Comparison of the Integrated and Separated Approaches to the Natural Science Education at the ISCED 2 Level of Education in the Czech Republic and the Kingdom of Norway
Vožehová, Lucie ; Jedličková, Tereza (advisor) ; Pavlasová, Lenka (referee)
The present diploma thesis compares integrated education of natural science in the Norwegian Kingdom and education in the Czech Republic where natural science education is divided into a few separate subjects on the ISCED 2 educational level. The thesis summarises these two different approaches to science education, compares curricular documents and approaches to science teachers' education in the Czech Republic and the Kingdom of Norway. The main objective of this work is to find the impact the different concept of science education has on a teacher's ability to answer students' complex questions integrating knowledge from different science subjects. To meet this objective, I chose to use qualitative research in which teachers were asked open-ended questions as part of a structured interview. The outcome of the research was that there are some differences in how the complex questions are answered based on the different approaches to science education. In many cases, however, the answers varied depending on the teacher. The research also discovered personal preferences of science teachers on the ISCED 2 level of education. Also, the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches are, to some extent, viewed differently. The comprehensive, research-backed, text may be used for discussion about...

Technical and technological audit of the water treatment plant
Jedličková, Tereza ; Svoboda, Pavel (referee) ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of the submitted diploma thesis is the implementation and evaluation of the technical and technological audit of water management systems of water treatment plants – concretely Plzeň Water Treatment Plants. Part of its audit is a description of potable water production, including the evaluation of the TEA Water treatment plant, evaluation of quality assurance of raw and produced drinking water, analysis of costs and pricing costing, personnel evaluation, care of the plant and draft measures for better working of the whole system. The work also focuses on the characteristics, history and the past reconstruction and more detailed description of the individual cleaning stages of the selected water treatment plant in Pilsen. The audit itself was preceded by the study of current legislation, namely the Law No. 274/2001 Coll. and Decree No. 428/2001 Coll. The diploma thesis also describes performing laboratory analyzes in an accredited laboratory of Plzeň Water Treatment Plants.

Local referendum in the CR - the law, its application in practice and ideas de lege ferenda
Jedličková, Tereza ; Svoboda, Petr (advisor) ; Kopecký, Martin (referee)
The thesis examines local referendums, a form of direct democracy that is used the most in the Czech Republic. Nowadays, it is a standard part of municipal politics. The goal of the paper is to provide a complex analysis of the legislation, based primarily on relevant case- law, and to provide proposals for its amendment. The thesis is composed of an introduction, ten chapters and a conclusion. The order of the paper largely follows the composition of the Act on Local Referendum. Chapter One describes direct democracy and its forms. Chapter Two examines the relevant constitutional and international legislation. Chapter Three describes the scope of topics that may be subjects of local referendums in general and also looks at the most frequent ones. Chapter Four concerns itself with voters and the preparative committee - a body that puts forward the proposal to hold a local referendum - and examines its assembling and operation. Chapters Five and Six explore the committee's proposal and its review procedure conducted by municipal authorities and also by municipal councils that render the final decision to hold a local referendum. Chapter Seven focuses on conditions that need to be fulfilled in order to achieve a valid and legally binding decision in a local referendum. Chapter Eight describes all four types...

Pupils' Attitudes Toward Natural Science Lessons
Mastíková, Lucie ; Hlaváčová, Lucie (advisor) ; Jedličková, Tereza (referee)
This diploma thesis aims to find out satisfaction of lower secondary school pupils with science lessons, science classroom equipment, environment and topics in science that are missed by the pupils. Their requests regarding improvement and variegation of science education are also determined, which could contribute to increasing their motivation and interest in science. This diploma thesis maps, which topics of science or tools are mostly lacked by pupils. Their opinions are determined using questionnaires, which were filled by 221 pupils of Elementary school in Uhlířské Janovice in Central Bohemian Region. The results show that pupils would like to include more field work, science outings, excursions, group work, laboratory work, science documentaries, work with a microscope and they would also like to include some real animals. Some of the respondents wouldn't change anything regarding the science lessons. With respect to the results of the research, a daylong project with environmental studies, field work, collection of natural products and their processing was suggested for the particular elementary school.

Water consumption in selected subjects
Jedličková, Tereza ; Sucháček, Tomáš (referee) ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of the theoretical part of the bachelor thesis is to define the basic concepts related to the need and consumption of water. The following terms are explained: average daily water demand, maximum daily and maximum hourly water demand. The thesis also deals with water flow measurement. Among other things several types of flow meters are described here. In the practical part of the bachelor thesis, water consumption and water prices are analyzed in three selected agricultural cooperatives. There are compared individual agricultural cooperatives. Part of the thesis is also the determination of the average value of water consumption per cow.

Use of Educational CD-ROMs in Science and Biology Teaching at Lower and Upper Secondary Schools
Vačkářová, Kateřina ; Pavlasová, Lenka (referee) ; Jedličková, Tereza (referee)
Information and communication technologies (ICT) are a daily part of everyone's life. Therefore in this work I continue in topic of my thesis, in which I created and verified in practice educational program (software) "Microbiology". The aim of this work was to create, publish and verify in practice educational programs for teaching microbiology, mycology and protozoology at lower and secondary schools. I tried to unify terms used in these scientific areas and to create high-quality sources of information. Due to its easy availability (CD-ROM, internet), interactive sections, a number of images, texts, experiments, fun games, quizzes and other attractions educational programs can enhance traditional teaching mechanism of biology in all types of schools. This work includes a content analysis of biologically oriented educational programs currently available in the Czech Republic. It describes my own programs ("Microbiology", "Mycology" and "Protozoology") and processes the results of evaluation of programs by teacher lower and upper secondary schools. Teachers' opinions I statistically evaluated using questionnaires. The results show that lower secondary schools teachers use educational programs more often than upper secondary schools teachers. It is also showed that the most teachers use education...
