Sedlecký, Libor ; Albrechtová, Jana (advisor) ; Janštová, Vanda (referee)
The main aim of this diploma thesis was creation of functional experiments and supporting teaching materials for high school students which would clearly demonstrate the processes of photomorphogenesis in plants. Proposed experiments had to be verified in practice on the basis of their reliability, repeatability and reproducibility in schools. It was necessary to drew up the educational materials for each experiment focused on observation of photomorphogenesis plant's reactions. These materials give students the basics of scientific work and specifically they increase the interest in experimental plant biology. The first part of the thesis is literary introduction that provides the theoretical background to the topic of photomorphogenesis for teachers. It summarizes the current of the art mechanisms and manifestations of photomorphogenesis processes of plants. The second didactic part of the introduction deals with the framing up teaching of plant physiology into current curricula of education in the Czech Republic. For the formativ of educational materials experiments had to be designed to demonstrate reliably basic photomorphogenetical processes. Three experiments were designe dat: 1. plant phototropism, 2. negative plant phototropism and 3. plant scotomorphogenesis.To select these experiments I...

Oršošová, Lenka ; Syřiště, Ivo (advisor) ; Hanková, Zdeňka (referee)
Messages delivered by the media are often used as a source of authentic texts in language teaching, yet there is not a sufficient amount of works dealing with the connection between media education and language teaching. The theoretical part of this thesis, therefore, tries to describe this relationship from the perspective of media studies, linguistics and language teaching methodology. The aim of this work is to create teaching materials incorporating media education into teaching English as a foreign language. The materials consist of worksheets for students and methodological support for teachers. Key words media education, language teaching, authentic text, context, curricular documents, teaching materials, worksheets, methodological support

Term of evolution and its understanding by students of secondary schools and high schools.
Müllerová, Lucie ; Teodoridis, Vasilis (advisor) ; Pavlasová, Lenka (referee)
The term of evolution and its understanding by students of secondary schools and high schools This Master's thesis deals with the conception of evolutionary topic in schools and textbooks. It introduces education systems and curricular documents of England, Scotland and the Czech Republic. Based on this information an analysis of biology textbooks was made, which was focused on the theme of evolution. The research included 62 textbooks distributed by 27 different publishers. Comparative SWOT analysis of these textbooks has shown that the concept of biology in general is presented differently, what is also reflected in the interpretation of the studies of evolution. The questionnaire research based on those findings was done in the Czech Republic. It is focused on secondary school and high school pupil's knowledge and their personal opinions about this topic. 586 pupils took part in this research. It was found that in the context of evolutionary processes the pupils have problems to use commonly known biological, or evolutionary terms (e.g. adaptation, evolution of the organisms). On the other hand some pupils can easily define some more complicated evolutionary topics such as Neo-Darwinism. Pupils have quite various personal opinions on the issue of the evolution. Some of them are not interested in...

Program education of citizens in the field of population, with special emphasis on disabled persóna
MAZÁK, Tomáš
The aim of this thesis was to analyse the current state of upbringing and education in the field of human protection in emergency situations, with particular emphasis on persons with disabilities. For this purpose, there was implemented a questionnaire survey and there were created two questionnaires a questionnaire for teaching staff at special schools and a questionnaire for their directors in the South Bohemia region. The questionnaire for teaching staff comprised 37 questions and was organized into two thematic sections. The questionnaire was a combination of open and closed questions. The first seven questions were used to obtain the information needed to characterize the investigation file. The first block was focused on respondents' knowledge; questions were focused on the issues of the integrated rescue system, civil protection, first aid and questions of selected emergencies (floods, radiation accident, biological agents), then the knowledge of the recommended ways of behaviour in the development of selected incidents. The aim of the first block of the questionnaire was to find out the awareness of teachers. The second block was aimed at self-education in this field and the assessment of the importance of teaching these issues in schools. The replies of teachers of this thematic bloc served to complement the views, experiences and observations of respondents related to this issue. The questionnaire for directors contained 19 questions. The questionnaire was a combination of open and closed questions. The first 6 questions were used to obtain the information needed to characterize the investigation file. The second part of the questionnaire focused on issues that dealt with school directors' own opinions in the South Bohemia region. The results of the questionnaire were analysed using Excel from Microsoft Office software package. The main objective of this thesis was to determine the awareness of teachers. For good measure of awareness I set the limit of 75% correct answers. Results can be assessed as very startling. I learned that most of the teaching staff haven´t basic knowledge in the issues of personal safety in emergencies. For this reason, they would like to educate themselves in the form of organized trainings. Directors, who also think that their schools have enough teaching aids for both normal and disabled students, also showed this interest. Although these answers were disproved by the teaching staff, who claim the opposite. As a result, it can be understood that the present state of education in the field of human protection in emergency is very individual and depends only on the approach of teaching staff. There are no special teaching materials and uniform system that would unite all schools and provide them with the necessary tools. The thesis provides insight on teaching human protection in emergencies and the teaching staff's own opinions about it. My results can be used as a basis for further research investigation, because I think it would be appropriate to elaborate on some passages. Performance of work at special schools for the disabled entails a number mentally, but also physically demanding situations. These situations teachers and directors manage very well. In this area there are many schools, specifically aimed at one disability, but also those that work with various disabilities. School education programs and this teaching the topic of human protection in emergencies need to be adapted to the needs of children and students with special educational needs so as to achieve consistency between educational requirements and actual abilities of these pupils. Currently, schools use to teach a variety of assistive aids to address special educational needs of the pupils, but there are no didactical tools, special textbooks (study materials in Braille, sign language recordings) that would through its form and content reflect the needs of disabled persons.
