Use of Authoring Tools to Create Physical Models and Simulations
KOREŠ, Jaroslav
This thesis deals about the use of authoring tools in physics, especially in creating physical models and simulations, and their contribution to different areas of teaching. The use of authoring tools is in the thesis closely discussed in connection with the teaching theories of constructivism and pedagogical content knowledge. The specific content of these theories and the reasons for their links to reference topics are listed in the theoretical part. Here is the survey of the current state of ICT tools with regard to their potential application in the teaching of physics. These are some examples of the selected authoring tools and examples of their use. In the experimental part of the thesis are first formulated research questions and the research hypotheses. That will be tested in the research. The research question was: "Has the use of authoring tools significant improvement in pupils' understanding and application of the curriculum?". The reason for this formulation and relevant hypothesis are described in the paper. Based on the research hypotheses was chosen research approach and used method - in this case pedagogical experiment. In the research were involved in various schools and teachers. The content of testing the effect of authoring tools were also different curriculum in physical education. Individual experiments and their results are described in separate chapters. In each description is a didactic analysis and justification of the selected used simulation maded by authoring tool. For each experiment, the values are given statistical probability of confirming/rejecting the hypothesis. In conclusion, the overall evaluation experiments and on this basis are recommended ways to implement authoring tools into teaching. There were described some other suggestions to use authoring tools, going beyond the experiment, based on the author's personal experience and teaching practice.

KOLČAVOVÁ, Zuzana
This thesis deals with biology and science pre-servis teachers´ availability to teach by using of the constructivistic approach, particularly the preconceptions. Data collecting was based on the questionnaires which were distributed through 160 informants from four university faculties educating teachers within January ? March 2010. The answers of the informants were categorized and assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively. It was found that most of informants didn't know the expressions ?constructivistic teaching?, ?constructivism? and ?preconceptions?. They either had never heard these terms or they simply hadn't remembered them. While the meaning of the expression ?constructivism? was estimated by almost one half of the informants, the meaning of the term ?preconceptions? was familiar for less than a quarter of the informants. By the given example of the topic ?photosynthesis? and ?digestion? in the form of model preconceptions we found that the informants´ level of professional knowledge is quite high and they are able to teach this topic.
