Assessment strategies in Civic education
Kubrová, Barbora ; Dvořáková, Michaela (advisor) ; Fapšo, Marek (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to document the issue of assessment in civic education at an elementary school by conducting a case study. The study was conducted through an in- depth interview with the teacher, a focus group interview with the students, and participatory observation. The collected data was subsequently analyzed using open coding and further interpreted using the ‚card sorting' method. The result is a perspective on assessment from both the teacher's and students' viewpoints compared with observations of specific teaching sessions. The results of this study were evaluated and further discussed from the perspective of the specifics of civic education. Additional potential options for utilizing assessment methods, tools, and techniques were proposed with consideration of the possibilities and goals of the particular teacher. This work can be considered beneficial for other teachers as it contributes to a better understanding of the assessment issues in civic education and offers specific suggestions and recommendations for improving this area. This contributes to enhancing the quality of teaching and supporting further professional development, not only for the author but also for other teachers.

Financial Products in Secondary School Education
Grausgruberová, Romana ; Tichá, Milena (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Michaela (referee)
The thesis deals with the analysis of the teaching of financial products in different types of secondary schools and grammar schools with special attention to the comparison of teaching of this issue. In the theoretical part it focuses on the theoretical knowledge of financial products, their classification and terminology. It explains the different types of financial products, such as savings and investment products, loans and various forms of insurance. The advantages and disadvantages of each financial product are highlighted, with an emphasis on critical thinking in choosing the most appropriate product. The practical part is based on a content analysis of the Framework Education Programme and School Education Programme as a framework for teaching financial products in secondary schools and grammar schools. The research then seeks to answer the question of what teaching financial products looks like in practice. The real situation in teaching is outlined by teachers in the form of in-depth interviews. This focuses on different approaches and methods in teaching, the materials used, the involvement of students' practical understanding, but also on the approach to the topic of teaching financial literacy itself, of which financial products are an integral part. During the research, many...

Gender in Education: Focus on Civic Education
Volejníková, Lucie ; Dvořáková, Michaela (advisor) ; Ondráček, Vojtěch (referee)
The thesis "Gender in Schools with a Focus on Civic Education" deals with the issue of gender in the school environment. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on gender identity, gender stereotypes, gender equality, and the reproduction of gender roles in schools. Special attention is also paid to the personality of teachers and their role in gender reproduction. The significance of their attitudes is analyzed in the chapter on subjective theory. The main research questions I addressed were: What is the attitude of a specific civic education teacher towards the gender topic? How does the attitude of a civic education teacher towards gender issues manifest in civic education teaching and what impact does it have on students? Therefore, the empirical part of the thesis was focused on a case study of a beginning civic education teacher, which I explored through a research probe. To gain a deeper understanding of the research problem, I employed a combination of three methods, specifically semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and focus groups. Keywords: gender, gender stereotype, school, subjective theory, civic education

Design of the methodology of measurement for evaluation of filtration efficiency of portable air cleaners and purifiers
Dvořáková, Michaela ; Bělka, Miloslav (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
This work focuses on the research and comparison of several types of air purifiers. It clarifies the principles of filtration and describes the basic types of air purifiers. Part of this work is designed methodology of measurement for comparison of filtration efficiency and filtration rate. The experimental part of this work contains the measurement and comparison made for two types of air purifiers. Selected purifiers were De’Longhi AC230 with mechanical filters and ionic air purifier Ionic-CARE Triton X6. Within the framework of this work an experimental set-up was constructed in the home environment for the simulation of real conditions for the function of the air purifiers. The measurement results provide information about aerosol number concentration process during the measurements and evaluation of filtration efficiency of air purifiers.

Behavior of concrete at high temperatures
Dvořáková, Michaela ; Bruckner,, Dipl Heinrich (referee) ; Bodnárová, Lenka (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to focus on the resistance of concrete exposed to high temperatures especially with focus of resistance against explosive spalling as well as clarifying the mode of action of various types of polypropylene fibres. The theoretical part is an introduction to the issues of explosive spalling, its mechanisms and majority influencing factors. Further description of the processes taking place in the structure of concrete under extreme thermal load, distribution and size of pores in concrete, thermal load, temperature-time curves and their applications, methods of elimination of negative behaviour of concrete exposed to thermal loading (passive and active methods), mode of action of polypropylene fibres and more is also included in the theoretical part. The main aim of experimental part is to verify the function of polypropylene fibers of various Melt Flow Indexes (MFI) and dosage. Primarily, the test samples with content of the PP-fibers are compared to the reference sample without fibers. Secondarily, the samples with standard PP-fibers (with MFI 25) with dosage 2.0 kg/m3 are compared to samples with modified PP-fiber (with MFI 2500) of dosage 0.9 kg/m3. Photogrammetric images were used for evaluation and comparison of spalled surfaces and its depth. Determination of the softening temperature and melting point of the modified and standard PP-fibers was made by using a high temperature microscope video. The second part of the experimental work was to define concrete permeability at different temperatures and pressures. Permeability was measured at temperatures of 20°C, 90°C, 150°C, 175°C, 200°C, 225°C and 250°C and at pressure of 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 MPa.
