KRÁLOVÁ, Vendula
The bachelor thesis focuses on environmental education and its integration into kindergarten teaching. It discusses the possibilities of implementation of environmental education both indoors and outdoors and the use of a school garden as a means of educational process. The theoretical part examines the environmental education terminology, its broader context in terms of pre-school education, and fulfilment of the objectives of the current Framework Educational Programme for Pre-school Education. It points out the principles, methods and risks of environmental education in pre-school education and its interconnection with other disciplines, e. g. ecology. It also discusses the history of school gardens and their sensory perception. The practical part describes suggested activities for environmental education of pre-school children. The practically oriented activities are divided according to the seasons and put emphasis on engaging the children in the education process, meaning they learn about nature and build a relationship with it through these activities.

Agricultural literacy - a knowledge probe for primary schools
BOČKOVÁ, Natálie
The aim of this thesis is to determine the level of agricultural literacy among fifth grade primary school students attending schools located in rural areas. The topic of the thesis was motivated by the lack of attention to this issue in the Czech environment. Despite the fact that some topics related to agricultural literacy are included in the Framework Educational Programme (RVP ZV), the very concept of agricultural literacy is relatively new in the Czech Republic. The literature section focuses on the landscape and its functions in relation to agricultural literacy, the definition of the term 'agricultural literacy' itself and the development of its inclusion in the curriculum. At the same time, the thesis analyses the RVP and the occurrence of topics aimed at strengthening agricultural literacy in pupils. Last but not least, the thesis offers an overview of teaching methods and forms that could contribute to the formation of an agriculturally literate society from the beginning of school attendance. The methodological part contains basic information about the respondents participating in the survey and information about the questionnaire design. Furthermore, the process of measurement is written in this part of the thesis. The results and subsequent comparison with research conducted with a different set of respondents is recorded in the final part of the thesis.

BAUEROVÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The aim of the theoretical part is to classify and describe information related to the topic of the work.

In the practical part, I find out the importance of quality leisure time outdoors in the psyche and behavior of children. As part of the methodology, I used a questionnaire for parents.

The influence of teaching in the school garden to the agricultural literacy
KLIMEŠOVÁ, Eva
The topic of this bachelor thesis was chosen depending on the trend, which points out the fact, that the youth constantly keep alienating themselves from nature. This trend also coheres with the stagnation of their interest for science and the decline in pupils' performance. The goal of this thesis was to test the influence of teaching in the environment of the school garden on the cultivation knowledge of pupils. The literary research focuses on the history of school gardens and the current state of their utilization, as well as on the issues concerning the building of a new school garden and the problems, which can be brought upon schools by it. Furthermore, the research deals with the place school gardens hold in education according to the Framework Education Programme for Elementary Education (RVP ZV). The topics of children alienation from nature, its consequences and of agriculture literacy are dealt with within the theoretical section. The second chapter, named Methodology and Primary Information about Respondents, describes the way of gathering respondents for the research and its realisation, the number of the respondents, but also the manner of evaluating the used questionnaires. The third chapter is dedicated to the presentation of the research's results. These results showed that the presence of a school garden has no influence on the level of the agriculture literacy of pupils. The knowledge differed significantly between individual schools.
