Analysis of Visual Components in Biology Textbooks with Focus on Geology Chapters
Jakoubková, Sára ; Vojíř, Karel (advisor) ; Říhová, Dagmar (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the visual components in lower-secondary natural science textbooks, with a focus on chapters about geology. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate individual visual components within the analyzed sample of textbooks through specific categories, assessing their relevance and contribution to the educational process. In the practical part, the methodology from the Greek study (Dimopoulos, Koulaidis a Sklaveniti, 2003) is described, according to which the quantitative content analysis of visual components in the selected sample of textbooks was implemented. This sample includes natural science textbooks with the approval of the Ministry of Education. For each visual component, the type, function, form, vertical and horizontal scope, distance, and placement in the textbook were evaluated. The obtained results were further compared with research on the same topic. The analysis results indicate that textbooks contain a significant proportion of identical visual components. These results can be further utilized to improve natural science textbooks. KEYWORDS natural science textbooks, visual component, visuals, analysis of textbooks, lower secondary education

Implementation of the Teaching Method Visual Thinking Strategies into Teaching at the Middle School
Drdáková, Veronika ; Voňková, Hana (advisor) ; Papajoanu, Ondřej (referee)
In this diploma thesis we will focus on the method of Visual Thinking), which has not yet been described in Czech literature, which was developed in the education department of the most famous Museum of Modern Art in New York, a method that actively develops abilities and skills in the areas of: visual literacy, critical thinking, communication, cooperation, tolerance. The student naturally improves their thought operations, thinks deeply and solves problems, becomes an initiator and an open recipient of new ideas, expands the scope and level of speech, increases their own cooperation with others, as well as independence from role models, and increases self-confidence. The method uses the learning process by expanding, changing and elaborating existing cognitive schemes through interaction with artistic images through a specially designed program. In the theoretical part we deal with the characteristics and analysis of the method, the possibilities of implementation in the Czech curriculum, we find the possibilities of the impact of the method on affective and cognitive abilities, we build on common parallels in the method Reading and Writting to Critical Thinking. The VTS teaching method has been successfully implemented in schools and cultural institutions throughout the country in the USA and...
