Chmátalová, Anna ; Presslerová, Pavla (advisor) ; Kucharská, Anna (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the area of self-assessment of reading in 2nd grade primary school students. The aim of this thesis is to analyse how 2nd grade students evaluate themselves in their reading and what reading behaviour they exhibit. The theoretical part is devoted to the terminological definition of terms related to the area of reading. The next section characterizes the adolescent reader with the support of Czech and foreign research that has been conducted on this target group. The third section introduces the concept of self-evaluation and its transformation within the framework of life development. The conclusion is devoted to the specifics of reader self-assessment. The empirical part is devoted to the actual conduct of the research, from the selection of respondents through data collection, to its results from questionnaires and interview analysis. In the empirical part, the Reading Self-Evaluation Questionnaire was used, which was tested in the Czech environment with Grade 1 students. The next aim of this thesis will be to verify whether it is also a suitable instrument for primary school children in grade 2. The questionnaire was supplemented by semi-structured interviews, which extended the qualitative analysis with deeper insights into the reading self-image of adolescent...

Entrace knowledge and ideas about the regions and regional cities of the Czechia among pupils in the 6th and 7th grades of primary schools.
OLIVA, Petr
This thesis deals with the entrance knowledge and ideas of 6th and 7th grade elementary school students about regions and regional cities of the Czechia. The main aim of the thesis is to map and reveal the real level of knowledge and ideas of pupils with the help of a research questionnaire, which was mainly focused on the orientation of pupils in the blind map, knowledge test and self-assesssment of pupils based on personal likes or dislikes for individual regions and regional cities of the Czechia. A total of 356 pupils participated in the research. All the resulting data obtained from the questionnaires were further evaluated and discussed in the analytical part of the thesis. Furthermore, the differences in the results based on the observed parameters of this thesis were investigated. These represented knowledge differences between classes, gender and type of schools, according to their location. The analytical part then leads to the practical part, which brings concrete suggestions and topics through the created teaching materials that can be used in practice during geography lessons. The education materials, which contain the practical part of the work, are created on the basis of research results and are aimed at anchoring and developing pupils knowledge and awareness of the individual regions and regional cities of the Czechia.

Graph theory exercises in lower secondary computer science
Kutiš, Martin ; Černochová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Štípek, Jiří (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on the integration of graph theory into computer science education at the lower secondary level. The theoretical part introduces the basic concepts of graph theory and typical problems that are solved within it. Furthermore, it describes the integration of graph problems in the revised Framework Educational Programme for Basic Education and specifies foreign approaches to teaching graph theory in primary and lower secondary schools as described in literature. The current state of implementing graph problems into education is examined through a questionnaire survey among computer science teachers. In the empirical part of the thesis, a methodological procedure for incorporating graph theory into teaching is proposed, consisting of two separate instructional blocks. This procedure is subsequently tested in teaching at three lower secondary schools and two multi-year grammar schools. The evaluation of the testing is based on the analysis of evaluation forms from participating teachers and semi-structured interviews conducted with them. Finally, a set of recommendations is compiled for further utilization of the prepared educational materials. The resulting proposal for integrating graph theory into teaching is ready for application by other practicing teachers and may...

Řezníčková, Adéla ; Svobodová, Silvie (advisor) ; Teodoridis, Vasilis (referee)
Thesis Title: Birds in Kralovska obora Stromovka as an educational topic Author: Bc. Adéla Řezníčková University supervisor: PhDr. Ing. Silvie Svobodová, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The thesis explores the utilization of Královská obora Stromovka, an urban park, as a suitable location for organizing excursions and environmental educational programs focused on birds. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the concept of zoological topics, specifically bird- related subjects, within the curriculum framework and examines their treatment in textbooks. Furthermore, the theoretical section provides a characterization of the chosen location from both historical and current perspectives, along with an overview of bird protection regulations in European and Czech legislation. The concluding portion of the theoretical part outlines excursions as an educational method and environmental education program. The primary objective of the thesis is to develop, implement, and evaluate an environmental education program that integrates students' theoretical knowledge of birds and principles of environmental education with practical learning in a natural setting, allowing students to connect with their local environment. Three excursions were proposed and conducted, each taking place during a different season. To gather feedback,...

Syntax as a Critical Part of the Czech Language Education at Upper Primary School
Vyhnánková, Lenka ; Hájková, Eva (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eliška (referee)
The thesis deals with critical points in teaching syntax at the lower secondary level of elementary school. The aim of the thesis is to identify the causes of the teacher's attitude towards syntax as a critical point in the teaching of Czech language at the lower secondary level of elementary school and to determine whether the goal of teaching syntax is fulfilled, which we consider to be the development of students' abilities and skills aimed at improving their language practice. Teacher attitudes are investigated using a questionnaire survey. Based on the findings from this survey, an analysis of entrance exams and a second questionnaire survey are also conducted, which aims to confirm and refine some of the findings from the first questionnaire survey, mainly related to the reduction of syntactic teaching content. The thesis further examines students' attitudes towards syntactic content and analyzes their work from a syntactic perspective. In the theoretical part, we describe theoretical background, comment on critical points in teaching syntax and the syntax system itself, describe the framework educational program, textbooks, and syntactic teaching content for individual grades. In the practical part, we first introduce the research methodology and set the assumptions that are evaluated in the...

Use of an Online Escape Game in the Teaching of Biology at Lower Secondary School
Vopatová, Eliška ; Svobodová, Silvie (advisor) ; Teodoridis, Vasilis (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the creation and use of educational online escape games in the teaching of biology at the lower secondary school. As part of this thesis, an original online escape game dedicated to the curriculum about carnivoras called Escape from the carnivoras pavilion was created. Based on the theoretical presentation of the activation methods of teaching, the escape game is defined as a unique teaching method. Creation of this game is based on the principles of escape rooms as well as the specifics of educational escape games. Accompanying materials were also created in order to use the Escape from the carnivoras pavilion escape game as a comprehensive learning tool. These materials were a worksheet and a questionnaire for self-assessment of pupils. Together with the game, these were included in the teaching block in two seventh grades of lower secondary school. Its implementation provided space for an overall evaluation of the escape game based on the observation of the pupils' activity and their feedback. Testing the created online escape game in my own teaching proved its functionality from a technical point of view and didactic potential despite minor flaws in the game structure. Subsequent research among 110 teachers outlined the possibilities of further use of the designed...
