory tasks has been proposed. The chosen approach consists on heuristic exploration of physical patterns and rules in a virtual environment. In the theoretical part, the problems of using electronic media in education are discussed and several views on the motivation of pupils which affects it are summarized. The learning process and also participation of sensory perception on this are described. In the practical part, the pupils' opinions on the using of ICT in physics learning are surveyed and the selected virtual environment and methodology for the creating of worksheets are described. Further on, the analysis of a case study of the pilot verification of problems has been carried out. The final evaluation of the study has also been performed.

The Influence of Theological and Philosophical Thinking Not Only in the Exact Sciences
Follprechtová, Jana ; Hogenová, Anna (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee) ; Prokešová, Miriam (referee)
TITLE: The Influence of Theological and Philosophical Thinking Not Only in the Exact Sciences AUTHOR: Jana Follprechtová DEPARTMENT: Social Sciences and Philosophy Department SUPERVISOR: Prof. PhDr. Anna Hogenová, CSc. ABSTRACT: This thesis attempts to discover and characterise the interfaces at which the sciences meet and provide incentives for interdisciplinary dialogue. It is not the aim of this thesis to show the need for their fusion into one universal science. The aim is to show that it is important to re-establish communication between scientists with humanities and exact science education, as their results affect our society. Although an analytical method is used in the first chapters, the emphasis in the majority of this thesis is placed on comparison with possible subsequent synthesis. On this basis, the thesis not only examines the philosophy of R. Descartes and the consequences of his thinking today, which stands in opposition to the views of J. A. Comenius, but also the issue of education, which is one of the ways of re-establishing dialogue. All sciences have an ontological basis; thereby they must not only take the concept of creation seriously, but also the anthropic principle. The sciences are united by the limitations of their λογων, which are symbols meant to encourage efforts to review...

The perception of the importance of mathematics and physics by grammar schools students
ZAVADILOVÁ, Šárka
The thesis maps the subjective meaning ascribed to the terms of mathematics and physics by students of secondary schools in České Budějovice. We investigate whether the perception of these tems is influenced by the offer of non-formal education. Main part of thesis is based on research supported by theoretical findings. The theoretical part deals with mathematics and physics in formal and non-formal education, describes the offer of informal education at high schools selected by us and we also describe there the semantic differential method used by us, which is proven in exploring connotative meanings of terms. In the practical part of the work we describe a project of empirical research in detail, the process of data collection and in conclusion, we describe the results obtained.

The Grammar School in Rumburg and its historical development 1906-1989
Šmahelová, Ywette ; Váňová, Růžena (advisor) ; Kasper, Tomáš (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on the Grammar School in Rumburk, its history and education provided there. The town of Rumburk is located in north Bohemia on the border with Saxony. Until 1945 with the population of about 10.000 Rumburk was predominantly a German town. After the end of World War II. majority of German residents were expelled and the town was settled by Czechs from inland. Within few years the town reached the same population as before. The grammar school founded there in 1906 shared the turbulent events with its town including two occupations by foreign armies. During 100 years existence the grammar school has changed its official name fifteen times. With every change of its name came institutional reforms and changes of syllabi as well. And since the Grammar School in Rumburk had to respect regulations of five state departments, the main part of the thesis is preceded by a chapter on grammar schools in Bohemia from their beginnings until 1918.
