Comparison of mathematical problem solving strategies of primary school pupils
Wasilewská, Eliška ; Jirotková, Darina (advisor) ; Kloboučková, Jaroslava (referee)
The aim of this dissertation is to describe the role of educational strategy especially in field of the teaching of mathematics and to compare the mathematical problem solving strategies of primary school pupils which are taught by using different educational strategies. In the theoretical part, the main focus is on divergent educational strategies and their characteristics, next on factors affected teaching/learning process and finally on solving the problems. The empirical part of the dissertation explores the effect of educational strategy on problem solving strategies of third graders of primary school by using the method of experiment that includes a didactic test and interviews with selected pupils. The result of the dissertation is providing the evidence of influence of educational strategy on mathematical problem solving strategies. KEYWORDS Educational strategy, teacher, pupil, mathematical problem solving, experiment.

Characteristics of Different Teaching Styles on the Example of Two Secondary Mathematics Teachers
Pelcová, Kateřina ; Vondrová, Naďa (advisor) ; Kvasz, Ladislav (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to describe teaching styles of two secondary mathematics teachers with very different approaches. One of them represents traditional frontal instruction and one prefers students to be more actively involved in the learning process. Their styles are compared based on their teaching a concrete mathematical topic, namely plane analytic geometry of lines. Examined teaching styles (frontal instruction and so-called realistic education) and selected research with a similar focus are described in the theoretical part of the thesis. The research consisted of observations in lessons of both teachers and a final test for their students. The acquired data has been analyzed by qualitative and quantitative methods. The teacher representing traditional frontal instruction emphasizes practising and explaining the new topic. Problems are solved by herself or one chosen student on the blackboard. Questions, which she is asking, require mainly short answers and are focused on reproduction of the previously learnt knowledge. During the lessons of the teacher who is the creator and also an exponent of the so-called realistic education, students are solving problems independently. New topics are discussed collectively, the teacher often asks questions focused on the application of previous knowledge,...

Program of Reading and Writing for Critical Thinking (RWCT) in the approach to teaching beginning teachers in the primary school
Stupková, Petra ; Tomková, Anna (advisor) ; Kargerová, Jana (referee)
This thesis aims to reflect the stage of professionalteachers start first grade of primary school. It deals with pedagogical activities and responsibilities of primary school teachers and professional support you as a teacher stating clearly set out to professional qualities of a teacher or profilig on a new teacher education program teacher training in it. One of them is an innovative program Reading and Writing for Critical Thinking (RWCT). The aim of my thesis is the finding of such problems facing today's beginning teachers, helps them to overcome what level of involvement in RWCT own approach to teaching, the influence of the quality of knowledge of the principles and methods of the program RWCT in conception of educationon, on job and The professionalization of teacher. Keywords: Beginning teacher, support for beginning teachers, the quality of teachers, teaching approaches, educational program RWCT, RWCT teacher, teacher professionalization.

Teacher's Citizenship Competence and Conception of Teaching
Klecandová, Magdalena ; Kasíková, Hana (advisor) ; Strouhal, Martin (referee)
The thesis follows up citizenship competence of a teacher and its influence on the conception of teaching. It shows components of the citizenship competence and presents it in the personality of the teacher, in educational and other documents, in education generally and in teacher's active approach in school and in life. Qualitative research looks into the influence of citizenship competence of the teacher on his approach to teaching. It introduces the personalities of teachers of civic and social sciences, their views on citizenship competence and its parts, which they observe on themselves. The research results also present an overall approach to developing this competence in pupils and students and ways of promoting good citizenship in school. The topic of an apolitical school also mentioned in the thesis. Interviews with teachers and observations of teaching are used as research methods.

Activating Methods In Economic Subjects In High Schools
JANOUCHOVÁ, Zuzana
This bachelor thesis is focused on the topic of activation method within education of economic subjects at secondary schools. The thesis has two basic parts, where the first ones concentrated on theoretical bases, in which the terms "education" and "learning" are explained, education concept is introduced, learning cycle and didactic styles are described and activation method and individual styles of activation methods are elaborated in details. The second part constitutes the research part. In this section, the methodology of investigation is described, where interview was used as exploration tool. Furthermore, this part contains interpretation of results of the above mentioned research, which the author realized at secondary schools, where economic subject are educated. The results of the investigation show that teachers of economic subjects at secondary schools are acquainted with activation methods and simultaneously, they use these methods in their lessons. Students welcome, if the teacher applies these methods in pursuance of education of economic subjects, because it helps them to acquire the given topic much quicker. In case of interest, this bachelor thesis will be given at disposal to representatives of the secondary schools, where the research was performed.

This is especially the concepts of environment lighting, climate, atmosphere, teaching communication and socialization. The thesis focuses on explaining the formation process of class change its stakeholders, especially students and teachers, the possibilities of class climate and provides a brief overview of research results so far analyzed interested professionals. Marginally provides information on the developmental psychology of children younger than school age, school social climate and social climate of the teaching staff. The practical part focuses on research into the social climate in real classrooms. Studies were conducted at third, fourth and fifth classes of three elementary schools in the South region, using a standardized questionnaire "My class inventory?. The content of the practical work is to introduce readers to the used diagnostic method, the interpretation of the award process questionnaires, the completion and analysis of results of research in particular. The research results are presented graphically and accompanied by commentary. Finish their part of the practical conclusions that have been raised prior to the compilation of hypotheses.
