Utilizing an interactive whiteboard to learn verbs in German lesson
Loudová, Veronika ; Nečasová, Pavla (advisor) ; Švermová, Dagmar (referee)
The aim of this master's thesis, "Utilizing an interactive whiteboard to learn verbs in German lesson" is presented in two parts. The theoretical part is devoted to aspects which influence teaching, and therefore the preparation of interactive materials. The practical part is focused on the proposal of activities used on the interactive whiteboard. The theoretical part is divided into three chapters. The first chapter allows us to view the educative process from a psychological perspective, attempting to clarify the importance of relevant styles and strategies used effectively while learning a foreign language. The concern of chapter two is an interactive board and multimedia. Principles which should be followed by educators who are creating teaching materials are also introduced. Furthermore, there are presented internet portals which can be used in German lessons. The last chapter of the theoretical part is dedicated to grammar and the grammatical category - verbs. The practical part is predominantly based on creating your own teaching materials, which are designed to practise German verbs. The activities are split up into two sections (for elementary school and high school). An evaluation of the teaching materials results from survey. They were verified in the educational practice.

Final exam software projects
Beránek, Martin ; Prokýšek, Miloš (advisor) ; Štípek, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with evaluation of quality of high school software projects. Examining the sources, the text describes differences between the projects on a model school and between real world needs. Based on this, it suggests an intervention, in the form of passing materials to members of an action group composed of teachers leading the software projects. The materials supply topics that were not found in the model school's education plan. A methodology for evaluating the projects is suggested, drawing from qualitative indicators used in the real world. An impact of this intervention on the students' projects is evaluated afterwards. The impacts at the model school were not significant. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Effectiveness of organism recognition using angiosperms as an example
Bukáčková, Alžběta ; Janštová, Vanda (advisor) ; Novotný, Petr (referee)
Students are less interested in science studies in this time. Yet, it is evolving and indispensable field (medicine, genetics). Various fields of biology students are evaluated differently. Botany is not very popular for students and often even for their teachers. More popular may be, for example, human biology, zoology and emerging fields such as genetics. Studying of plants isn't interesting for pupils, memories of learning about plants for them often spending hours with the botanical atlas without practical training in the field or on an excursion. There is a reason to writing this thesis about identification of angiosperms in high school. The thesis deals with different methods used for teaching identification of angiosperm plants at Prague high schools and their effectiveness. It compares the different methods used by teachers of these schools, focuses on with ways of testing plants cognition and the number of species that pupils should be able to recognize. The high school teachers' expectations are compared with the university teachers' expectations of the knowledge of incoming biology students. Effectiveness of teaching was tested by recognizing the required species. Students were asked to recognise the fresh plants. The success rate of students of teachers who use to teach different...

Biological and Geological Excursions for second degree of primary school in the Třebíč areas
Popelářová, Monika ; Teodoridis, Vasilis (advisor) ; Skýbová, Jana (referee)
The aim of the presented master thesis is to prepare, realise and evaluate an efficiency of the alternative method of biology (natural history) teaching at second grade of primary school via excursion into natural areas of the Třebíč region. Four field trips dealing with botanical, zoological, geological and ecological focuses were realised. The theoretical part of the thesis is characterised the Třebíč region focusing on several different natural aspects with an emphasis on an interesting natural sites in this region that are suitable for teaching. Specific teaching methods that are useful for field trips are included in this part of the thesis. The practical part described four field trips including methodical instructions for teachers. Other didactic materials and worksheets are added in the appendices. The empirical part contains questionnaires and didactic tests that are used to monitor specific attitudes of 120 pupils from primary schools to teaching of natural, field trips and worksheets. The questionnaire results definitely proved the following: a) the biology (natural history) classes are among the favourite subjects of the 2nd grade primary school, b) most pupils considered the field trips as interesting and informative, c) worksheets are useful but do not enjoy it. Results of the...

Floorball teaching at secondary school
Grešlová, Veronika ; Pokorný, Ladislav (advisor) ; Dlouhý, Martin (referee)
Floorball has gained a lot of popularity recently, mostly owing to its simplicity and affordability. In the Czech Republic, floorball is taught at a majority of school, but its rapid development and lower public awareness might negatively influence a teaching quality of this sport. The thesis aims to analyse possibilities of floorball teaching at secondary schools and assess an attitude of pupils and teachers to it, including an analysis of pupil's knowledge of floorball rules. Considering these findings, floorball teaching model was proposed, practically tested and its benefits was evaluated. 652 pupil's and 19 teacher's questionnaires from 11 secondary school located in Prague was used. Experimental floorball teaching was realized at ZŠ Bohumila Hrabala, where was tested on 2 groups, while other 2 groups were regarded as a control sample. An efficiency of proposed floorball teaching model was evaluated based on a set of proficiency tests that were undertaken in the beginning and at the end of floorball teaching. It was found out that floorball equipment is sufficient at the 64% of examined schools, but dimensions of their gyms are inadequate. Floorball is taught during one tenth of physical education classes on average and a majority of this time is designated to playing matches, which are the...

Methods of teaching preschool children in swimming school
Sobota, Marek ; Svobodová, Irena (advisor) ; Mojžíš, Otakar (referee)
9 RESUMÉ This thesis deals with teaching children swimming, especially its basic stages of mastering basic swimming skills and the basics of swimming. Lessons were drawn up on the basis of the lesson plan in a swimming school in two groups of preschool children. In one group the training began in a swimming pool with a deep floor and in the second group the training began in a swimming pool with a shallow floor. From the sixth lesson, both groups continued in the large pool with a deep floor. The aim of the pedagogical investigation was to evaluate and compare the differences in the achieved level of basic swimming skills. The main aim of this work was to determine which of the two teaching methods are more effective. We found that the group learning in a deep pool achieved higher scores and therefore better mastered basic swimming skills. For acquiring basic swimming skills it is more effective if swimming schools begin teaching preschool children in a swimming pool with a deep floor.
