Inquiry-based education in natural sciences
Nedomová, Martina ; Kettnerová, Bohumila (referee) ; Čížková, Věra (advisor)
The first part of this bachelor work deals with international research projects in the field of scientific education TIMSS (Third international mathematics and science study), PISA (Programme for international student assessment) and ROSE (Relevance of science education). The second one focuses on activities of European Union which are concerned with lack of pupil's interest in natural science. Several references from European Union's research have been published in my work. The main purpose of this work is determine how inquiry-based approach could be put into practise. Another part of the work is about this way of education. Some European projects which apply inquiry-based approach to education are described in this part. In the last chapter I presented Czech project "3V" which uses this new approach in biology.

The readiness of pupils and teachers at elementary and secondary schools in an emergency planning zones during an emergency situation at a threatening company.
KRATOCHVÍL, Zdeněk
After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, the national defence education program was terminated. Since it played an important role in the education of the population it was eventually restored in 2003 at primary and secondary schools when a general education program of national defence was introduced. The extend of the education was agreed for 6 hour per year, however, it was not clear in which school subject this matter should be addressed. Since then the government succeed in issuing several conceptual guides describing the outline of the education for both pupils and teachers. The guarantor of the program became the General Directorate of Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, who publishes a large number of training documents. Soon after, the issue is also dealt by the civilian sector that gradually increases numbers of manuals and textbooks focusing on the theme of population protection. Consequently in 2012, they succeed in introducing a compulsory subject called "Human Protection in Emergency Situations" at pedagogical faculties. These progressive measures target to improve a teaching methods and a general education at primary and secondary schools in the area of population preparedness to deal with an emergency situations such as floods or hazardous substances leakage from threatening factories. This work focuses on a level of preparedness of students and teachers in a primary and secondary schools, which are located in areas with a thread of leakage, conflagration or possible explosions. The first theoretical part focuses on the history of a protection of a population in the world and consequently in the Czech Republic. History significantly affects this area. Therefore a considerable portion of a theoretical part has been dedicated to it. In the next section the impact of the current legislation laws to protect the population have been analysed. This analysis focuses especially on laws which are most vital for this field. Following section points out, which governmental and non-governmental institutions have the highest responsibility for the primary and secondary education, the level of population preparedness and the knowledge in the area of the studied subject. The last part of the theoretical work analyses the environment in which the sociological research had been conducted. It contains more information about schools in which the survey had been performed by means of questionnaires. The main purpose of this chapter is to point out the characteristics of the schools. Another part analyses the territory in which the schools are located, their capacity, diversity of students, especially weather there are non-Czech speaking or handicapped pupils, or within which time zone the schools are. All schools also support various extracurricular activities, and the thematic group activities. Based on my practical experience from the lectures I pre-set the level of the students and teachers? preparedness in case of extraordinary events within threatening company is low or almost unsatisfactory. Consequently, the respondents undertook 10 test questions. In the practical part of this work, the questionnaire survey was assessed both by means of statistical methods and a thorough analysis of the individual questions answered. To simplify the evaluation, statistical methods were used by means of negating hypotheses of the proposition. In other words, the level of the preparedness will be satisfactory. Subsequent evaluation of the sociological research revealed that the level is satisfactory at all schools. In general, both students and teachers achieved overall pleasing results. The results of the survey will be provided to the Fire Rescue Service of the Pardubice Region to utilize them to streamline all the activities related to the education of students of the surveyed schools.

Introduction to work in GeoGebra throug problems formulated in a non-traditional way
Saulich, Lukáš ; Vondrová, Naďa (advisor) ; Zhouf, Jaroslav (referee)
The goal of diploma work was to suggest, create and trial in practice a series of problems which teachers can use to introduce students to work with dynamic geometry software (namely GeoGebra) in a way that is effective, time saving and provides students with new experience in mathematics. The literature search was carried out with the goal to identify different ways of this introduction. I have described two research projects in more detail. I have suggested and tested with students 6 mathematical problems connected by a story. The problems are situated against the photographic background, which is visually interesting and shows the connection between mathematics and reality. The teaching experiment showed that the suggested mathematical problems served my purposes well. The work includes the description of some problems that students had when working with GeoGebra. The creation of one of the mathematical problems is analysed in detail and 15 other problems created against a photographic background are given.

Complex simulator of the solar irradiance
Petrov, Roman ; Radil, Lukáš (referee) ; Ptáček, Michal (advisor)
This work consists of a theoretical part, which deals with various ways of mathematical equations to model the thermal photovoltaic cell. Thermal modeling describes a photovoltaic cell temperature, and heat capacity of the photovoltaic cell. This temperature is usually function or directly dependent on the intensity of solar radiation. In the theoretical section explains several ways to model thermal photovoltaic cells. Thermal modeling is outside the scope of this paper, it is mainly the modeling of solar irradiance, which is discussed in detail in the next section, and then in the practical part. The practical part is concerned with constructing mathematical equations that describe the intensity of solar radiation. These mathematical equations are then used to build a mathematical model. The actual mathematical model is created in a computer program PSCAD, wherein the main input parameter of the intensity of solar radiation. This model can simulate the course of the sun, for which it is necessary to set various parameters such as: region, time of day, the seasons, but also has a function that is essential for modeling of solar radiation intensity, and it is cloudiness. Cloud is fundamentally changing the size of the radiation intensity, and its direct constituents. After compiling a complex simulator of solar irradiance, this simulator is tested for its validation in form of doing couple of graphical runs of intensity of solar radiation for various locations on Earth, which are time dependent.
