A Floristic Study of Petřín
Macháčková, Jana ; Dostál, Petr (advisor) ; Skýbová, Jana (referee)
The first part of the thesis describes culture-historical and natural features of the gardens at Petřín. The reader learns about the protected area in the upper part of the gardens and crucial influences of human activity in this area in the past and present. The second part deals with the results of a dendrological survey carried out in the Kinský Garden and Nebozízek and floristic research of the nature monument Petřínská skalka in the period between spring 2004 and autumn 2005. The results of the mapping have been recorded in table files that relate to attached documentary maps. In the discussion, I compare the findings of the thesis to the results of inventoried materials and suggest possible causes of the differences obtaining between the two lists. In the didactic part, I suggest a way of using this area for educational purposes. It contains two tracks - one focused on timber species and the second on complex cognition of nature. Worksheets were for both the tracks. The text also includes documentary photographs of some monitored timber species and plants. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

On one of the ways to improve pedagogical content knowledge
Macháčková, Jana
I consider that one of the options of developing teachers´ pedagogical content knowledge is systematic qualified reflection on their own activity. One of the way to systematic reflection can become a collective reflection with the support of video lessons. The starting point of this paper is Lesson study (a form of workshop based on the traditional organization of Japanese lessons) and finding the way how a similar model could be used in our educational culture.

Lesson study - může být užitečná i pro vás?
Doing, B. ; Groves, S. ; Macháčková, Jana
In Japan, lesson study occurs across many curriculum areas, mainly at the elementary school level, and to a lesser extent junior secondary. Lesson study has four phases: goal setting and planning, teaching the "research lesson - enabling the lesson observation; the post-lesson discussion; and the resulting consolidation of learning, which has many far-reaching consequences. It could be said that research lesson make participants and observers think quite profoundly about specific and general aspect of teaching.

Hodnocení představ a znalostí na základě tvoření úloh
Macháčková, Jana ; Tichá, Marie
Fraction is not a simple construct. In this contribution we try to show how we aim in our ongoing investigation at finding out what meanings/subconstructs (part-whole, measure, operator, quotient, ratio) are attributed to fractions by pupils, future teachers and in-service teachers. The starting point is problems posed by respondents. Findings are presented and some suggestions for further research outlined.

Společná reflexe ve vzdělávání učitelů
Tichá, Marie ; Hošpesová, A. ; Macháčková, Jana
In the center of attention will be realization of individual and joint reflection as one of possible ways of increasing professional competences of primary school teachers. Activities of workshop´s participants should contribute to answering the question under which circumstances is carrying out reflection of teaching episodes (on the basis of video recordings and transcripts) a qualified activity and under which circumstances poses the reflection a benefit for the development of teachers´knowledge base.
