Kronovetrová Fingerová, Markéta ; Doležalová, Eliška (advisor) ; Komberec, Filip (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of integrated teaching of Czech language in lower secondary School. Its aim was to find out the possibilities and limits of the implementation of this teaching. The data were collected through action research at Na Rohu1 Primary School where the author of this thesis taught three eighth grades' classes for whole year. For more than a year she designed lessons for these classes based on the principles of integration of the components of the Czech language, constructivism, and the communicative principle. These are documented and reflected in this thesis. A secondary goal of this thesis was to observe the possibilities of conducting independent action research in mainstream settings and at a regular elementary school where it could become a means of professional development for teachers. The theoretical part of this thesis is based on the chapters dealing with the mapping of different conceptions of Czech language teaching and the current situation in the Czech Republic and abroad. These are followed by chapters dealing with the principles that were used to determine the principles for the development of individual lessons. Attention has also been paid to the description of the principles of action research. Czech and foreign sources were used. The bulk of the...

Cross-curricular relations in the teaching of the czech language and literature and history in the 9th grade of upper secondary school
Olšavská, Marcela ; Komberec, Filip (advisor) ; Starý, Karel (referee)
This master thesis deals with the issue of cross-curriscural relations of the Czech language and literature and history in teaching in the 9th grade of upper secondary school. The first objective was to explore the current state of the concept of interdisciplinary relationships between these subjects in the Framework Educational Program for Elementary Education, selected School Educational Programs and selected teaching materials. The second objective was to to propose the possibilities of purposeful application of intersubject relationships of the studied subjects in teaching. The research consists in the analysis of the Framework Educational Program for Elementary Education, the School Educational Programs of nine selected schools and didactic material in the form of a history textbook, workbook, and teacher's guide, as well as a Czech language textbook, workbook, and teacher's guide, and finally, a reader and its accompanying teacher's guide. The research indicates that although School Educational Programmes are based on the Framework Education Program for Elementary Education, the concept of interdisciplinary relationships is not the same in all programmes. Similarly, the application of interdisciplinary relationships within didactic materials is highly variable. In the final part of the...

Interdisciplinary relationships in the educational areas of Human Biology and Mathematics at Lower Secondary Level
VAVRUŠKOVÁ, Radka
The main target of the diploma thesis was the creation of worksheets on the topic of intersubject relationships of natural history and mathematics, which focus on 6 topics. The worksheets link the 8th grade science curriculum - human biology and mathematics. The other target is to enable students to adopt learning strategies and to motivate them. Encourage students to think creatively, think logically and solve problems. The didactic target of the worksheets is the acquisition, deepening and consolidation of the subject matter and the involvement of intersubject relationships. Worksheets and created questionnaires are used in three primary schools for a total of 91 students, of which 49 are boys and 42 are girls. Eight research questions were asked: Do the overall evaluations of the worksheets differ between individual groups of students? Yes. The results of the tests of primary school students (pilot study) were not included in the comparison. The overall percentage evaluation of the two groups of ES2 and one group of ES3 practically did not differ (about 40 %). The difference in the average values of the results of two parallel groups of ES3 was calculated as statistically significant (p = 0.034). Are overall worksheet grades correlate statistically significantly with report card grades? Yes. The correlation coefficient in group B1 was -0.817 for girls, boys had a correlation of -0.892. In group B2, the correlation for boys is -0.765, for girls it is 0.141 (exception from the observed trend, statistically insignificant relationship). Group C1 correlation result for girls is -0.833 and for boys -0.990. In the last group C2, the correlation is -0.811 for boys and -0.962 for girls. Does the student's estimate of points obtained as a percentage correlate positively with the actual grade? Yes. In (ES1) group A1 correlation 0.569, group A2 correlation 0.664. School (ES2) group B1 correlation 0.489, group B2 correlation 0.555. School (ES3) group C1 correlation 0.854 and group C2 correlation 0.382. There is a positive correlation here. Which areas cause the students the biggest problems and which ones do they manage best? Students had the biggest problem when preparing the worksheets with the range of questions from the topic of the digestive system and anthropometry, on the contrary, they coped best with the topic of axial symmetry. To what extent do the students know the concept of intersubject relationships? 36 % of students know the concept of intersubject relationships, but do not encounter them in lessons. Would students like more cross-curricular connections in maths and science lessons? Only 11 students out of a total of 91 answered that they would like more cross-curricular connections in maths and science lessons. In the opinion of the students, can the teacher include inter-subject relationships in the teaching? He can, but only in some subjects. What is the popularity of the subjects with students (is it important to motivate and activate students)? The average popularity score for mathematics from all schools is 3.5 and for science 3.1. The feedback showed that most students found the worksheets difficult, some praised the interesting connection between mathematics and science. The feedback from the teachers was generally positive, some suggested division into smaller units always related to the discussed topic, which also corresponds to the idea of the author of the work, which could not be fulfilled for organizational reasons.

Influence of animations on pupils' motivation and academic achievements in Science education
Šarboch, David ; Teplá, Milada (advisor) ; Martínek, Václav (referee) ; Ganajová, Mária (referee)
The dissertation deals with the influence of interactive educational animations on the motivation and academic achievements of pupils. Currently, student motivation in teaching is a much discussed topic (Ikwuka et al., 2017). The authors of many studies, as well as the creators of national curricula, declare that it is necessary to focus on the transition from traditional teaching methods (eg. frontal teaching) to methods that activate pupils. At the same time, we are currently observing the low popularity of science subjects among primary and secondary school pupils (Szarka et al., 2014). Therefore, it is advisable to come up with methods that, on the one hand, create an interactive environment in which students can develop their knowledge, skills and competences, and on the other hand, interest and motivate students to further work. Thus, the main goal of the dissertation is to find out how animation affects the motivation and academic results of secondary school students (especially in science subjects). A didactic tool that could help fulfill these facts is educational animation. The majority of authors who deal with the issue of educational animations agree on the positive contribution of their use in classes in many aspects, however, there is currently a lack of research that has dealt with...
