Faflák, Jiří ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Král, Luboš (referee)
The issue of Ips typographus in the National park Šumava - application into geographical education Abstract The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of Ips typographus with an emphasis on the possible ways of solving the outbreaks of its population in the National Park of Šumava. This work is also concerned with the application of articles dealing with this problem into geographical education. The outbreaks caused by the Spruce Bark Beetle are a long-term problem typical for non-native spruce monocultures that have replaced, not only in Šumava, the native mixed forests. The opinions on how to approach this matter differ a lot and it is quite hard to assess their objectivity. The method of active reading proved to be ideal when including this topic into geographical education. Active reading of texts in the geographical lessons helps students to develop critical thinking and to shape their individual opinion. The set of articles presented in this thesis encompassing various insights on how to solve the Spruce Bark Beetle outbreaks in Šumava will help the teacher in developing the above mentioned students' skills. Articles are divided into three separate groups according to the solution they propose. A CD included in this work contains selected articles. Teachers have the option to work with the articles and...

Implementation of methods of critical thinking in teaching photosynthesis
Beránková, Tereza ; Čížková, Věra (advisor) ; Novotný, Petr (referee)
This study discuss two phenomenones. The first phenomenon is photosynthesis; this process played a key role in the emergence of life and is necessary to maintain a various life on our Earth. Photosynthesis enables plants to use a bottomless supply of solar energy to produce organic substance and release oxygen. The second phenomenon is critical thinking; the ability to sort and evaluate new information and form "your" own opinion indispensable ability for modern human. In a theoretical part of the study is dealt with term critical thinking, teaching methods of critical thinking and photosynthesis of biological and didactic point of view. In a practical part of the study is dealt with compilation and verification materials for thematic unit of photosynthesis, which would lead to the development of critical thinking of high school pupils (students).

People, power and architectural ideologies
Kristek, Jan
The article is analysing and classifying some of the contemporary ways of thoughts and approaches in architecture towards public space. It is particularly focused on genealogy of contemporary architectural thinking circa since 1960s. The aim of the article is to find some common basic features of our current way of thinking about public space as a necessary theoretical basis for further work. It is particularly focused on positivist thinking spread among architectural milieu by books such as Jan Gehl’s Life Between Buildings or publications of Leon Krier and other New Urbanists. As that school of thoughts is usually constructed and perceived as “anti-modernist” the article on the contrary argues that it has a very same basis as modernism itself and that only some interpretations and some partial aims have changed. The common basis lies in the vector of thought from physical structure or form toward societal structure – in other words that by shaping proper environment also proper society can be shaped. Furthermore, the text explores the conspicuous tendency towards normativeness of contemporary positivism and finds its grounds in reinterpretation of the “human animal”. While modernism with its hygiene, sunlight, and minimal living space was focused on “human animal” as on an averaged singular body the contemporary “postmodern” positivism refocuses on “human animal” as on a part of larger population and strives for its “natural” environment. That is why the normalization of modernism tends to be disciplinary, whereas normalization of contemporary positivism is rather bio-political. Finally, the article establishes criticism of contemporary positivism based on deconstruction and categorizations of contemporary ideologies in urban design.
