Solving of physics problems - development of particular skills
Homolová, Lenka ; Snětinová, Marie (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Irena (referee)
The aim of this work was to prepare activities and identify suitable physics problems that focus on students' abilities to solve physics problems and should help them develop their physical thinking. Four activities are described in this thesis. A teacher's methodical sheet that describes the activity and includes information about the type of developed problem solving skill as well as a worksheet with problems and solution of the worksheet were created for each activity. All worksheets were tested at upper secondary schools. The aim of the research was to find out if teachers and students consider the prepared activities, or more precisely the worksheets, as useful and usable. For the purposes of this research, a case study was chosen as a research method, in which participant observations and structured interviews with students and teachers were the main data for collection sources.

Jungová, Michaela ; Snětinová, Marie (advisor) ; Houfková, Jitka (referee)
Title: Solved Problems in Optics Author: Michaela Jungová Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Marie Snětinová, Ph.D., Department of Physics Education Abstract: Twenty problems in optics were created for electronic collection of solved problems in physics in my thesis. These problems contain detailed structured solutions with solved hints and pictures as well. You can find the problems in the chapter "Geometrical optics" on the website: http://reseneulohy.cz and on the enclosed CD. One of the chapters in my thesis deals with description of the problems. The thesis also engages in thesis engages in the way how to classify the problems using different standards. A proposal of a problem classification, that has been used in during study of both elementary and high school physics textbooks and collections, is presented in the thesis. The goals of this classification were two: to get the picture of school curriculum connected to optical problems and to propose suitable structure of the chapter Optics in the electronic collection, which is in the aboved mentioned electronic collection. Keywords: solved problems, classification of physics problems, electronic collection, optics

Solved Problems in Theoretical Mechanics
Roskot, Michal ; Koupilová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Snětinová, Marie (referee)
The object of the bachelor's thesis was the creation of tasks for "Collection of Solved Problems in Physics". I have created 20 structured tasks on the subject of theoretical mechanics. These are mostly on a university level. I have successfully filled the chapters "The Principle of virtual work" and "Hamiltonian mechanics", which are included in the subject of theoretical mechanics. In order to create the bachelor's thesis it was necessary to get familiar with the web interface of the "Collection". At the same time to create pictures I had to learn to work with a graphical editor. In the text of the bachelor's thesis I characterize the technical solution of "Collection of Solved Problems in Physics", describe advantages of the used structure of the solved tasks and I briefly summarize content of the individual tasks.
