Böckl, Tomáš ; Petrželová, Simona (advisor) ; Teplá, Milada (referee)
The most enjoyable part of Chemistry as a subject in High school was, is, and always will be working in a laboratory, where all experiments are performed by the pupils. Chemical experiments with an easily accessible raw material such as pills of Spirulina and Chlorella are expected to increase the interest of students. For this Bachelor's work, experiments were designed and the task was performed utilizing commercial sources of Spirulina and Chlorella, which are sold as food supplements and considered to be superfoods nowadays due to their high protein content. In this Bachelor's work attention is paid to the pigments that Spirulina and Chlorella contain. The main topic of this work are pigments, which are mentioned in the context of Organic Chemistry lessons in the RVP G documents. First, experiments with these pigments were performed, namely their extraction with various solvents and chromatography. Subsequently, it was determined by HPLC and UV-Vis spectroscopy which pigments are extracted with which solvent. Based on these results, materials suitable for teaching chemistry at secondary schools were created, especially on the topic of separation methods and polarity of substances. Two laboratory works suitable for the IBSE teaching method were proposed, as well as a worksheet Keywords:...

This thesis deals with activation methods in teaching Chemistry with support of mobile applications. The theoretical part deals with the topic of digital literacy. By analyzing the document Recommendations of the Council of the European Union focusing on key competences for life- long learning, it was concluded that a digital competence is one of their components. Therefore it is highly desirable for schools to include digital technologies in their curricula to develop pupils' skills in using them. In addition, the theoretical part introduces the concepts related to mobile learning and activation teaching methods. Consequnetly, specific mobile applications and activation teaching methods are introduced and used in the practical part. The practical part is devoted to the didactic design of nine activities for teaching Chemistry. The activation of students with the support of monile applications is emphasised in this part of the thesis. All activities have been developed using the CMIARE didactic cycle (goal, method, instruction, action, reflection, evaluation) which brings many elements of formative assessment. All activities were evaluated by a group of selected Chemistry teachers. The evaluations showed that all activities were applicable to teaching Chemistry at the grade level for which they...

The impact of inquiry-based science education in chemistry and biology
Sloupová, Hana ; Teplá, Milada (advisor) ; Čížková, Věra (referee) ; Bayerová, Anna (referee)
The main target of the thesis is to find the impact of using inquiry-based science education (IBSE) on pupils' inner motivation and the level of knowledge gained for ISCED 2. To reach that, two consecutive research surveys have been held. In the first part the reaction of pupils to including an IBSE task into a regular lesson has been observed. The impact on their inner motivation has been studied. The correlation between various factors (e.g. type of school, sex) and their changes in inner motivation on observed scales has been evaluated. In the second part, the existence of statistically significant difference between experimental and control group relating the motivation of pupils to do ordinary laboratory tasks has been questioned. That was studied also after implementation of IBSE. The level of knowledge of all the pupils was examined in a similar way. Implementation of IBSE itself was evaluated by an observation of pupils while performing the implemented task as well as by standardized questionnaire Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) (McAuley et al., 1989; Ryan, 1982). Acquired data have been processed by specialised software IBM SPSS Statistics 25 (IBM Corp., 2017), choosing suitable statistical methods. The results have shown that implementing IBSE tasks in chemistry education decreases...
