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.

Project-based learning in lower secondary school
Vajdečka, Pavol ; Žák, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Kekule, Martina (referee)
My thesis presents a proposal of project teaching in primary schools in physics. Targets on the learning process compared with traditional teaching project teaching. Problems of teaching project is treated as a way of illustration of the potential of innovative educational process. Project awarded to students tasks can be combined with educational methods by which students are driving towards solving complex problems. It supports an individual activity, creativity, mutual communication, responsibility, ability to use ICT resources, and the ability to deepen knowledge of MS Office and ability to present their work before the team. Change of atmosphere and communication in the classroom, students work with a change in a not working together, the results may be evidence of achieving the objectives of the educational process. We can design instruction to help modernize existing schools.
