Vačkářová, Kateřina ; Pavlasová, Lenka (referee) ; Jedličková, Tereza (referee)
Information and communication technologies (ICT) are a daily part of everyone's life. Therefore in this work I continue in topic of my thesis, in which I created and verified in practice educational program (software) "Microbiology". The aim of this work was to create, publish and verify in practice educational programs for teaching microbiology, mycology and protozoology at lower and secondary schools. I tried to unify terms used in these scientific areas and to create high-quality sources of information. Due to its easy availability (CD-ROM, internet), interactive sections, a number of images, texts, experiments, fun games, quizzes and other attractions educational programs can enhance traditional teaching mechanism of biology in all types of schools. This work includes a content analysis of biologically oriented educational programs currently available in the Czech Republic. It describes my own programs ("Microbiology", "Mycology" and "Protozoology") and processes the results of evaluation of programs by teacher lower and upper secondary schools. Teachers' opinions I statistically evaluated using questionnaires. The results show that lower secondary schools teachers use educational programs more often than upper secondary schools teachers. It is also showed that the most teachers use education...

Peřka, Jaroslav ; Řezníček, Jan (advisor) ; Pavlasová, Lenka (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to create an educational programme for teaching ethology at grammar schools, in which theoretical knowledge will be directly linked with practical activities. To fulfil the goals of this ethological educational programme there is used the creation of ethograms.The whole educational programme is divided into three parts. In the first part pupils are acquainted with the theory of ethology and individual types of animal behaviour and also with the principles of direct observation of animals, the creation of ethological records and their evaluation. In the second part pupils observe directly a chosen animal in zoological gardens or similar institutions and on the basis of their obtained theoretical knowledge they describe its behaviour to previously prepared forms. In the third part pupils create ethograms of vertebrates based on the gained data, which are part of an expert seminar paper in a form of an expert text, a power-point presentation or a poster. In these papers pupils keep the basic format and content rules for ethogram creation.To determine the suitability, adequacy and benefits of this educational programme there is used the evaluation of the output papers created by pupils, a questionnaire and the findings acquired from the realization of the whole programme.

Jechová, Markéta ; Pavlasová, Lenka (advisor) ; Skýbová, Jana (referee)
The school project to theme vaccination to second grade of primary school and secondary school This thesis deals with the theme vaccination, its history and principles. The process of immunization is typically made by the administration of vaccines, given in certain time intervals that are determined in accordance with the rules of law. Before vaccine administration, vaccine should be thoroughly checked to protect security of patient's health. Ongoing research and advanced development projects help fight against diseases to protect the human organism. One of the themes that plays role in the vaccination is the financing of research and development as well as financing immunizations itself. As vaccination is as important for adults as it is for children, providing all informations to students is very necessary. To reach this point succesfully, the teching project (described more specifically in this work) is one of the possible ways. However, as project itself has its advantages as well as disadvantages, specific attitude of students and teachers is required accordingly. There are three different projects on vaccinations topics described in the thesis. These three projects were realized in three types of schools: secondary grammar school, third class of central medical lyce and eight class of...
