Vávrů, Tereza ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kleňhová, Michaela (referee)
Analysis of the secondary education in the Vysočina Region in context of demographic development Abstract The aim of this thesis is to show the link between the demographic development and the development of the educational system, particularly on the example of the demographic development of the Vysočina Region and its impact on the secondary education in this region. The Vysočina Region was chosen because it is characterized by numerous specifics that distinguish it from other regions (e.g. a large number of small municipalities, rural and traditional characteristics of the region and lower education attainment of the population). Firstly, the current demographic development of the region is evaluated, secondly the development of the educational system is evaluated in its context. Afterwards, we examine the development of the number of secondary schools, the structure of their fields of education and their territorial distribution in the region. We also evaluate the current capacity of the secondary schools. The core of the analysis is the creation of derived forecast of the number of pupils in the various districts of the region through the use of rates of participation in secondary education in the districts. Because the estimate is carried out at the district level, it is possible to take into account...

Hlaváčová, Lucie ; Teodoridis, Vasilis (advisor) ; Králík, Miroslav (referee) ; Švecová, Milada (referee)
An evolution is considered the single greatest unifying theory in biology. Therefore, evolution is a crucial topic from the perspective of didactics of biology because it reaches contemporary paradigm of science education. These doctoral thesis deals with the educative aspects in the field of evolutionary biology. Given the fact that educational content and understanding of causal patterns in science may be influenced by the sociocultural background, the whole research is carried out in comparison with Great Britain. The main aim of the thesis is carried out three successive analyzes. First, the occurrence and the content of definitions of evolutionary terms in Czech and British science or biology textbooks have been compared (16 Czech and 16 British textbooks). Data were evaluated using content analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. Subsequently, a comparison of teaching evolution has been made using a questionnaire survey (350 Czech and 122 British teachers) and interviews (10 Czech and 7 British teachers). Finally, a comparison of the Czech and British pupils' knowledge and opinions on specific evolutionary topics were obtained via a questionnaire (964 Czech and 97 British pupils). Statistically significant differences between Czech and British respondents were verified by Chi-square test...

Hůlová, Lenka ; Hanušová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Váchová, Alena (referee)
This thesis Teachers' premedical first-aid knowledges researched at selected secondary schools deals with basic rules and procedures related to the pre-medical first aid. The major problem of the research is to carry out a survey based on questionnaires which are supposed to demonstrate what the teachers' level of knowledge regarding the pre-medical first aid at various types of secondary schools is (comprehensive school, secondary medical school, secondary technical school, and secondary business school) and to compare the results. Furthermore, the thesis endeavours to elaborate appropriate solution for particular schools on the basis of the results. The theoretical part is devoted to current pre-medical first aid procedures applied to particular types of injuries. The primary method of the theoretical part is the study of scientific literature, articles published in specialized magazines, and credible Internet sources. The practical part is elaborated on the basis of the results gathered by means of questionnaires distributed among selected secondary schools. This part incorporates statistical and graphical representation of the results consequent upon the research, and in addition suggestion for solutions at selected secondary schools.
