Using RWCT methods in French language teaching
Suchomelová, Eva ; Klinka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Fučíková, Milena (referee)
This work focuses on using methods of the Reading and Writing for Critical Thinking (RWCT) program in teaching French as a foreign language. The goal is to create a French lesson using these methods and to test it in practice. The first chapter is dedicated to the development of critical thinking in the school environment and describes selected RWCT methods. The second chapter connects critical thinking with current trends in teaching French, especially with the action-oriented approach. The third chapter focuses on how the development of critical thinking is anchored in curricular documents and on the expected level of students' language skills. In the fourth chapter, we use all these insights to prepare a lesson for upper primary school students. The fifth chapter reflects on the actual course of the tested teaching unit and feedback from students, adding further recommendations. We found that although the use of RWCT methods in foreign language teaching is not directly supported by curricular documents, nothing prevents teachers from proceeding this way. Teaching a foreign language and supporting the development of critical thinking require a safe environment, orienting activity on the student, cooperation, and formulating thoughts and opinions, creating space for natural communication in the...

Implementation of RWCT methods in teaching psychology on secondary level of basic school
Kotrs, Miroslav ; Zicha, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Fapšo, Marek (referee)
The thesis examines the possibilities of using critical thinking methods in teaching psychological topics at the second level of primary school. Critical thinking is a process that helps us to analyse information, make conclusions from it and form our own opinions. It can be used in teaching to support the development of critical and independent thinking in pupils and to promote problem solving skills and critical evaluation of information. Critical thinking can be developed using a variety of methods and text work such as brainstorming, mind mapping, T-charts, or Venn diagrams. Its use can help pupils to better understand the text they are studying, develop their skills and prepare them for future professional and personal challenges. However, the aim of this thesis is to explore how critical thinking methods can be used effectively in the topic of psychology. The practical part of the thesis includes an analysis of eight lessons that focus on psychology topics and use critical thinking methods in their implementation. The teaching of psychology at primary school focuses on psychological functional literacy, applying aspects of experiential pedagogy. The use of critical thinking is linked to the aspects of experiential pedagogy in the lessons prepared, taught and reflected upon. The results show...

Use of the Interactive White Board in Literary education in the First Grade of Primary School
Šebková, Lucie ; Klumparová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Hausenblas, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is mapping options of the use of the interactive whiteboard in the introductory part of Literature lesson called the evocation, based on formulated findings of needs and interests of the prepubescent reader summarized in the theoretical part. The practical part consists in comparison of teaching with and without the use of the interactive whiteboard, while the lesson plans are conceived in E-U-R model. The undertaken research shows that work with the interactive whiteboard in Literary lessons increase pupils'motivation to predict, makes modelling of reading literacy methods easier, improve vizualization of problematic places in the text and offers unconventional effective way of sharing pupils'ideas and artefacts. The benefit of this work is finding effective ways of the use of the interactive whiteboard in Literature lessons especially in the evocation part of lesson.
