From North to South: A picture guide to the forest habitats of Atlantic Europe
Valtrová, Žofie ; Šizling, Arnošt Leoš (advisor) ; Hanel, Lubomír (referee)
In this diploma thesis I tried to show in a way understandable to high school students, how the landscape of Atlantic Europe changes from north to south. I have created a handbook, that can be used in lessons, called: From North to South: A Picture Guide to the forest habitats of Atlantic Europe. In that handbook, we can follow the landscape change on the profile pictures made in 50 kilometres distances. The pictures are complemented by a textbook on Europe's biomes with a climatic specification, characteristic plants and animals and their relationships to the given environment, and the role of a man in these biomes. The main text is supplemented by an interesting information given separately in boxes. In the second part of the thesis I focused on using my handbook in teaching. I have proposed several ideas that can serve as an inspiration for teachers. This guide tries to make an interdisciplinary link between biology and geography lessons, that will enable students to realize the continual changes among particular biomes in Europe. KEYWORDS biomes, landscape, Atlantic Europe, natural habitats, biology, geography

Attitudes of UK FTVS students to summer camps for children
Procházka, Petr ; Psohlavec, Lukáš (advisor) ; Šafránek, Jiří (referee)
Title: Attitudes of UK FTVS students to summer camps for children Objectives: The main aim of this work is to find out what was benefit of children 's camps for UK FTVS students and what they are currently attitude. Methods: The research was divided into two parts. In part A I used the method of questioning followed by analysis. In testing were 175 participants. I interviewed students of the Charles University FTVS and it took period from June 2018 to July 2019. The data were subsequently evaluated using classical statistical methods and interpreted by graphs and frequency tables. Part B conducted semi-structured interviews with 9 probands who were selected as a representative sample based on Part A interviews. The data were evaluated by basic statistical methods, exactly by using the frequency table and Likert's scaling method to determine the level of attitudes among respondents. Results: In part A we find out that only 7% of the individuals in the sample had never participated in a children's summer camp. It was also found that fourteen respondents of the whole sample had a negative attitude to the camps, equivalent is 8%. Participants of one or two camps reported a negative attitude in 28% (ten of twenty six). In the second group, three to six camps, it was 5% of cases (three of fifty three)....

The natural environment of the planet Venus
Dergunova, Alexandra ; Kalvoda, Jan (advisor) ; Šobr, Miroslav (referee)
In the paper the current state of knowledge about the natural environment of planet Venus is described. The present state of affairs was determined by studies and evaluation of available data in specialized publications. The aims of presented bachelor thesis are in description of the planet as a whole, its atmosphere, landforms and internal structure. Special attention is attended to morphography of the Venus surface with an intention to characterize the main morphostructural landforms and related types of relief- forming processes. The physical and chemical processes operated in partial spheres of the planet substantially determinate the evolution of its landforms. Morphographical arrangement of landforms on the Venus is documented by a global topographic map and by groups of selected remote sensing images of the planetary surface. The current state of knowledge of the Venus topography can already be used to systematical investigation of the origin and intensity of landform changes, namely during the long-term development of its lithospherical crust by endogenous processes. Documentation of these morphogenetic processes and phenomena in up to the present published results of space missions was a stimulus for the proposal of morphostructural interpretation of main types of the Venus landforms....

Education in the geographical context of the Ladakh's village Mulbeck
Kalusová, Adéla ; Novotný, Josef (advisor) ; Kolomazníková, Jana (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on primary education in India with own empirical case study of the village of Mulbeck in the region of Ladakh in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Author explored the role of education in the lives of local residents and the function of the Spring Dales Public School in the specific context of the local cultural and natural environment. Own field research was realized through the author's stay in the village as a volunteer placement organized by an NGO Brontosauři in the Himalayas that supports the Spring Dale Public School. The collection of data took place during July 2017. The author conducted 31 semi-structured interviews with various local agents who are directly or indirectly involved in the school functioning. The interviews were analyzed using qualitative research methods. The findings from interviews suggested that both the access and perceived importance of education has change significantly, while it is not only considered as a major factor of a quality employment but of the general development of Mulbeck. This is related to structural changes in employment with more people looking for a work in the tertiary sector. Modernization and structural change, nevertheless, do not seem to weaken perceived importance of traditions and local culture but, on the...

Development and structure of early medieval settlement in northwest Bohemia
KRAUS, Miroslav
The thesis summarizes and subsequently describes and evaluates contemporary knowledge, development and structure of early medieval settlement in the northwestern part of the Czech Republic. Emphasis is placed on the spatial relation of settlements and burial grounds to local selected features of the natural environment, which is evaluated on the basis of graphical representation and statistical processing in individual periods of czech early Middle Ages. The spatial context and the distribution of the settlement in the landscape are also evaluated. Spatial settlement properties are processed into catalogs and are handled in GIS and statistical tools. The resulting model is rather of a general nature because it is the first comprehensive treatment of the early medieval settlement in this part of Bohemia and is thus discussed from a methodological point of view.

The empirical part deals with the qualitative research of teaching activities of colleague from the discipline Teaching for kindergarten and their possibilities and the experience with the development of sensory sensibility and inclusion of this practice to tuition of Art Education. The practical part analyses the transformation of children in social skills, made within long-term sensory art project. The transformation of children is documented by proposals activities and interdisciplinary linkage from other subjects, from which the process of art creating based on, or conversely towards to, by art creating, further competencies, which are developed in the project,...
