Zoological preparation techniques in school practice
Odcházelová, Tereza ; Mourek, Jan (advisor) ; Šíma, Petr (referee)
This thesis consists of description of chosen methods of permanent macroscopic zoological preparations. I verified successfully all the methods in practice and in case of methodological difficulties I optimized them for use in the school environment. In this work I answered the questions that could come up throughout the preparation process, for example: how to preserve the animal correctly; where to acquire the animal legally; what is the best way to maintain the animal's natural colour; what materials to use for the preparation and so on. According to current approaches I created not only a text based version of the manual of all verified preparation methods, but also an online version in form of a web site. To clarify the methods I included video sequences, photographs and schemes. With this e- learning course a teacher will be able to extend the school collection with his own preparations and also will be able to recognize what significant characteristics to point out. As a part of my work I have done a questionnaire focused on using various types of equipment in biology lectures. I have asked primary school teachers and high school teachers from all regions in the Czech Republic. This questionnaire was sent online and 322 out of 1636 people responded. The answers tell us that teachers...

Communities of protists and invertebrate animals in freshwater aquaria and possibilities of their use in teaching
Hásková, Barbora ; Mourek, Jan (advisor) ; Hanel, Lubomír (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the hidden but very diverse community of protists and microscopic invertebrates in freshwater aquaria. Samples of these micro-organisms were obtained from microscopic slides submerged in aquaria for several weeks. The main output of this thesis is a multimedia didactical atlas of characteristic protists and invertebrates inhabiting freshwater aquaria. In total, eleven members from two phyla of protists and six phyla of invertebrate animals are presented using own original micrographs and short videosequences. The atlas was prepared in two forms - a text document and a web page. Potential of the atlas for use in biology teaching and extracurricular education is discussed. Key words: zoology, protists, invertebrates, teaching, didactics, communities

Education trail along "Blažejovický potok" brook
Neubauerová, Kristýna ; Holcová, Katarína (advisor) ; Matějka, Dobroslav (referee)
This thesis deals with the characteristic of the Vysočina region and with a project of founding an educational natural trail "Povodím Blažejovického potoka". The thesis consists two parts. The first theoretic part describes the Vysočina region in light of geomorphological, biological, geological, natur protection and in which chapter is emphasization the area, in which is situated the lane of educational trail. It is compilatory text, which is composion like guide book to the Vysočina region for teachers, who decide for visit with their students not only this education trail, but another places in the Vysočina region too. They can find in the text another interesting places to visit. On the end of theoretic part are two chapters, historical interests and explication the concept of the education trail. The second, practical part include individual information boards with thematic content and their graphic layout. The education trail has 7 km with 12 information boards. It is the combination education trail, it has 1 introductory board, 3 boards with historical informations, 1 geological board, 2 botanical board, 1 zoological board, 2 ecological boards and 1 board about technical memory. The education trail goes on well walkable terrain along the metalled road. It started at Rachyně, throught Blažejovice and...

The effect of different management strategies on the dynamics of saproxylic insect habitats
ŠEBEK, Pavel
The thesis concerns studies on habitats utilized by insects associated with deadwood. It presents a review of current issues in the conservation of saproxylic biodiversity. The effects of active intervention on temperate lowland woodland habitats, such as pollarding or coppicing, are evaluated in terms of their suitability for saproxylic communities and other groups. Further, the importance of open-grown trees for saproxylic diversity is assessed.

The possibilities of the Inquiry-based education in the Vertebrate Biology
JIRÁČKOVÁ, Bára
"The possibilities of the Inquiry-based education (IBE) in the Vertebrate Biology" is the Thesis, whose aim is to chart the possibilities of the teacher in the use of vertebrates in the common lesson. In view of the Laws No.246/1992Coll. and No.114/1992Coll. the possibilities how to use the vertebrates are very restricted. Even a common vertebrate-breeding in a class room is entirely excluded. The method of observation seems to be the most suitable one. The whole theoretical part of the Thesis deals with this method as well as the other methods and already existing tasks of IBE dealing with the vertebrates. There are three new complex tasks in the practical part of the Thesis: "Snapshot Serengeti get to know the fauna of the National Serengeti Park", "Birds in the Winter"and "Birds in the Winter - Excursion to zoo".

Biology knowledge of the 9. year- class pupils at town basic schools
NOVÁKOVÁ, Eliška
This thesis deals with the testing of knowledge testing of the natural history of pupils in 9th classes of primary schools through didactic test. The knowledge of natural history was tested with 118 pupils (67 boys a 51 girls) in districts ofPříbram a Mirovice. The best knowledge of pupils was found in the field of zoology, and the lowest knowledge in the field of inanimate nature. The results were compared with the results of the survey in primary schools in Brno, in district of Příbram, in Kolín and in South Bohemia region (2012). At village schools pupils demonstrated the highest knowledge in the field of zoology, compared to other regions, where pupils demonstrated the best knowledge of human biology.
