Fictionalization of History in History Teaching
Knitlová, Hana ; Parkan, František (advisor) ; Mikeska, Tomáš (referee)
99 Summary The topic of this Diploma thesis focuses on Fictionalization of History in History Teaching. This area is closely connected with Eduard Štorch. Eduard Štorch was an amateur archaeologist, a very good writer and an undervalued teacher. Based on topics which he drew from a variety of archaeological research projects he created and wrote adventure stories which can be classified as somewhere between fiction and popular science stories in which he described oldest periods of Czech history. His books are still recognised today as the very best of their kind and they have been translated into a number of foreign languages. As a teacher, Štorch did his utmost to improve children's education. At his own expense and almost single-handedly he built a "Children's Farm" on Libeňský ostrov in Prague. It was meant as a place for educating children not only inside a classroom but also in the middle of nature. Children from other schools in Prague were encouraged to use the outdoors facilities there in their free time as well. Eduard Štorch tried to promote and enforce changes in the teaching of all school subjects but concentrated on the teaching of history. For this purpose he published several books such as "The Reform of the History Taught at Schools" (Reforma školního dějepisu; 1905), "The New History"...

Štěpánová, Anna ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Sládková, Hana (referee)
Thesis "Changes in the presentation of teachers in Czech newspapers" explores how teachers have been presented on the pages of Czech newspapers in several phases of Czech history since the "First Czechoslovak Republic". For the purposes of the analysis twelve years and three dates in each year have been chosen. Thesis includes the comparison of the media texts from different years. The narrative analysis has been selected as a method for analysing several prominent Czech newspapers: Národní politika, Národní listy, Rudé Právo, Lidová demokracie, Mf Dnes and Právo. Thesis is divided into three main sections: the first section provides definitions of terms related to the media representation, the second one describes the methods which have been used and the third one is the most important part which contains the analysis. There are changes but also similarities in the media presentation of teachers in the Czech history. The changes occurred mainly in the transitions between these four periods: the First Czechoslovak Republic, Second World War, the period of socialism and the period after 1989.

It is focused on secondary school and high school pupil's knowledge and their personal opinions about this topic. 586 pupils took part in this research. It was found that in the context of evolutionary processes the pupils have problems to use commonly known biological, or evolutionary terms (e.g. adaptation, evolution of the organisms). On the other hand some pupils can easily define some more complicated evolutionary topics such as Neo-Darwinism. Pupils have quite various personal opinions on the issue of the evolution.

Boušková, Marcela ; Kasíková, Hana (advisor) ; Janebová, Eva (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of equal educational opportunities in Finland. Both, Czech and foreign sources as well as my own research data were used for the purpose of this study.
