Nature Trails (Use of Nature Trails in Teaching in Primary Schools)
Fňukalová, Nikola ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Hanel, Lubomír (referee)
The thesis is focused on nature trails and way of using them for teaching in primary schools, and it can be divided into two main parts. The theoretical part is focused on nature trails, their functions, types, application and also their history in the Czech Republic. Substantial part of this topics is devoted to the rules of building nature trails. Other topics in this theoretical part relate to the nature conservation in the Czech Republic and the environmental education and awareness. Regarding to the theme of nature protection, I focused on the legislation of in the Czech Republic. For it, among other things, must be made allowances when building nature trails. The last section discusses the Protected Landscape Area Žďárské vrchy - area of the Czech Republic, which I chose for my research. The second part of thesis is the research. The aim of the research was to determine whether teachers come while science teaching in the field. And if so, how often. Further questions were focused on the criteria of selection of the nature trail and overall personal experience with nature trails. Key words: nature trail, nature conservation, environmental education

Ethymology of fish designations in Czech and in east Slavonic languages
Pankina, Jevgenija ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Hanel, Lubomír (referee)
This diploma work deals with ethymology of fish designations in Czech and in east Slavonic languages. The designations'origin in each of these languages is explained according to its definition in Czech and Russian ethymological dictionaries. The definition is completed by a large amount of other sources focused on this issue. Every item is compared in both languages and if the found information allows, a conclusion from the comparison is drawn. The work is devided into three chapters. The first chapter deals with the role of the Slavonic languages within the Indoeuropean language family and the historical evolution of the picked Slavonic languages. The second chapter deals with the designation of particular freshwater-fish tribes and geni in the abovementioned languages. It is devided in two parts. The first one focuses on the designation of fish with homogenous origin, the second one focuses on the designations with hererogenous origin. The third chapter consists of columnal lists which create the so-called comparative dictionary. Each columnal list includes comments focused on the description of geographical fish habitation in the past compared to the present time.

Pražská, Nella ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Hanel, Lubomír (referee)
The aim of my bachelor's thesis is to monitor the diet of the Long-eared owl (Asio otus) in wintering grounds in selected localities in the Central Bohemian Region in the vicinity of the Kladno district. These are two localities that have been monitored before, so I continue on previous work with the same focus. The main focus is the collection, analysis of discards and its methodology. I also deal with the change of food of the eared owl during a certain period with a focus on the winter phase in connection with the temperature and the total precipitation in the given localities. The work also deals with the comparison of the results of monitoring the composition of the diet of the Long-eared owl in the same and other localities from previous research.

Use of the Brdy PLA in High-School Science Teaching
Valterová, Bára ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Hanel, Lubomír (referee)
Presented work studies the possibilities of recently established protected landscape area (PLA) Brdy for a systematic use in teaching nature and biology related subjects at schools closely neighboring the PLA. The theoretical part of this diploma work makes a resume of basic information regarding the legal status of PLA's and introduces the reader into main facts about the PLA Brdy focusing on its natural aspects and specifics. General methods of education are reviewed briefly, followed by a more detailed discussion about the educational form of field trip and about possibilities how such trips or excursions to the PLA Brdy can be used in the education practice. The key part of this work is a relatively large questionnaire research for teachers, pupils and students of elementary and secondary schools next to Brdy. It establishes a database of their approaches to and existing experiences with field trips generally and excursions into PLA Brdy in particular. Two separate questionnaires have been used: one for teachers (16 questions, 26 respondents) and another one for pupils and students (30 questions, 152 respondents). Therefore, the database is composed of nearly 5000 responses which have been analyzed. The results show that interviewed pupils and students are clearly interested in the nature and...

Botanical Field Trip to Doubrava River Valley for Lower Secondary Education
Hutař, Kamil ; Pavlasová, Lenka (advisor) ; Andreska, Jan (referee)
Nature trail "The valley of river Doubrava" connecting the village Bílek and the city Chotěboř in Železné hory, offers many possibilities on how to effectively include and use its surroundings in botanical and environmental education, which is the main goal of this diploma thesis. Theoretical part covers the characteristics of natural conditions of the nature trail territory as well as its significance and function. This part also describes, how this excursion fits in the Framework Education Programme for Elementary Education. Didactical part broadly introduces methodical plan of the excursion. This includes the verification and evaluation of the excursion. The aim of the excursion is to deepen and revise botanical knowledge and natural relations of individual locations of the nature trail with a connection to environmental education and nature preservation. The final chapter of the thesis offers teachers practical ideas on how to use the plants variety of the Doubrava Valley in botanical and environmental education. The thesis also includes my own photo documentation throughout the whole excursion. These pictures not only draw near the work when fulfilling tasks and activities to students, but also demonstrate the diversity and uniqueness of a region, where the excursion takes place.

The Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo, Linnaeus, 1758) and the Development of the Number of its Nesting Sites in the Czech Lands
Hašpl, Filip ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Hanel, Lubomír (referee)
The presented work deals with the development of the population of the Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) in the Czech Republic in the period 1940 - 1979. The data are obtained from the archive of the Ringing Station of the National Museum in Prague and supplemented from available literature. The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) is our largest owl, which currently occurs in Europe, Asia and North Africa. However, especially in European countries, it has been abundantly hunted in recent history and its population is still recovering to this day. The work presents a brief history of man's relationship with this owl and describes its difficult path to legal protection. It also briefly presents the known nesting sites and the history of ringing of this owl before the years thoroughly examined in this work. The work also documents the increase in the number of eagle owls in the territory of our state during the 20th century (the lowest number of recorded nests in one year in the observed years is 0 and the highest 21 nests), including re-occupation of the area where the owl was at the turn of the 19th and 20th century completely exterminated. Furthermore, these data on the occurrence are processed into maps and tables, on which we can clearly see the locations of the owl's nesting grounds, which were...

This thesis builds on my bachelor thesis "Selected mammals in elementary and secondary education". It deals with the opinions of 8th and 9th grade pupils of elementary schools on the dangers posed by selected mammal species. Among the selected species in this work are brown bear (Ursus arktos), wolf (Canis lupus), lynx (Lynx lynx), fox (Vulpes vulpes), dog (Canis lupus familiaris), and wild boar (Sus strofa). All these animals are found in the territory of the Czech Republic. In addition to the perception of dangers posed by these mammals, the thesis also ascertains knowledge of and attitude towards these selected species. The pupils also expressed their opinions about dog breeds and stated whether they currently had a dog, or had had one in the past, and if so, what kind it was. The study was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire survey. Questionnaires were given out at primary schools in areas, where some of the beasts abide (brown bear, wolf, lynx). The work also contains information about individual mammal species that were studied as well as the introduction of the domestic dog, its domestication and an overview of dog breeds. Key words: bear, wolf, dog, lynx, fox, wild boar, breeds
