Different levels of inquiry in physics experiments
Fürstová, Tereza ; Kácovský, Petr (advisor) ; Koudelková, Věra (referee)
The thesis is focused on four levels of the Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE). The first chapter describes IBSE in detail and also highlights the studies focused on the efficiency of IBSE. Pendulum and hydrostatic pressure experiments worksheets were created on the four levels of IBSE. A questionnaire reflecting some aspects of students' personalities were created and students were split into groups according to their answers. Another questionnaire about experiments and understanding of the physical phenomena was created. The central theme of this thesis focuses on the students' activities while they were working on the created worksheets. First year students from high school experimented following the created worksheets and they were recorded on the video during their work. We used codes to describe and differentiate the activities in the videos and we studied their distribution afterwards. From the recordings we then obtained information about the students' activities during experimentation at different levels of IBSE.
Problems and experiments in molecular physics and thermodynamics for electronic collections of solved problems and experiments
Fürstová, Tereza ; Mandíková, Dana (advisor) ; Drozd, Zdeněk (referee)
This work is a part of larger project which aims to create electronic collection of solved problems and collection of experiments in physics. Within the frame of this work there were created nine problems with detailed walkthrough and seven structured physics experiments in molecular physics and thermodynamics. Physics problems should help students to understand this subject. The structured experiments should help teachers to demonstrate experiments in their physics lessons. In the next part of the work there is mentioned a survey of curriculum in primary and secondary schools and syllabus for students of Department of Physics Education at MFF UK. This work also includes a characteristics of electronic collection of solved problems and collection of experiments in physics. All created problems and experiments are in electronic form on added DVD.
