Examining the quality of teaching psychology in secondary schools
MARHANOVÁ, Lucie
The diploma thesis is focused on examining the quality of teaching psychology at secondary schools. It includes two parts. In the introduction to the theoretical part, attention is paid to the quality of teaching in terms of content-oriented approach. There are presented individual phases of the process of didactic transformation of content (ontodidactic, psychodidactic and cognitive) and its pitfalls. The next part deals with the didactics of psychology and the form of teaching psychology at secondary schools in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The practical part contains two teaching situations, which were created by 3A procedure into didactic case studies. These case studies provide insight into the teaching of psychology based on its analysis using the so-called model of in-depth structure of teaching. The teaching situation is therefore evaluated in terms of integrity of individual layers of teaching (ie conceptual, thematic and competence. The aim of this qualitative approach is not only evaluation, but also designing alterations that improve the quality of teaching to psychological literacy.

Šťastná, Jaroslava
The diploma thesis deals with teaching geometry at the basic school - what is the position of geometry in comparison with mathematics and other school subjects at present day? The thesis describes didactic teaching principles of geometry, its methods and work forms. It deals with the teacher's attitude to its teaching. Research is divided into two parts. In the first part it deals with detecting relations and teacher's attitudes to geometry. It explores possible influence to positive or negative attitude to it, and how these impulses influence theirs todays attitude to geometry as a school subject. The second part of the project detects positive or negative influence of teacher's attitude to geometry on pupil's results from this subject. It deals with particular data from worksheets which were done by pupils from the 5th class and compares them with answers of theirs teachers in the questionaire about popularity of teaching of geometry. The assumption is that the results of pupils who are led by the teacher with positive attitude to geometry will be better than the results of pupils who are taught by the teacher with negative attitude to the geometry. It studies differences in results among particular tested schools and differences in achievements between boys and girls. In the thesis the graphs...

The Quality of Teaching by Beginning Physics Teachers
Martínková, Jana ; Žák, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Mandíková, Dana (referee)
The strategic goal of the research is to contribute to the search for connections between the teaching quality and other factors, and to deepen the understanding of the context of the teaching quality. The research question is posed as follows: Which parameters of the quality of physics teaching are typical for beginning teachers? To answer the question a mixed method research design was used and a case study was chosen as the basic research plan. An ex-post-facto research was chosen as the design of the quantitative part of the research, and the data was collected using the method of pedagogical observation. Regarding the qualitative part, the data was collected using semi-structured interviews. The research sample consisted of four physics teachers, teaching in grammar schools, who have recently graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University. This research shows that there are parameters of the quality of physics teaching which the teachers have in common (e.g. high level of physics expertise, lecturing, mathematics, abstraction, knowledge structure). Besides common features of the teaching quality of the selected teachers there are certain differences (e.g. teaching aids, experiments, work with text, student's activity, demands placed on students).
