Conception of education in regional museum
Peštová, Petra ; Jakubcová Hajdušková, Lucie (advisor) ; Fulková, Marie (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to map the role of a regional museum in art education. Based on my own experience as a museum education officer I have tried to describe the context of the development of an educational policy of a small museum. By comparing three examples of different educational programmes with clearly stated goals I arranged some participatory active research in which I took part and which I observed. Through analyzing these individual cases and comparing their partial aspects it came to light how beneficial it is for the museum's education officer to participate in developing and arranging the exhibition. Furthermore, these cases prove the point that museum-school communication is of vital importance and the programmes that had been discussed with teachers beforehand reach further and are more meaningful than programmes without consultation. Art education in a regional museum is irreplacable. Not only does it allow contact with the artefacts peculiar to the place where the student/client of the museum lives, but it also brings the possibility to practice other than just rational ways of thinking and perception. It has the capacity to reach out of its own bracket and become an interdisciplinary subject.

Hrstková, Magdaléna ; Uhlířová, Jana (advisor) ; Kropáčková, Jana (referee)
The thesis on "Development and transformation of Czech kindergartens between 1990 and 2012" maps and analyzes proposals for change and the actual changes that have taken place over 22 years in pre-school education. Czech kindergarten passed in the period changes in several areas. In legislation were an important milestone edition of the Education Act (2004) and the framework education programme for pre-school education (2004). After 1990 there was a change of philosophy of viewing a child and its development - a personality-oriented model of pre-school education began to be applied. Transformed were the objectives for pre-school education and training and also the curriculum changed. The questionnaire survey in the practical part of this thesis investigates the view of kindergarten teachers to changes in pre-school practice in the period. The respondents perceive the change, especially in larger freedom in the planning and implementation of educational activities and the emphasis on child development. Teachers endorse the better equipped schools and a wide range of training possibilities for teachers. Conversely, teachers negatively value high class occupancy and financial evaluation of teachers.

The Evaluation of the Geological Educational Program and its Comparison with the Teaching in the Classroom
Pelechová, Kateřina ; Dvořáková, Radka (advisor) ; Poupová, Jana (referee)
The thesis is concerned with appraising the educational program of the Geology Teaching Center Říčany, in particular its influence on the pupils' attitudes towards geology. The benefits of field trips and outdoor education have been observed many times; however, mostly pupils' knowledge or skills were taken into consideration while their attitudes have been investigated fairly recently. Moreover, geology is regarded by pupils as 'the more boring part of nature' and hence I was interested in whether (and how) the non-standard form of education can change the pupils' attitudes towards geology. The objectives of the thesis were 1) to investigate what the pupils' attitudes towards geology are, and 2) to decide whether (and how) the specific geology field trip affects these attitudes and to compare this influence with the one of standard class education. The third, last objective consisted in stating whether the field trip in question will help pupils to understand how sundry topographic features were created. The main research question was stated as follows: How will the field trip affect the pupils' attitudes towards geology in comparison with standard class education covering the same topics? According to results of my investigation, pupils regard geology as the most useless and unpopular branch of...

Malúšová, Klára ; Novotný, Petr (advisor) ; Skýbová, Jana (referee)
This bachelor thesis covers the history as well as the current state of the Bečovská Botanical Garden. It concisely presents natural sciences and the possibility of incorporating field trips and educational programmes into elementary school education. The theoretical part also describes the educational activities offered by the Bečovská Botanical Garden. The following chapters cover the process of creating such educational activities as well as the activity sheets. In Chapter 5, QR codes are introduced, including their history and their use in non-education fields. Finally, QR codes in education are described in connection with the effort to individualize the education processes. The practical part of this thesis focusses on the education programme created by the author for the lower-secondary school pupils as the Botanical Garden does not offer a programme for this age group. The created programme is based on using QR codes when exploring the Bečovská Botanical Garden. It consolidates and expands the pupils' knowledge and puts the newly acquired skills into practice. The programme also requires demonstrating observation skills and the ability to use a map to navigate an unknown area. The activity sheets, which are part of the appendix, have been created to complement the programme. The education...

"Certainly yes" was stated by 1 and "rather...
