Fauna in local texts and in presentations of water management options for regional education at a primary school in Suchdol nad lužncí (South Bohemia)
MLNAŘÍKOVÁ BINTEROVÁ, Helena
Fauna of Local Flowing and Stagnant Waters from the Point of View of Regional Natural Science Taught at the Primary School in Suchdol nad Lužnicí (South Bohemia). Bachelor thesis. University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, České Budějovice, 60 p. This work focuses on the use of local waters in teaching natural history at the second level of the Primary School in Suchdol nad Lužnicí. The educational program here allows teachers to create their own school curriculum and include in it the subject matter that is related to their surroundings. The work is focused on textbook analysis, on a quick faunistic survey, and on a route proposal for a teaching in terrain. The results could serve as a material for the route design for a possible natural science walk. At the same time, it provides a brief overview of aquatic animals that are found in local waters around the school.

i Title: Support for the Implementation and Explanation of Problematic Physics Experiments in Education at Primary School - Mini Case Study Author: Bc. Aneta Čermáková Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Jitka Houfková, Ph.D., Department of Physics Education Abstract: This thesis aim is to refer and to acquaint with the problem of experiment in natural sciences at primary school. It identifies the obstacles encountered by primary school teachers when they use experiments in the education and it formulates principles that should guide authors of future materials dealing with experiments for primary school to make it easier for teachers to use them in education. After the introduction dealing with the experiment in the curriculum and textbooks for primary education, interviews with 8 primary school teachers follow. Based on the interviews, a material containing 15 descriptions of experiments for primary school was prepared. It is the next part of the work. This is followed by the outputs from the involved teachers' feedback on the basis of which the material was modified and the conclusions and recommendations for other similar materials were formulated. A CD with the thesis text in digital form, recordings of interviews with teachers, photos and videos illustrating the experiments...

Most of the teachers included in my research sample use textbooks mainly for preparation of their lessons, which corresponds with the researches in the Czech Republic presented in the theoretical part of this thesis. As a complementary material used for lesson planning they use the Internet. The theoretical part is divided into four chapters. The findings of the research and the recommendations of the professional literature related to the issue of teacher's choice of curriculum and to the role of textbooks are discussed. The research related to the lesson planning, teaching methods and types of planning for the lesson is analysed and a special attention is given to the usage of various recourses e.g. encyclopaedias and educational software used for lesson planning. One chapter deals with the theory of textbooks and with the research related to their evaluation. The last chapter of the theoretical part is focused on the concept of lesson planning in the Czech Republic and the potential of textbooks usage for teaching of given subject.

Work with teaching assistant is in the beginning for many schools but there are still various problems. This topic is relevant today and it is discussed in both academic field and general public. The aim of this diploma thesis is to define the work of the teaching assistants at the primary school and the partial aim is to find out how the teaching assistants perceive their profession or what they would change. To meet these goals, qualitative research methods were used, especially semi-structured interviews together with the information from the respondent's demographic survey. The interviews were processed using note- based coding and for obtained data analytical induction was used.

Nováková, Zuzana ; Dvořák, Dominik (advisor) ; Starý, Karel (referee)
The study is devoted to assigning teachers into classrooms at primary school. Teacher is important player in education. In general awareness is known term "good teacher by lucky chance", but different participants have different image of a good teacher. Requirements from headmaster, founder, colleagues, students and their parents are too demanding. Quality of teaching depends on preparedness and working strain of the teacher. Assigning teachers into classrooms might be one of the deciding factors of working strain. There are more possible systems of assigning teachers - looping (teacher remaining with a group of students for multiple academic years), stable-grade assignment and grade switching. The study is concerned with theoretical anchor for assigning teachers into classrooms at primary school especially for looping. There is lack of specialized literature about looping (Czech and international as well). The research indicates that there are benefits of looping and advancing a teacher from one grade level to the next along with his or her class. Another part of this study are outcomes of case study of one primary school. In this qualitative study research interviews with present and past headmaster, teachers, students and their parents were performed. Respondents talked about the advantages of...

The theoretical part of the thesis defines basic terms correlated with propedeutics of probability. The practical part of the work pursues intuitive solving of the challenging probability problems, especially of the Monty Hall problem. In the thesis research will be applied: the questionnaire method, tasks including probability problems, (group) work observation and examination of reasoning behind the probability problems followed by interviews with pupils focused on probability misconception phenomena. Findings of this study will be based on collected data analytics and a résumé of pupils' preconceptions about the field of probability and their ability to accept reeducation to their own-made misconceptions. KEYWORDS: Preconceptions, Misconceptions, Probability, Intuitive Ideas, Primary school
