Pišoft, Jan ; Slavík, Milan (advisor) ; Bohumil, Bohumil (referee)
In the first part of the thesis I focus on the analysis of scientific literature and examining how best can I make my motivate students and thus create ideal conditions for learning, I was then able to in the next section to create for students textbooks, including the basics of electrical engineering, which have the opportunity to repeat their theoretical knowledge necessary for further work. The aim of the thesis is to create teaching aids for apprenticeship electrician, which is in our field really short. I describe the emergence of an educational panel, a detailed description of the individual steps in its construction, in which pupils will rehearse connecting electrical circuits and electrical schematics Appliance according to syllabuses. It turned out that with the advent of the teaching panel increased pupils' interest in training in practical skills and have a much greater motivation to learn and absorb new information.
