Solved Problems in Electromagnetism for Electronic Collection
Pošta, Petr ; Koupilová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Ledvinka, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis is a follow-up to several bachelor and diploma theses which were dedicated to creating solved problems for Electronic Collection of Solved Problems in Electromagnetism. The first goal of this thesis was to make a short survey about electronic resources in electromagnetism, especially those which contain solved problems and provide open access to their contents. The second goal was to make a small collection of solved problems in this area which would be suitable for undergraduate students and which would fill in chapters with little amount of problems in the Electronic Collection. This Electronic Collection is openly accesible on the website of Department of Physics Education. Total of 30 solved problems have been made in this thesis, including hints, detailed solutions and suitable pictures. Methodical comments are also available for almost all problems.

Electronic Collection of Solved Problems in Electromagnetism - Direct Current
Snětinová, Marie ; Koupilová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Ošťádal, Ivan (referee)
This thesis is a follow-up to of the bachelor thesis titled Electronic Collection of Solved Problems in Electromagnetism. The aim of this thesis was to a follow-up to and include more solved tasks and problems into the chapter "Electricity and magnetism - Direct current" at the high school and university level and cover completely the area of the high school curriculum. Tasks in this chapter were divided into several sections, according to physics topics they cover. In addition to the task creation, the thesis was focused on monitoring of the usability of the collection, especially of the structure of the tasks solution. The research was conducted by the mean of an electronic questionnaire lled out by users of the collection, especially rst-year students of physics course at MFF UK, to whom the collection was introduced. A sample of solved problems, the questionnaire and its evaluation are attached to the thesis.

Electronic Textbook in Introduction to Mathematical Methods of Physics
Kolář, Petr ; Žák, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Koupilová, Zdeňka (referee)
Title: Electronic Textbook in Introduction of Mathematical Methods of Physics Abstract: The objective of this work is to create a studing text not only for the first grade students of physics teaching at FMP CU but also for other students of phy- sical and technical domains at universities which should help them with an intro- duction into mathematic necessary in physics. The main matter of this work is based on preparations and texts of dr. A Hladík, prof. J. Podolský and dr. V. Žák for lectures and exercises of subject Introduction of Mathematical Methods of Physics. The author's experience is also reflected of course, especially his fresh experience with the age group for which is this text created. Equally, a small re- cherche of an existence and an availability of other sources pursuing given matters have been done. Some of these sources are recommended in this work. The cre- ated text should help readers with elementary matter of systems of coordinates, limits and derivations with a special consideration to their applications in physics. A contribution of this work for students is going to be a subject of other resear- ching. An extension of this text with other elementary parts of mathematical methods of physics is presumed too.

Experiential Learning in Physics Education
Kerepecká, Zuzana ; Koupilová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Irena (referee)
The thesis deals with using experiential learning in physics education. It begins with a review of the literature concerning this matter. The text is then focused on organizing longer events (i. e. events consisting of more individual activities) where experiential learning is used. The ideal process of planning such an event is described and attention is also paid to so-called "dramaturgy"; i. e. a way of choosing individual activities and arranging them. Two new activities for physics education based on experiential learning are offered (puzzle hunt with LEDs and doing a short scene about a life of a physicist) and instructions for making a teaching aid; that all focussed on physics. Furthermore, one activity proposed in the author's bachelor thesis (consisting of observing a night sky) was tested with students. The main part of this thesis describes the planning, realisation, and reflection of a two-day event organised for the purpose of this thesis. Experiential learning was used for teaching physics and the description of this event shows an application of theoretical principles in practice. Above all; the event might have positively influenced students' attitude towards physics thanks to experiential learning. 1

Bohr Model of Atom
Hřebík, Lukáš ; Koupilová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Kácovský, Petr (referee)
Title: Bohr Model of Atom Author: Lukáš Hřebík Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Zdeňka Koupilová, Ph.D., Department of Physics Education Abstract: This bachelor thesis focuses on the Bohr model of atom from 1913. In addition to this model, the models that preceded it, especially the Thomson model and the Rutherford model, are also briefly discussed. In the case of the Rutherford model, the stability calculation of the atom thus described is given. There are the original derivations from historical articles that will help readers understand the development of the Bohr model. The whole thesis is set in a physical-historical context. Both the physical phenomena that this model helped to clarify and those that it could not explain are mentioned here. The aim of the work is to acquaint the reader with the overall "life" of the Bohr model, from its inception through its development to its abandonment. Keywords: model of atoms, Bohr model of atom, study text

Physics experiments and gamebook
Tarakjiová, Jasmína ; Houfková, Jitka (advisor) ; Koupilová, Zdeňka (referee)
The goal of this bachelor thesis is creating a methodological material, a gamebook, which in an engaging and non-violent way makes the child think about interesting physical problems. The solution of these problems can be easily interpreted in experiments, whose instructions are also part of this thesis. The ideas for the experiments are chosen unusual and surprising, so they can be attractive to the child, but also to the parents. Only simple tools, which are found in almost every household, are needed to perform the experiments. Teachers can also assign them as individual homework. The structure of the story of the Physical Gamebook is captured in a map, which indicates the individual intersections and possibilities of story development. The target group for which the Physical Gamebook was written is the 2nd level of primary schools and the corresponding levels of grammar schools. An integral part of the thesis is a summary of the results and the effect of the gamebook in practice.
