An Overview of physicogeographical regionalisations and an analysis of their representation in Geography textbooks for secondary schools Abstract At present there is a large number of various regionalisations which concern the classification of the biosphere. The aim of the thesis is to develop an overview of the regionalisations of the physicogeographical sphere in the individual constituent spheres of physical geography. Firstly, the thesis provides an overview in terms of the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and pedosphere. The second part contains an analysis of secondary school Geography textbooks with respect to the occurrence of regionalisation of physicogeographical spheres. The analysis is based on 3 selected criteria. The first criterion is the frequency of occurrence of the very term itself and its more precise definition. The second criterion examines whether textbooks contain graphical demonstrations of the analysed terms in a map. The third criterion enquires whether the stated terms related to regionalisation are interconnected and put into perspective with other spheres. According to the results of the analysis, the highest-scoring textbook is "Geografie I., fyzickogeografická část (2012)". As for the representation of individual regionalisations in the physicogeographical...
Teaching of Atmospheric Sciences within Geography
Trtková, Jana ; Müller, Miloslav (advisor) ; Hátle, Jan (referee)
Teaching of atmospheric sciences within geography Abstract The concepts of meteorology and climatology have become increasingly sought-after by many people. Their popularity probably stems from everyday experience with weather and climate along with discussions about climate change and sustainable development, which all have an impact on our lives. This is also one of the main reasons why they should be included in the curricula of our educational institutions. This paper investigates the representation of climatology and meteorology in school curricula, describing the expected outcomes thereof. A survey was conducted, which implies that 78% of respondents do not include these disciplines in their curricula (SVP) and 48% are dissatisfied with the systems of RVP and SVP. The time scheduled for teaching of meteorological and climatological topics is eight hours on average. During these lessons teachers most often discuss the issues of greenhouse effect, atmosphere and ozone. The curriculum generally lacks a practical approach to the subject matter, which is essential for the skills and future lives of students. The next sections of the paper suggest several information sources that could potentially be used in education. The last part is devoted to dialectical aspects of education. It emphasizes the...
