Netušilová, Michala ; Řezníček, Jan (referee) ; Ziegler, Václav (advisor)
The theme of this thesis is the project for reconstruction of the historical and biological Drvot's Educational Footpath which goes through the stream-basin of middle 'Kačák' in the surrounding of 'Záplavy*, the nature reserve in the Kladno region. Theoretical part contains the geomorphology description of Kladno area, as well as the geology of Kladno district in relation to the past coal mining activity, relevant environmental protection directives, historical development of this educational footpath and the content summary of the current informative boards. In addition the theoretical part includes the list presenting the status of birds currently nesting in or moving through this particular ornithological locality 'Malé a Velké Záplavy'. Practical part of this thesis includes concepts of new educational boards for Drvot's Educational Footpath that are focused more on biological matters and carried out by modem and attractive way in comparison to the old ones. The attractivity and great accessibility of this locality offers a unique opportunity for its educational usage. In particular for excursions from both nearby village schools and schools from Kladno and other cities. This is also the reason for including the drafts of working sheets with author's answers in this thesis.

Postcranial skeleton of small mammals in biology education
Šmídová, Kateřina ; Mourek, Jan (referee) ; Řezníček, Jan (advisor)
This master thesis demonstrates feasibility of identification of small rodents in the pellets of Long-eared Owl {Asio otus) using pelvic bones and postcranial skeleton in biology classes. The first part of the text summarizes theoretical information on mammalian skeleton and owl pellets with in-class activities suggested. The methodology chapter describes methods of owl pellets collection and preparation, and subsequent processing of osteologic fragments extracted from the pellets. A list and relative distribution of small rodent species found during the analysis are included as well as a key for identification of small rodents using skeleton tragments. The outcome of the thesis are four teaching units that were successfully tested by the author on students from eight- and four-year Grammar Schools.

Experimental testing of reactivity of huzul horses
Horáková, Veronika ; Ehler, Edvard (referee) ; Řezníček, Jan (advisor)
This thesis experimentally tested the reactivity of 39 horses from which there were 19 huzuls, 10 Czech warmblood horses, 1 Noriker, 1 crossbreed of thoroughbred and Lipizzaner horse, 1 coldblood horse, 3 half-blood horses and 4 thoroughbreds. The objective of the thesis was to compare the reactivity of Huzul horses used for hippotherapy and training of children with a control group of horses used for recreational riding, and asses the suitability of huzul horses for use in hippotherapy from a reactivity point of view. During the test horses were presented with four objects (a moving and vocalizing toy of piglet, a mirror, an umbrella and a ball). Each of those was presented to the horse for 20 sec. The reactions of the horses to each of the objects were evaluated and used to calculate an avarage reactivity score for each horse. Based on the results of the statistical analysis, it was shown that the reactivity of the huzul horses used in hippotherapy and training of children was lower than that of the control group.

Use of slideshow presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint as support of class work activity in biology lessons at lower secondary schools
Žáčková, Tereza ; Řezníček, Jan (referee) ; Pavlasová, Lenka (advisor)
The topic of this graduation thesis is use of slideshow presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint (further only MPP) as support of class work activity teaching in Biology lessons in surrounding of second grade at elementary school. The thesis is formed by three parts. The first theoretical part deals with history and characteristic of class work activity learning, class work activity learnings role in schools documents, teaching methods supporting class work activity learning in Biology lessons and with organizational forms while using presentations in MMP, yet fundamentals in Biology lessons, that teachers would abide while creating their presentations. Next a part of the theoretical part is presentations in MPP alone and basic steps how to create them. The purpose of the experimental part is to create data for the third practical part on the basis of questionnaire examinations. The experimental examination deals with Biology teachers in the environment of Prague schools. The main goal of the practical part is on to create a methodical manual for Biology teachers on the basis of the experimental examination's results, how to create presentations in MPP that are conceived as class work activity learning's support. The practical part includes specimen issues of presentations in MPP with supporting material...

An Educational Project for a Field Seminar for Grammar Schools based on the Ecology and the Living Environment of Rakovnik
Kouklíková, Monika ; Řezníček, Jan (referee) ; Skýbová, Jana (advisor)
This thesis is supposed to offer all the background to the teachers of biology and ecology of the Grammar Schools in Rakovník for the conducting of a natural historical seminary which most often takes place in the forth grade with a view to ecology of Rakonik and its surroundings. The intention of this seminary is the expansion of now studied subject matter of ecology in the lessons of biology with a great emphasis on the connection of nature and ecology of Rakovník. Considering the fact that there are no publications that examine this problem from the whole the searching for information about Rakovník and its surroundings in different sources and its subsequent utilisation in lessons of biology and ecology was very complicated and troublesome for the teachers. This thesis aims to help the teachers with this problem. It expressively saves labour with the praparation for lessons and not only in above-mentioned seminary but also during the biology lessons in all grades. The connection of interpretation and the examples from the close surroundings can be a great motive to the students. This natural historical seminary also has another targets. One of them is a spontaneous repeating of some chapters in biology studied in the lower grades, which is supposed to help students with their preparation for the school...

Assessment of the textbook "Comparative Anatomy of the Vertebrates"
Řezníček, Jan ; Hanel, Lubomír (advisor) ; Ziegler, Václav (referee) ; Vančata, Václav (referee)
he textbook The Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates gives an historic survey of the vertebrate body evolution in a brief form. The textbook is devoted to the Natural History students of the Charles University that are grammar school teachers of the future. The book consist of eleven chapters containing a comparative anatomy of vertebrates. The names of the single chapters are as follows: 1. Early development of vertebrates, 2. Skeleton, 3. Muscular system, 4. Digestive system, 5. Respiratory system, 6. Circulatory system, 7. Urogenital system, 8. Skin, 9. Nervous system, 10. Sense organs and 11. Endocrine organs. The topic of the textbook is focused on a new knowlege based on the recent research in evolutionary biology. The second part containes the feed back assessment of the knowlege based on the evaluation the tests written by students before the lessons of the comparative anatomy and after it. The main aim of the textbook was to inform the students about new 1 indings in the comparative anatomy.

Rescue Stations for Wounded and Disabled Animals and Following the Daily Activities of Pigeons at Rescue Stations in Jinonicíce
Hudcová, Petra ; Battaglia, Daniel (referee) ; Řezníček, Jan (advisor)
The dissertation discusses first - aid stations for injuried and handicapped animals. The first part describes the origin of the National Net of Stations for injuried and animals handicapped otherwise (NNS), the activity and function of these stations and conditions that a station must fulfil to be accepted in the National Net of Stations. The second part of the dissertation discusses observation of pigeons in the first - aid station in Jinonice and describes this station. The pigeons were signed and after this they were observed and their activity was noted down. When compared to other specialist literature, no new information was found, the pigeons spend their time mostly bysleeping or sunbathing. The text contains return reports of birds ringed in Jinonice station and charts of surveys of recieved, decayed and released animals from the NNS. The sence of the dissertation rests in charting the net of stations for handicapped animals, their cooperation with schools and mentioned methodology of tagging pigeons. Methods of observing animals and their realization can be interpolated to biology, also. Students would get acquainted with the working of a station for handicapped animals and they would learn patience during observing and respect for nature, too. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The Theme of Projective Instruction with a view to Phenological Studies and their Use in Natural-Science Classes in Primary Schools
Malá, Jaroslava ; Skýbová, Jana (advisor) ; Řezníček, Jan (referee)
Diese Diplomarbeit heisst "Der Vorschlag der Projektunterricht mit Konzentration auf fenologische Beobachtungen im botanischen Teil des naturwissenschaftlichen Seminars auf der Grundschule". Der Autor schlägt nicht das ganze Projekt vor (der theoretische Teil), sondern er realisiert es auch in Praxis (der praktische Teil). Der detailierte theoretische Teil kennzeichnet die Methode des Projektunterricht als die spezifische moderne Bildungsstrategie im gegenwärtigen Schulwesen. Am Anfang des praktischen Teiles wird eine kleine Forschung angeführt, welche untersucht die Frekvention der fenologischen Beobachtungen im Seminarinhalt mit naturwissenschaftlichen Spezialisierung auf auserlesenen Pragischen und Mittelböhmischen Schulen. Das Projekt besteht aus einigen Teilen, welche füllen die Schüller aus während einem Kalenderjahr in dem naturwissenschaftlichen Seminar. Die Schüller stellen selbst ein Kvadratnetz her, mit dem sie ein Territorium 2 mal 2 Meter abgrenzen. Einmal in jeder Jahreszeit beobachten sie dann in diesem Gebiet die durch Klima und Wetter verursachte Naturänderungen. Ihre Arbeit wird nach den Arbeitsblättern geführt, die der Lehrer vorbereitet hat. Ausser Naturbeobachtung müssen die Schüller aber auch andere Fähigkeiten und Geschicklichkeiten beweisen (manuelle, organisatorische, soziale...)....
