Mathematics textbooks for secondary schools from the point of view of beginning teachers.
KOSOVÁ, Kateřina
This master thesis deals with mathematics textbooks designed for the lower-secondary school. The aim of the work was to find out which mathematics textbooks are the mostly used by teachers in elementary schools in České Budějovice, how and to what extent teachers use textbooks and how do they evaluate them. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part defines the concept of a textbook, its function, structure, the issue of selection of a textbook and the results of research related to how teachers use textbooks. The practical part is based on a questionnaire survey carried out between teachers of mathematics at the lower-secondary school in Ceske Budejovice. At first, work procedure and the research method are described and then the results of the research are provided. Based on research, the most used textbooks for the sixth grade of elementary school are compared between themselves from the perspective of a novice teacher. The conclusion of the practical part of my diploma project is devoted to comparing the topic of axial symmetry in the selected textbooks that were chosen by the teachers in the questionnaire included in this thesis.
School textbooks and their use in practice: the role of students in the evaluation of textbooks and geographical content
Kulma, Natanael ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Cimová, Tereza (referee)
The present bachelor thesis deals with the issue of school textbooks. In the theoretical part, the textbook is clearly defined in terms of its privileged position among educational resources, its internal structure and the functions to which it is adapted. Furthermore, the extent to which it is used, and the way in which it is used in practice by teachers and pupils, is mapped out. Finally, the role of the learner as the evaluative subject of textbooks is presented, and specific recommendations for research and design of textbooks with the aim of increasing their use by learners are outlined. The practical part presents insights into the background of primary school pupils in order to test the theoretical assumptions regarding pupils' experiences of textbook use, their evaluation of the textbook and their preferred geographical themes in the content of the geography textbooks.
