SALCEROVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor thesis focuses on theatre as a didactic tool for teaching the Czech language and literature in high schools. The theoretical part is based on specialised literature. Attention is paid to the history of theatre, application of dramatic methods in high school teaching and the representation of plays in Czech language and literature textbooks. The practical part consists of two chapters. The first presents two examples of didactic themes for high school lessons, specifically the drama Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and České nebe by the authors of the Jára Cimrman Theatre Zdeněk Svěrák and Ladislav Smoljak. The second chapter focuses on a survey conducted in selected high schools. It focuses on the popularity of dramas among students and their representation in teaching within the thematic plans of teachers. The thesis includes examples of worksheets that would appropriately motivate students to read based on classroom activities or to visit the theatre. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to popularize teaching of drama in the subject of Czech language and literature, integrate three areas of Czech language teaching (writing, literature, and language), develop communication skills for future professional application, and strengthen the cohesion of the class collective.

Analysis of the Core Learning Content of the Human Biology Topic in the Lower-secondary Textbooks
Dvořáková, Barbora ; Vojíř, Karel (advisor) ; Ehler, Edvard (referee)
This master's thesis focused on the analysis of core curriculum content in the field of human biology as presented in textbooks designed for the 8th grade of primary schools and corresponding years of multi-year gymnasia. Its main objective was to conduct empirical analysis of the content of textbooks from various Czech publishers to identify the core curriculum or its key concepts presented in these textbooks. A microanalysis of textbook content and an analysis of core concepts presented by textbooks from individual Czech publishers were conducted. The analysis of the core curriculum was conducted based on the identification of important technical terms in the textbook text, removal of duplicates within individual textbook texts, further unification of terms based on their summarizing concepts, and finally, the identification of technical terms that appeared in more than half of the presented textbooks. The results indicated that out of the total number of key terms contained in current Czech textbooks on natural science, only 426 terms, representing less than 17 %, were identified as core curriculum content. KEYWORDS: textbooks, biology, human biology, key terms, core curriculum, analysis
