Kudry, Jan ; Šotolová, Eva (advisor) ; Škoda, Jiří (referee) ; Bajcura, Lubomír (referee)
Dissertational thesis is about children from socially excluded areas particularly their aspirations regarding their education and their preferred choice of subjects. We use the traits of their environment to address and specify terms, which we chose to describe the peculiarities in education and the principles of socialization of these children. Further, we define the relationship of the family to school. The empirical part of this thesis analyzes in detail the methods we used during our research. The research is based on both quantitative analysis using questioners and qualitative in- depth interviewing methods. The goal of our research is to find out whether students from socially excluded areas have the same attitude toward their future as children from prevalent areas. Whether these students have the same subject preferences and ideas about their future employment. We discuss the findings of this research further in order to apply them in a real educational environment. This research found out that children from excluded areas have very similar ideas about their future employment. They also prefer similar subjects compared to students from prevalent areas. KEYWORDS: Socially excluded area, Roma child, socialization, family, education, vocational aspiration

Integrated Science Education and History of Science in Chemistry Education
Šíba, Michal ; Klímová, Helena (advisor) ; Škoda, Jiří (referee) ; Karpenko, Vladimír (referee)
The present dissertation Integrated Science Education and History of Science in Chemistry Education is aimed at the problem of integrating scientific subjects by means of natural history. The thesis contains research concerned with integrating science education in its various forms and its analysis from the point of valid curricular documents. Results of a questionnaire on intersubject integration distributed among grammar school chemistry teachers are presented in the thesis. Further on, an approach to the integration by means of natural history is presented. Didactic materials were created on this topic: worksheets and didactic tests in Adobe Flash. Worksheets were attested in grammar school teaching and results of this attestation are included. The thesis also includes results of two projects aimed at the topic of natural history. These projects are: History of Natural Sciences in High School Teacher Education (Fund for the development of higher education in the Czech Republic, 2011) and a course called Alchymistic Prague (Developmental project of the Ministry of Education, 2011: Chemistry year - Chemistry for all).

Individual characteristics of pupils - that are represented by chosen student preconceptions and misconceptions - also belong to key factors. The providing of the comprehensive view of the issues regarding analysis and the linking of acquired pieces of knowledge with the practical textbook creation have been the main aims of this dissertation. The creation of an instructional text follows the analysis results of the topic carbohydrates and their metabolism in chosen textbooks and the preconception analysis of biochemical terms. The instructional text respects the results of the analysis. The theoretical background of textbook creation (the functions of textbooks, their structure, content, characteristics and investigated parameters) has been described in detail in the theoretical part of this doctoral thesis. It is followed by the survey of the information concerning student preconceptions and the possibilities for their analysis and use in teaching.

The questionnaire was submitted to students (N = 959) at the beginning of the school year after they entered secondary school. That way the results reflect students' attitudes constructed at primary schools. The results show negative students' attitudes. They are mostly affected by the difficulty of the subject and also by students' low interest in the topics. It was also proved that topics close to students' lives play a vital role.
