Hoffmann, Jan ; Novotná, Jarmila (advisor) ; Mošna, František (referee)
This thesis Pupils' problem solving strategies at lower and upper secondary level brings a focus on the issue outlined by the name. At the same time, it focuses on pupils' strategies to solve problems that are closely related to information literacy. At first I define basic terms for the area of word problems. Consecutively I focus on the theoretical knowledge from the area of problem solving strategies themselves. The content of the experimental part of the thesis is the survey of pupils' solutions of eight selected tasks, by which I was looking for an answer of the three basic questions of this thesis. My experiment is divided into two branches. The first branch of the experiment took place at the lower level of the multi-year grammar schools. The second branch of the experiment took place at the higher grade of the multi-year grammar schools and, to a small extent, at the secondary school. The theoretical part contains views of various authors on issue of problems and word problems. I present and compare these individual approaches. The result is the demarcation of the terms needed for the experimental part of the work. The main aim of the experimental part of the thesis is to find the answers of three basic questions of this thesis, where I was using data from lower and higher grades of...

THESIS Pupils' problem solving strategies at lower and upper secondary level ABSTRACT Thesis Pupils' problem solving strategies at lower and upper secondary level deals with pupils' strategies of solving mathematical problems that we can observe at primary and secondary school. The theoretical part summarizes basic concepts in the field of mathematical problems and pupils' strategies. The main aim of the experimental part of the thesis is finding new knowledge from this field at the second level of Czech education. I focused primarily on tasks involving data, addiction and statistics, including the concept of a mathematical function that is deeply linked to these educational contents. In the experimental part, there are selected tasks, expected or discovered strategies, statistics of chosen strategies and the success of the solutions and strategies found, in some cases even the transcription of pupils' errors. Keywords Problem, word problem, assignment, strategy, error, analysis, success rate, solving problems.

Premises increase the competitiveness of consumer cooperatives in regions
HOFFMANN, Jan
Main purpose of this thesis was based on the analysis of the current situation and retail trends suggest the possibility of increasing competitiveness of consumer cooperatives, improve their market position and reach expected level of customer services in Czech retail market. Responses of consumer cooperatives customers correspond with other retail market customers. The introduction on the modern technologies is not required by customers and they would rather welcome the enlargement of existing retail services, especially the readable information on the packaging. Consumer cooperatives customers would like to use the loyalty program. The best option in that case would be the loyalty program on the central level to be available to all customers from consumer cooperatives. The implementation of detected solutions would help expand the existing base of consumer cooperatives customers and improve their position in the Czech retail market.
