Historical experiments and their analogies as a part of physics education at upper secondary school level
Špilínková, Ivana ; Žák, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Koudelková, Věra (referee)
Title: Historical experiments and their analogies as a part of physics education at upper secondary school level Author: Ivana Spilmkova Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: KNDr. Mgr. Vojtech Zak, Ph.D., Department of Physics Education Abstract: This bachelor thesis is focused on activities related to historical experiments. With regard to the aim of the bachelor thesis, research on Czech and international sources concerning to the use of historical experiments in physics education was carried out. For further processing. Oersted's, experiment and historical methods of measurement of gravitational acceleration and speed of light were selected. Activities related to these experiments were verified in physics lessons at various classes of grammar school (both upper and lower). According to lessons, these activities were modified. The proposals of these activities are presented in materials intended for physics teachers. Keywords: experiment, historical experiment, physics, physics at secondary school

Oscillation and wave experiments for Practical Course in School Experiments I
Řehůřek, Michal ; Mandíková, Dana (advisor) ; Koudelková, Věra (referee)
In our thesis we focused on demonstrational-experiment-projections and instructions for mechanical oscillations, waves and acoustics. Nevertheless, we did not marginalize other types of tasks linked to experiments. As a starting point of our thesis we used a search of our topic carried out on textbooks for elementary and high schools. This search forms a part of introduction of our thesis. We carried out a considerable part of presented experiments personally during lessons with our students and distilled new experience into the final guidelines of presented experiments. Attachment plays a significant part of the thesis, above all video records of experiments and woorksheets for students. Experiments, with instructions included, update and supplement the subject Practical Course in School Experiments I, which forms part of the compulsory professional preparation of physics teachers at MFF UK. The experiments might therefore serve as an inspiration both for current and future physics teachers. They are synoptically presented in an online Collection of Physics Experiments (fyzikalnipokusy.cz/en).

Electricity and magnetism: Hands-on minds-on approach
Koudelková, Věra ; Dvořák, Leoš (advisor) ; Kireš, Marián (referee) ; Richterek, Lukáš (referee)
Title: Electricity and magnetism: Hands-on minds-on approach Author: Věra Koudelková Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: Doc. RNDr. Leoš Dvořák, CSc., KDF Abstract: The PhD. thesis is focused on high school students' understanding of electricity and magnetism and on experiments which can help students to develop this understanding. The thesis can be divided into two parts: In the first research part typical misconceptions of high school students in the area of electricity and magnetism are described, both misconceptions known from foreign literature and results of Czech Conceptual Test of Electricity and Magnetism. This test is based on the known Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism, but unlike it and other conceptual tests in electricity and magnetism this new Czech test is intended for high school students. The second part of the thesis is developmental. It contains methodical materials, lab works and experiments which partly arise from the discovered misconceptions. In this part of the work four learning sequences (we chose topics, which were identified as problematic for students), four laboratory works and 13 experiments are described. Prepared materials were verified during instructions in high school and during conferences for physics teachers. Experiences with them are...

Solved Problems in Physics for Electronic Collection - Alternating current
Pfefrčková, Michala ; Koupilová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Koudelková, Věra (referee)
Title: Electronic Collections of Solved Problems in Physics - Alternating current Author: Michala Pfefrčková Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Zdeňka Koupilová, Ph.D. Supervisor's e-mail address: zdenka.koupilova@mff.cuni.cz The main aim of this diploma thesis was to prepare a set of specialized tasks in Physics. These tasks are supposed to contain comprising structured hints leading to solution of the given examples. The set is implemented in the e-collection posted on http://fyzikalniulohy.cz. This set includes 25 tasks mostly targeted on high schools students. It supplies them with additional tasks for effective study suitable even for university students, starters, as a revision. The other part of the thesis contains a syllabus of alternating current study and the organization of the tasks how to use them to illustrate clearly the particular physical terms. Keywords: alternating current, structured tasks, e-collection, syllabus

Development of equation understanding at primary school
Koudelková, Věra ; Jirotková, Darina (advisor) ; Hejný, Milan (referee)
This master thesis concerns progress of junior school pupils in understanding of equations. It describes benchmark problems and mathematical environments in which equations and equation systems occur. Occurrences of such exercises in text books for primary schools are also mapped here. The main part of this thesis is focused on comprehension of pupils' intellectual actions during solving the equations. Thanks to several experiments, it includes description of pupils' solutions of exercises. The result of the phenomenal analysis of pupils' solving processes is an overview of phenomena, which appeared during solving exercises.

Business plan – Private primary school
Koudelková, Věra ; Kešner, Martin (advisor) ; Šimková, Klára (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to prepare a business plan for the establishment of a private primary school and to determine the profitability of this project. The theoretical part describes the reasons for developing a business plan, what principles must be followed and the overall structure of the plan.The practical part introduces the business plan for private primary school based on the structure defined in the theoretical part. The plan focuses on the description of services offered, market analysis, marketing strategy, risk analysis and financial plan, which determines the net present value and profitability of the project.
