Macounová, Veronika ; Chvál, Martin (advisor) ; Novotná, Jarmila (referee)
The thesis processes data from the research of the company H-edu, which developed a course to help students understand the issue of fractions in the difficult times of Covid-19.

Macounová, Veronika ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hanus, Martin (referee)
This work is a continuation of the bachelor's thesis which proposed the idea of a Geography teacher as a crucial factor in one's decision to study Geography. For this reason, the research focuses on a comparison of two groups of teachers. The choice of the ten responders in the first group was based on the highest number of students from different Czech schools applying to study Geography. The second part with 90 respondents consists of randomly selected teachers from Prague and regions of Central Bohemia, Ústí nad Labem, Karlovy Vary, Plzeň, South Bohemia, Pardubice, Hradec Králové, Liberec and Vysočina. The research is concluded with analysing how teachers work with feedback and self-reflection. Key words: teacher's personality, teacher's attitude towards students, questionnaire, Geography lessons, lesson plan
