Intuitive ideas of students about force and motion
Čížková, Dita ; Mandíková, Dana (advisor) ; Kekule, Martina (referee)
Within this bachelor theses was performed a survey of ideas about relation of force and motion with students of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University and secondary schools' students. Results of survey based on test with six qualitative problems are shown in tables and are commented. Closely is described a way to processing the results. In addition, the survey results are compared with similar studies performed in previous years in Czechoslovakia and Germany. The survey results show existence of wrong intuitive ideas, which persist despite school education.

Science items in PISA research - analysis of czech pupil`s results
Bašátková, Kateřina ; Kekule, Martina (referee) ; Mandíková, Dana (advisor)
This work is devoted to analysis of findings about czech pupils in scientific tests made by PISA in years 2000, 2003 and 2006. There are basic information about PISA's research at the beginning of this work. Next chapters are about scientific literacy, about the ways of evaluation and presentation of the output and about a structure of questions used in research. This work is mainly focused in scientific questions and it brings particular analyses of both general result of czech pupils and their results in accordance to many aspects of scientific literacy.

Physical items in TIMSS research - analysis of czech pupil`s results
Vogalová, Naděžda ; Kekule, Martina (referee) ; Mandíková, Dana (advisor)
Research of TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) will be presented in this thesis.There is the total summarized result of czech students in biological items in the period (TIMSS 1995, 1999 and 2007).Deeper analysis of czech pupil`s results in physical items of TIMSS 2007 research will be done in this thesis. Results will be discussed with respect to content and processes categories and type of item. There are introduced averages with also maximum and minimum successful results of czech students and also with the greatest difference amoung the girls and boys and also the greatest difference of the results in comparison to international average. Enclosure is a part of my thesis showing basic characteristics of choosen physical items, total results of czech students, international average and theirs commentary.The assignment, detailed results and instructions for assessment are mentioned for released physical items.

Students' misconceptions in kinematics graphing
Truliková, Blanka ; Mandíková, Dana (referee) ; Kekule, Martina (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with students' misconceptions in kinematics graphing. The theoretical part describes the basic characteristics of didactic and conceptual tests. The processes of test developement and standardization are summarised on a specific example of TUG-K test (Test of Understanding Graphs in Kinematics). The new research included a translation of this TUG-K English test and its assignment to the students of Prague high schools and Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University in Prague; 171 students 16 - 19 years old participated as well as 41 undergraduates. A study of certain test characteristics (item analysis) was performed. Principal statistical methods were used to interpret the obtained data. Results of this new research were compared with the results of J. R. Beichner, who authored the original version of the test used for research. The test has been found to be less sensitive for university undergraduates than for high school students. Comparison of Czech and foreign students has revealed that Czech students achieved higher scores than the foreign ones. Typical misconceptions regarding student's work with graphs were confirmed. Eventually, a critical evaluation of the test was performed and certain alterations for the universityundergraduates test case were proposed.

Pupil`s preconceptions in geometrical optics
Zedník, Michal ; Kolářová, Růžena (referee) ; Mandíková, Dana (advisor)
I was concerned with the preconceptions of the pupils in the area of geometric optics in my diploma work. I did the research among the pupils of grammar schools and multi-annual secondary schools. The used test contained ten questions. My choice of the questions was based on the researches concerning the misconceptions in optics that have been already done. I also mention the survey of these researches in my diploma work. I compiled the summary of the textbooks that are used at grammar schools and in the lower degrees of secondary schools in the next part. These textbooks are focused on the topics contained in the questions of the test. The survey of the testing results creates main part of my diploma work. I tested before and after the teaching of optics 162 pupils from eight classes of grammar schools and multi-annual secondary schools took part in the investigation. The table with the most frequent misconceptions that were ascertained during the testing is part of this survey. I devoted to the differences in the results between the pupils from grammar schools and multi-annual secondary schools and also the differences in the results of boys and girls.

Studet`s preconceptions about force and motion
Čížková, Dita ; Mandíková, Dana (advisor)
The graduation thesis deals with student`s preconceptions about force and motion. The thesis is divided to three sections. The first division picks up the threads of the bachelor thesis. Within this bachelor thesis there was performed a survey of ideas about relation of force and motion with students of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University and secondary schools' students. Results of survey based on a test with six qualitative problems are shown in tables and are commented. The way of processing of the results is closely described. In addition, the survey results are compared with similar studies performed in previous years in Czechoslovakia, mainly they were compared with results of similar research from the years 1981/82 and 1983/84. The survey results show existence of misconceptions, which persist despite school education. The survey of researches in this area is mentioned in the second division. In the third part of the thesis, I focus on the processing of research which was executed in terms of FCI test with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University first year students. The results are shown in tables and are commented again. The results of this research are compared with available results of similar researches from other countries. The individual...
