Starting points for a new physics curriculum
Kolář, Petr ; Žák, Vojtěch (advisor)
This thesis presents starting and supporting points for a new secondary school physics curricu- lum and the methodology which was used. The research design was inspired mainly by the objectivist grounded theory. 29 in-depth semistructured interviews were conducted with elite Czech physicists and there were identified 79 ideas about a secondary school physics curricu- lum. After approximately two years, 56 ideas were used in the questionnaire survey where re- spondents expressed on a Likert scale their degree of agreement with the ideas. Respondents were natural scientists (non-physicists), experts on didactics of physics, secondary school phys- ics teachers and 26 of 29 physicists who were also participants of the interviews. In the ques- tionnaire survey, there were identified ideas on which all groups of respondents agreed and which are stable in time in the group of physicists.

Education to Humanity
Kolář, Petr ; Koťa, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Strouhal, Martin (referee)
(in English): The main goal of the diploma thesis is to interpret the educational ideals in a relationship to the issues of education for humanity and to point out the importance of today's neglected reflection of humanity in education. Eugen Fink says that today's education for humanity has turned into a mere education for a profession. What is the historical development of his antinomy? What is its ontological essence? Education for humanity is opposed to education, which is a technique or means of forming a person in the service of power. Such education is nurtured by the phenomenon of modern technology, which Heidegger called Gestell. It permeates human thinking and action through system planning and the action of organizational and bureaucratic structures. It is characterized by the objectification of man, forgetfulness of being, calculating thinking, non-perception of context, loss of identity and freedom, etc. The practical part of the thesis presents the course and results of research on the perception of Gestell by pedagogical staff. How do entities such as freedom, happiness, dignity, manipulation, fear, subordination, fulfillment, meaning, technology perceive?

The Babtism on the Background of Liturgic Reforms of the 16th and 20th Century.
Pekárek, František ; Holeton, David Ralph (advisor) ; Hradílek, Pavel (referee) ; Kolář, Pavel (referee)
The work Liturgical Reforms and Renewal concerning baptism in the 16th and 20th century explores relationship between liturgical reforms of baptismal rites in the 16th century and contemporary liturgical movement. The main theme of the work is the transformation of Christian initiation at the end of 20th and its relation to the reforms of baptismal rites in the reformation period. The first part of the work describes reforms of Lutheran and Anglican baptismal rites. There are two main sources used for comparison: Luther's Taufbüchleins and first two editions of the Book of Common Prayer. The second part of the work is dedicated to contemporary efforts to renew baptismal rites. The rites of Canadian Anglicans and Lutherans serve as prototypes. The investigation of baptismal rites is preceded by the theological examination of any performed changes. The conclusion of the work transcends its aim when it shows the problems of renewal in wider context. It provides with the typology of the opponents of liturgical movement and tries to bring deeper insight into historical connections which form their attitudes. In the conclusion, we can find author's perspective on the contribution of renewal in baptismal theology and liturgy for the broadest ecumena. This work came into being at the Institute of Ecumenical Studies...
