Physics lesson communication analyzed by means of transactional analysis
Fryčová, Štěpánka ; Kekule, Martina (advisor) ; Snětinová, Marie (referee)
This thesis deals with the analysis of communication in physics lessons from the perspective of transactional analysis. Records of 8 hours of physics teaching were made, where the topics of specific heat capacity and changes of state were discussed. The analysis was performed focusing on games, cross-transactions, ulterior transactions and other problematic communication situations. A total of 23 specific situations with this focus were analyzed. This thesis will serve other future teacher students and for this reason the work contains a more extensive theoretical introduction to transactional analysis and a description of basic concepts in the theoretical part, which are used in the practical part of the work.

Eye movements analysis of students when learning from physics textbooks
Krejčí, Alžběta ; Kekule, Martina (advisor) ; Snětinová, Marie (referee)
The goal of this thesis was to identify indicators suitable for eye-tracking research based on literary research, to assign interpretations to those indicators and to apply them to data. The data used was pre-existing and came from I. Jakubská's research. It contained data from 9 participants. We applied 5 indicators. The results suggest that division between experts and novices or high previous knowledge and low previous knowledge persons is better substituted by division between successful and unsuccessful solvers than it is by division between teachers and pupils, based on the applied indicators of average fixation duration, percentage of fixations of above average duration and regression percentage. Predominant regression type (return sweep vs. backtrack) seems to be an indicator unsuitable for short texts. The order of question assignment can affect values of indicators.

Physics puzzles in extracurricular education
Pechman, Matouš ; Snětinová, Marie (advisor) ; Kekule, Martina (referee)
Title: Physics puzzles in extracurricular education Author: Bc. Matouš Pechman Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Marie Snětinová, Ph.D., Department of Physics Education Abstract: Non-formal education is practically ongoing today. There is a growing demand for leisure activities that will not only offer entertainment as such, but also broaden the horizons of participants in various areas. In their free time, people look not only for rest, but also for new challenges and stimuli, on which they test their skills and ability to respond to new situations. These activities include, for example, escape games. Escape games usually require skill, knowledge and logical thinking to succeed. The game created in this work is composed of physical puzzles. Except one, all puzzles are based on problems that primary school students already face in physics classes. Puzzles combine concepts that were voiced at school with practical examples. Participants can try out for themselves how things work and solve puzzles with the help of physics. The work contains detailed instructions so that potential candidates know how to prepare the game. It also contains a brief physical explanation of the individual physical principles used in the individual puzzles. The game was tested on six groups. Based on...

Physics demonstrations for upper secondary school students - a video study
Nikitin, Alexandr ; Snětinová, Marie (advisor) ; Janík, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Physics demonstrations for upper secondary school students - video study Author: Bc. Alexandr Nikitin Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Marie Snětinová, Ph.D., Department of Physics Education Abstract: Experiment is a key element not only for physics as science, but also for physics education. Even though attention has been lately focused more on students' hands-on experiments, demonstration experiments still play an important role in today's education. Department of Physics Education (Charles University, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics) has been performing physics demonstrations for upper secondary school students for more than 30 years. Seven different topics are currently offered by the Department. A survey conducted on a population of est. 5,100 students showed that the perception of these topics by students varies quite significantly, especially considering their intrinsic motivation and subjectively perceived value and usefulness of a given topic. The questions at hand are whether parameters that influence students' perception in negative or positive way do exist and how they are related to the choice of the experiments themselves or the lecturer's work with the audience. Aim of this thesis is to present a video study conducted on video recordings of all seven...
