The thesis contains a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is written in the form of a literature search from Czech and foreign sources concerning field education in general, intersubject overlaps and specific teaching methods suitable for the outdoor environment. The aim of the practical part was to create a series of summary tasks set in an outdoor environment and then to evaluate some of them in practice. The tasks contain cross-curricular overlaps between Czech language and literature and natural history and are intended for primary school pupils in Key Stage 2. Validation in practice confirmed the positive impact of the proposed activities on the achievement of cognitive goals by 8th grade pupils.

Lacina, Martin Jakub ; Jedličková, Tereza (advisor) ; Teodoridis, Vasilis (referee)
Within the didactics of natural sciences, research on personal attitudes primarily focuses on the attitudes of direct participants in education, namely students and teachers. The opinions of the general public are often overlooked, even though they play a significant role in shaping students' attitudes. As part of a master's thesis, a questionnaire survey was conducted focusing on the attitudes and opinions of the general public towards geological sciences and their education. Additionally, students from the first and second year of secondary school and teachers of natural science subjects, were approached. The collected data was evaluated using selected statistical methods, which allowed, among other things, the comparison of responses from different target groups of respondents. A total of 727 respondents participated in the questionnaire survey (414 respondents from the general public, 201 students, and 112 teachers). The results indicate that the attitudes of the general public are generally positive. Geology is not considered a difficult and boring subject. Despite all three groups rating geology as an unpopular subject, they regard geological sciences as part of general education. Enthusiastic and motivated teachers, mineral and rock samples, field trips, and excursions are considered the...

The beginnings of implementing agricultural topics into the teaching process are described as well. It mentions educational areas in which Czech education system includes agricultural issues. The purpose of the literary section was also to point out and highlight educational programmes that contribute to the rise of awareness, and increase the number of quality resources and materials suitable for teaching agricultural literacy. The appropriate procedures, forms and environments that encourage pupils to be more enthusiastic about diving into agricultural literacy are provided in the conclusion. The practical section of the thesis consists of the questionnaire survey methodology and elementary information about the respondents. The process of creating a suitable questionnaire, utilised to measure the survey, and the subsequent course of the measurement are elaborated in the following chapter. The overall results of the research are presented in the final part of the piece.
