Pitcher Plants and Their Use in Teaching Botany
Burian, Michal ; Hrouda, Lubomír (advisor) ; Srba, Miroslav (referee)
The major objective of this thesis are carnivorous plants of the genus Nepenthes and their pedagogical and educational usage addressing students of elementary and grammar schools. The first part provides a general description of the Nepenthes plants, often called tropical pitcher plants due to their pitcher-shaped leaves that function as a passive pitfall trap. Moreover, the field research on the Nepenthes digestive fluid acidity was undertaken at Borneo. Plant's acidity was measured by the pH meter with glass electrode. The results obtained prove pH level differences for various Nepenthes species. In addition, pH level differences in between the fluid from freshly opened pitcher and an older fluid were observed. All results are cross-validated with the values reported in literature. On the basis of the results of the field research, didactic part is assembled. The didactic part consists of the Nepenthes general description and proposal of educational activities aiming at the botany popularization in elementary and grammar schools. Subsequently, the method proposed is tested in biology classes of the second grade of elementary school. The results reveal a positive influence of the method on student's interest in botany.

The Education of Botanica on the Primary and Second Level of the Elementary School
Veselská, Tatiana ; Skýbová, Jana (advisor) ; Pavlasová, Lenka (referee)
Issued thesis is engaged in comprehensive system of education of Botany in primary schools. There are problems viewed of the educational interconnection between the first and second grades. It's not the main goal to find a solution of these problems. It only tries to highlight the topic. Educational forms, methods and curriculum documents, connected to teaching of Botany in primary schools, are introduced and summarized in the first theoretical part of this thesis. Its role is to give theoretical base for teaching. Practical point of view is included in the second part. This part's goal is to give information about contemporary practice in primary schools and available posibilities. It shows table comparison of Biology textbooks for the first and the second grade of primary schools. Then it deals with questionnaire research which studies the situations connected to Biology teaching in primary schools in the Czech Republic. The questionnaire research bring information about the amount of using school gardens and parks due to Biology teaching and teachers' opinions interconnection with students' knowledge. The last part of practical part is focused on creating educational materials and suggestions for recognizing skills of wood plants in school gardens and parks. It also develops students' attitude...

Scientific and Institutional Activities of Bohumil Němec at Charles University
Loginov, Ivan ; Hermann, Tomáš (advisor) ; Žárský, Viktor (referee)
Bohumil Němec ranks among the most remarkable figures of Czech science. At the beginning of the 20th century he made a significant contribution to the explanation of plant gravitropism and to the establishment of the Institute for plant physiology at the Faculty of Science at Charles University. Besides that he also studied plant regeneration, fertilization and nuclear division. In my thesis I processed scientific and popular scientific articles by Němec and used secondary sources to analyze his overall activity at the university in historical context. Thesis output is structured overview of Bohumil Němec's activities which can be used for the follow-up research.
