Vaculíková, Petra ; Doc.Ing.arch.Irena Fialová (referee) ; Kroupa, Petr (referee) ; Rudiš, Viktor (referee) ; Pelčák, Petr (advisor)
Changes of physical, functional and social structure of the city as a result of the group of variously interrelated changes and events that are fundamentally participate in the formation of the image of the urban development. This doctoral thesis is based on research of the historical city center - squared. First part is focuses on the historical development of urban texture of the inner city of Brno and its squares. We are talking about Square of Freedom, Vegetable Market, Dominican square, Jacobs square, Capuchins square and Šilingrovo square. Based on individual characteristics, describing the emergence of morphological and functional changes in Brno square was created urban classification of basic types of square. City of Brno, as the capital city of region has a significant position in the structure of settlements. This fact has become one of the key aspects for the selection of examples of European cities and their squares. The second part of the thesis is based on comparative studies of different types of historical squares. In order to define the value of public spaces, it is necessary to look at the public places of historical perspective and deal with the causes that led to the decline of the importance and role of public spaces. Austrian capital cities of region (Graz, Linz, Klagenfurt and Salzburg) will be examined with regard to similar climatic conditions and a common cultural and historical context of the city. Based on urban patterns and graphic diagrams of each square are observed inner relationships between shapes of square, form, function and location of the position of an artwork. Research areas are also focused on comparing aspects of transport, green space, functional use, visual unit and social activities. The public space is shaped by a set of characteristics that promote diversity and interdependence of functions. For a better interpretation of the results have been established two benchmarks - symbol of identification with the place and the Magnet (function and filling space). The objective of the thesis is to define an aspects and elements of space which were involved in square use.

The master's thesis addresses the topic of developing computational thinking at the primary school. The theoretical part defines the fundamental concepts of computational thinking and its components, digital literacy. The theoretical part also includes an analysis of the curriculum for elementary school and its changes in the field of computer science focused on the primary school. The basic concepts of computational thinking are characterized, and the issues in the curriculum in the Czech Republic and abroad are outlined. The theoretical part includes an analysis of textbooks for teaching computational thinking at the primary school, mainly analyzing the textbook by Berki, J., and Drábková, J. (2020) Foundations of Informatics for the primary school, along with specific chapters for its practical verification. The practical part describes the preparation and implementation of a research survey at the primary school. The aim was to assess the level of computational thinking among students, conduct lessons using the informatics textbook, and determine the impact of teaching on the development of computational thinking.

Botlík Nuc, Tomáš ; Černochová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Ondráková, Jana (referee) ; Fialová, Irena (referee)
The dissertation deals with the issue of multimedia language labs in foreign language teaching. The research study is based on the assumption that the lab helps to practice the development of students' oral expression and how the use of the lab is connected to autonomous learning, self- assessment and multilingualism. The work examines under what conditions the SmartClass Robotel lab can be used in the teaching of the German language at a secondary school. Sixty- nine high school students took part in the research conducted in the form of a case study between December 2021 and February 2022. Data from the input and output records of the oral speech recordings of individual students have been used as the main source of the research. Each recording was evaluated by the student himself, his classmate and the teacher. The assessment focused on content and oral expression, lexical, grammatical and phonological competence. The evaluation also included an assessment of the quality and identification of the speech's weaknesses. The results show that, under certain conditions, teaching in a language lab can make it easier for teachers to implement conversational activities and allow students to work at their own pace and choose the order of activities. The benefit for teachers is the ability to collect data...

Jakubička, Tomáš ; Černochová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Fialová, Irena (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on pupils' motivation to learning in ICT at vocational secondary schools and colleges. The main educational goal of ICT as a subject is to develop pupils' ICT literacy. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with motivation as a pedagogical concept and appropriate teaching approaches to it. An analysis of ICT subjects in the curriculum of the Framework Education Programmes for vocational secondary schools and colleges contributes to form an integral part of the theoretical base. The empirical part is divided into three mini-surveys carried out at a vocational secondary school and training institution in Liberec. The first was a questionnaire for pupils to discover what motivates them to study ICT. The second was a questionnaire for teachers which aimed to find out if and how teachers apply and exploit pupils' ICT literacy in their teaching of vocational ICT as a specialist subject. The third element was interviews with ICT teachers with the aim of investigating how ICT teachers understand the role of ICT as a subject and how they develop their pupils' ICT literacy. The results of all three were then analysed in relation to the question, "What supports and helps motivate pupils to learn ICT?" The findings obtained were consequently applied in the design of...
