Chemical Experiments in Secondary Education
Vozka, Jiří ; Hybelbauerová, Simona (referee) ; Klímová, Helena (advisor)
The thesis contains four topics from organic chemistry and biochemistry processed into the structure of chemical experiments and laboratory works. These topics are Proteins, Light and fire, Curiosities and Professions. Some experiments are accompanied by motivational text, including additional information or interesting facts. Each experiment was verified in the laboratory at the Department of Teaching & Didactics of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague. Each experiment was photographically documented. Two of them were also video taped and these videos with all pictures are on the CD accompanying this thesis.

Biochemistry in High School Education
Roštejnská, Milada ; Klímová, Helena (advisor) ; Smrček, Stanislav (referee) ; Dundr, Milan (referee)
In conclusion I would like to highlight the fact that I believe all aims were fulfilled. The results of the educational materials analysis show that there is none sufficiently suitable complex educational program on the market that could help teaching biochemistry at secondary schools. There are animations and presentations available on the Internet, but their level is far too high for the secondary schools. The animations are usually available only in the English version. The questionnaire investigation has shown that the vast majority of schools are equipped with basic computer instrumentation and other necessary equipment (data projector, screen) to be able to include the modern information technologies into the educational process. The teachers would welcome any teaching aids aimed on the Photosynthesis, Citric acid cycle, Metabolisms and Proteosynthesis. As the questionnaire investigation showed the most problematic parts of the biochemistry subject matter, I have prepared the educational text targeting these areas of biochemistry. This text was divided to form the basis for two tutoring programs: "Biochemical Processes in Human Body" and "Photosynthesis in Dynamic Animations". The tutoring programs are composed of educational PowerPoint presentations and Macromedia Flash animations...
