Field Trip Activities to IQpark
Zajacová, Blanka ; Kekule, Martina (advisor) ; Žák, Vojtěch (referee)
Title: Field Trip Activities to iQpark Author: Blanka Zajacová Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Martina Kekule, PhD., Department of Physics Education Abstract: This thesis deals with preparation of physically oriented worksheets and methodical sheets for pupils and teachers of secondary and high schools who visit the iQpark science centre. The theoretical part describes some teaching methods and forms and their classification. Further it sums up the results of research of materials for pupils and teachers that are published on the web sites of ten science centres in Europe and USA. Six physical field trip activities to iQpark for high school students and four for secondary school students were prepared as a part of the thesis. One worksheet for pupils and one methodical sheet for accompanying teachers were prepared for each field trip. A pilot study of the worksheets was carried out in cooperation with instructors of iQpark. 284 pupils from 20 different secondary schools and 407 students from 22 different high schools participated in the pilot study. Individual tasks were finalized on the basis of an analysis of pupils' responses that was carried out after the first testing. A pilot study of the methodical sheets was also carried out. 18 pedagogical workers expressed their...

Solved problems in mechanics
Soukup, Marek ; Mandíková, Dana (advisor) ; Žák, Vojtěch (referee)
: In terms of the thesis an electronic collection of solved problems was created. The solved problems embrace the mechanics of solid object theme. There are total 17 of solved problems in the collection. The problems cover the level from secondary school to introductory university lectures on classical mechanics. The problems are selected from existing collection and publications. Every problem contains an assigment, a structured help. a detailed solution and a result. In the first part of the thesis a problem and an aim of the thesis are specified. Next, the overview of the subject matter which is teached in primary schools, secondary schools and at university follows. The common schoolbooks are also described. The last part of the thesis describes the characteristics, the technical solution, the structure and the content of the electronic collection of solved problems. In the conclusion the results of work and the future perspective are summerized. An attachment includes 5 solved problems. All solved problems and the text of the thesis are included in the electronic form on the enclosed CD.

Selected Solved Problems in Quantum Mechanics
Fišerová, Kateřina ; Bílek, Oldřich (advisor) ; Žák, Vojtěch (referee)
The main aim of this thesis was to create a set of problems in Quantum Mechanics, which would be included in a collection of solved problems in Physics available online on the website http://www.fyzikalniulohy.cz. As a result, thirty nine problems were completed, covering seven thematic areas partially of high school and mostly of introductory college Quantum Mechanics course. In general, the collection is mainly designed for college students as an exercise in basic quantum-mechanical problems and also for high school students, who have a desire to deal with some special problems. A detailed description of content, structure, and technical execution of this collection can be found in chapter 1 of this thesis. Another task was to review existing online collections of applets dealing with Quantum Mechanics. A selection of them is introduced in chapter 2 of this thesis.

Correspondence physics competition of MFF UK - its feedback and development
Kolář, Karel ; Žák, Vojtěch (advisor)
Correspondence physics competition of MFF UK - FYKOS - is extracurricular physical educational activity organized by university students for upper secondary school students. FYKOS is organized by Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University in Prague (MFF UK). FYKOS' main goals are: dissemination of physics, education of upper secondary school students, establishing conditions for creation of social bindings between participants (and organizers) and propagation of possibility of studies at MFF UK. This work is the first complete text about running of FYKOS and it is also the first systematical feedback from FYKOS' participants and FYKOS' organizers. The first part is a description of all FYKOS' activities (correspondence part, camps, FYKOSí Fyziklání and others). The second chapter includes an analysis of statistical survey of FYKOS' participants. Other chapters are dedicated to the description of gathering feedback and its interpretation. The feedback was made in several ways - interviews, web questionnaire and email questionnaire. Special attention was turned to study and professional development of former participants. Acquired knowledge lead up to formulation of possible improvements of FYKOS which are introduced in the last part of this theses. It was discovered that among respondents of...

Student's Ideas about Energy
Dobias, Pavel ; Mandíková, Dana (advisor) ; Žák, Vojtěch (referee)
The goal of my thesis has been to find about high school students' intuitive conceptions of energy. I followed the previous studies made in the energy field and in terms of them my own research was carried out in the form of a test. The test contained 13 questions and 152 freshmen from six classes and 112 secondary school leavers from five classes participated in this. In questions I was concerned with the most frequent misconceptions. I compiled the results for each task into tables and illustrated in graphs as well. I compared the first and fourth classes' results to find out how effective schools were in replacing misconceptions with the correct knowledge. I was interested as well if there is some relationship between misconceptions and sex or marks of the interviewees. Next I compared classes to each other. At the end I mentioned the risk of neglected misconceptions in studying physics.
