Science worksheets on the topic "Water" for teaching in a school garden
Kakešová, Kristýna ; Janštová, Vanda (advisor) ; Svobodová, Silvie (referee)
Most elementary schools in the Czech Republic have a school garden, but despite frequently emphasized benefits of fieldwork, it is difficult for many schools to include their school garden in their classes. Therefore, the main goal of this diploma thesis was to create and test worksheets for teaching in a school garden at the second grade of elementary school (i.e. pupils 12 to 15 years old). Ten worksheets are focused on the topic "water"; four of them are dedicated to measurement of precipitation. The created materials were tested at a small rural school, whose school garden has been modernized in recent years. After minor modifications, the worksheets are useable in all school gardens. This thesis also contains created materials - worksheets with author's solutions and methodological manuals for teachers. The second goal of this thesis was to determine the effect of teaching with these worksheets on the pupils' attitude towards the school garden and the environment. To collect data from 34 respondents, I used modified standardized research tools Inclusion of Nature in Self (INS) and Two Major Environmental Values (2-MEV), the research was based on pre-test/post-test design. The achieved results show a positive effect on the pupils' attitude towards the school garden, the effect on the pupils'...

Botany Field Trips
Brabcová, Eliška ; Novotný, Petr (advisor) ; Kroufek, Roman (referee)
This bachelor thesis is devoted to the problem of field education in botany. Based on the available international and Czech literature, the thesis points out the current change in the attitude of the academic and lay public towards botany and the related educational implications. It also presents the dichotomy in the concept of field education - the traditional Czech approach of organizing field trips and the Scandinavian model of uteskole. Furthermore, the thesis questions the benefit of the conventional division of the field trip into stages - preparation, realisation and evaluation - in the context of striving for a more regular and conceptual field education. Within the actual implementation of field education in botany, it discusses selected aspects of nature walks, visits to botanical or school gardens. It bases the value of field-based botany education on the positive results of monitoring the achievement of cognitive and affective learning goals. It also emphasizes its importance in the relationship between the teacher and the group of students. At the same time, the thesis takes a critical look at field-based botany education through the general and individual barriers to its realization. In the context of the contemporary world, it focuses on the implementation of digital technologies in...

Outdoor education with cross-curricular overlaps between natural history and Czech language and literature
ŠOLCOVÁ, Veronika
The thesis contains a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is written in the form of a literature search from Czech and foreign sources concerning field education in general, intersubject overlaps and specific teaching methods suitable for the outdoor environment. The aim of the practical part was to create a series of summary tasks set in an outdoor environment and then to evaluate some of them in practice. The tasks contain cross-curricular overlaps between Czech language and literature and natural history and are intended for primary school pupils in Key Stage 2. Validation in practice confirmed the positive impact of the proposed activities on the achievement of cognitive goals by 8th grade pupils.
