Didactic potential of literary works with the theme of death in primary education
Bauerová, Zuzana ; Komberec, Filip (advisor) ; Laufková, Veronika (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of death and how to convey it to the pupils of primary school by means of literature. The first aim of the thesis is to justify why the topic of death belongs in the primary school curriculum. The main reason is that if communication about the topic of death is denied to children or is done in an inappropriate way, children form wrong ideas about it, which can have a negative impact on them. This thesis explores how the concept of death evolves over time, both within society and in the individual. Another aim is to explore the specifics of working with texts containing the death motif. In fact, literature is the most appropriate tool to open up the topic of death and help individual to process it. This applies in the school environment as well as outside of it. It is caused not only by the content itself, but also because of the way the recipient processes the information received from this medium. The main aim of this paper is to compile a list of literary works suitable for dealing with the theme of death in a school setting and to briefly characterize them. I have chosen one book title for each year of primary school and proposed a methodology for the work. Ordered from first grade to fifth grade, I selected the following works: The Visit from Little Death, The...

Deep reading in literary education at high school
Kaizrová, Kristýna ; Komberec, Filip (advisor) ; Laufková, Veronika (referee)
This thesis deals with the teaching of literature in high school, focusing on deep reading. The theoretical part includes a more detailed definition of the concept of deep reading, looking for its place in the teaching of literature and links with literacy and empathy. The aim of the thesis was to prepare and teach several lessons in the high school during which students will have a space for deep reading. The starting point of the work is the book Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World by Maryanne Wolf, in which deep reading is described as a way to counteract the loss of empathy in our time, which she believes is one of the big problems of contemporary society. The thesis seeks to answer the question of how to design a high school literature class that focuses on deep reading.

Benefit of Formative Assessment for Primary School Teachers and Pupils
Fišerová, Karolína ; Laufková, Veronika (advisor) ; Starý, Karel (referee)
The diploma thesis aims to find out what benefits of using formative assessment in teaching see selected teachers and pupils of primary school. The theoretical part focuses on school evaluation, where this term is defined, and the main aspects of assessment such as functions and individual types are described. It also gets to the formative and summative types of evaluation and their comparison. The next part is devoted to specific principles of a formative approach, such as the formulation of goals that are closely related to criteria and feedback, as well as self-evaluation or peer evaluation. Formative assessment could not work without respectful communication and trust between the student and the teacher, which is dealt with in the last chapter of the theoretical part. The empirical part, through interviews with pupils' class teachers (specifically the 4th grade) and subsequent interviews with groups of pupils of the above-mentioned teachers, finds out what evaluation procedures teachers use and why. Interviews with pupils make it possible to record the pupils' view of school assessment and the methods their teachers work with, as well as how communication in the classroom affects pupils' approach to learning. The results of the qualitative design of the research show that formative methods try...

The thesis focuses on the topic of reading preliteracy and the creation of a quality reading environment. The aim of the thesis is to encourage children and parents to develop their interest in reading and books through the implementation of various activities. The thesis is divided into theoretical and empirical parts. In the theoretical part, there is an explanation of what the reading environment is and how it is influenced. Furthermore, there is a definition of the basic concepts related to reading preliteracy and its importance in the child's development. It also describes selected activities and projects that promote reading and what a children's library in a school should look like. Finally, the theoretical part describes appropriate genres for preschool children and recommended selected titles for children's libraries.

Supporting of motivation for reading and text comprehension through working with illustration (the artistic component of a literary work) in kindergarten
Mihulová, Veronika ; Laufková, Veronika (advisor) ; Havlová, Jana (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis looks at promoting motivation for reading and understanding the text through working with the book and illustrating it, with a focus on working in nursery school. I chose this theme in particular because a positive relationship with books and an understanding of a given text, already developed in preschool, forms the basis for children to live. In school they will learn to read and write, they will need to understand the assignment, and these all activities, aimed at working with the book and illustrating it, just include reading preliteracy. Understanding the text is one of the reading skills we strive to develop in preschool. It is a complex of thought processes that lead to the understanding of the read text. Understanding reveals the content of the text. In this preschool period, therefore, we try to create the most positive relationship with written text, motivate children to read, write and develop the areas needed for future reading in a non-violent way. More specifically, the work focuses on children in their final year of kindergarten, that is, children before entering primary school. The research was carried out with the entire class, but also focused on 6 pre-selected preschool-age children and observed their relationship to books, book work and level of text...

Weishäuplová, Jana ; Ronková, Jolana (advisor) ; Laufková, Veronika (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of the influence of the use of digital technologies on the attention of primary school pupils. The aim of the thesis was to map/find out the positive and negative consequences/impacts of the use of digital technologies on the attention of primary school pupils, to evaluate the results of this impact in favour or against their use and to propose suitable solutions/recommendations for practice. The thesis was based on the assumption that 1st grade primary school students excessively use digital technologies such as smart phones, tablets, laptops or smart watches, which has a negative effect on their attention. To achieve the set goal, the thesis was divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. For the processing of the theoretical part of the thesis, the method of literary research was used, thanks to which the current theoretical knowledge and the results of research in the given issue were summarized. A quantitative research method through a questionnaire survey and an attention test were used to process the practical part of the thesis. The evaluation of the effect of the use of digital technologies on the attention of primary school pupils was carried out on the basis of a questionnaire survey and an attention test for 112 primary school pupils.
