Tests and testing in courses of Czech for foreigners
Šálená, Ivana ; Hrdlička, Milan (advisor) ; Šebesta, Karel (referee)
The aim of this master's thesis is to deal with the problems of tests and testing. Firstly, tests, testing items, problems of solvability and unbiased assessment were described. On the basis of particular language tests - level A1 according to Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which test foreigners' Czech (a foreign language for them) - the success rate of receptive skills (reading) and productive skills (writing) is compared. Concerning writing skills, there is a problem how to reach unbiased assessment. Finally, linguodidactic recommendation intended mainly for teachers of Czech as a foreign language is formulated. Keywords test, test's task, language level A1

Problematic multiple-choice problems
Venderová, Markéta ; Jančařík, Antonín (advisor) ; Vondrová, Naďa (referee)
This thesis tries to answer the question what impact on the results in Mathematical Kangaroo competition has inclusion of specific curriculum into the School Education Program. The work focuses on multiple-choice type of tasks, where pupils fall short of success. Pupils can meet such tasks in mathematical competitions and research. The work is divided into theoretical and empirical part. The first part, makes readers familiar with current situation regarding mathematical competitions in Czech environment and defines terms related to the issue. It also characterizes selected competitions in which primary school pupils are involved, and focuses more on competition Mathematical Kangaroo. The empirical part describes methodology of qualitative research, aimed to verify the effect of inclusion specific curriculum in mathematics into the School Education Program on results of competition Mathematical Kangaroo. In this section two surveys are processed and analyzed, that took place during the school years 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 at complete primary school. The surveys were based on an analysis of tasks from competition Mathematical Kangaroo, analysis of textbooks, School Education Program and other school documents. Further there were conducted semi structured interviews with teachers and pupils, which...

The level of knowledge and skills in chemistry among secondary school students
Cífková, Tereza
The primary goal of the this thesis is to create standardized tool to determine the level of competency in Chemistry (i.e. knowledge, abilities, and skills) among secondary school students, formulated in the form of "expected outcomes" in the Framework Education Programme for Secondary General Education (RVP G, 2007) and then use this tool to determine the success of students in secondary schools in teaching the tests expected outcomes of chemistry in the academic year 2014/2015. The creation of this research tool and determine the success of students after a few years of starting curricular reform allows for use in future years to monitor the development of education in chemistry by general educational programs. The study first conducted analyses of these expected outcomes from the perspective of Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (Amer, 2006; Anderson et al., 2001; Hudecová, 2004; Krathwohl, 2002; Krietzer et al., 1994). By examining the School Education Programmes of secondary schools participating in the study, a curriculum was identified that is overlooked or not clearly defined by RVP G (2007), whose inclusion in education falls within the competence of each school. Requirements were also compared for outputs of chemistry education for secondary school students in the Czech Republic...
