Bakalářská práce Autor: Karolína Gálová Využití školního chromatografu GC-mini pro stanovení methanolu vedle ethanolu ve školní praxi Abstrakt - anglický jazyk The main topic of this work is to investigate the possibilities of using the school gas chromatograph GC-mini in teaching at secondary schools within the topic of chromatographic analysis. Despite the expansion of the method, the teaching of gas chromatography remains rather rare. Specifically, the work focuses on the optimization and determination of methanol alongside ethanol, which is a practically relevant topic for understanding the analysis of alcoholic beverages and methanol-containing samples, and a potentially motivating topic for teaching. The thesis covers the design of experiments, methodologies, and practical aspects of using the GC-mini chromatograph. Additionally, it includes a survey of school educational programs to determine the occurrence of chromatography and gas chromatography in secondary school curricula. As part of this work, laboratory experiments aimed at determining the content of methanol and ethanol in various samples were conducted. The results of these experiments provide information on the efficiency and reliability of the GC-mini school chromatograph for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of these substances....

Modelovací úlohy - Role strategií při procesu transformace mentální představy do formální reprezentace
GEYER, Jakub
Modeling tasks, consisting in the transformation of a mental image into the formal representation, very often occur in the study of computer science, mathematics, but also in other technical and non-technical fields. From the didactic point of view, it is interesting in modeling tasks (among others), which methods/procedures solvers (students) use to manage more demanding complex tasks. It is often possible to encounter students, who have significant problems solving complex tasks (or they are not able to solve them satisfactorily at all), even though they did not have any problems with similar simpler tasks before during the course. A possible explanation can be seen in the suboptimal use of modeling strategies (e.g. divide&conquer, iterative approach, etc.) or their total absence. This research is focused on the analysis of the role of strategies in modeling tasks, the possibilities of their support/development and teaching methods. The study is conducted, which aimed to analyze the possible impact of strategies in the procedures of university students in solving modeling tasks in the areas of 3D modeling and databases. The goal of the research was also to analyze the possibility of generalization of modeling strategies and their transferability between domains with different type of model.
