The aim of the diploma thesis entitled Political participation in citizenship education at the second stage of basic education is, based on a comparison of curricular documents, to identify the topics and outcomes that will lead to the promotion of political participation, to carry out a didactic analysis of selected political topics and to propose a suitable didactic procedure for teaching these topics in citizenship education classes at the second level of primary schools and in the lower grades of multi-year grammar schools. The presented procedure is based on the three-phase model of E-U-R learning and combines different methods, organizational forms and models of teaching. The emphasis is on working with authentic texts and the development of key competences according to the Framework Curriculum for Primary Schools. At the same time, taking into account the conditions and trends at the time of writing the diploma thesis, each lesson is designed with the possibility of moving the teaching to a distance form. The starting point for why this thesis is being written in the first place and why its objectives are set in this way is an analysis of research on political participation in selected countries. The research findings point to some problematic places in the teaching of citizenship education...

New forms of reading and their pedagogical and psychological character
Vaňková, Eva ; Krykorková, Hana (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Daniela (referee)
The ground for this bachelor's thesis is a general concept of text within which the author addresses her goal - to introduce new forms of reading. She proceeds from the traditional form based on reading of written and printed texts and to identify the new forms she chooses different criteria including the dominant communication code, and the medium conveying text. On the basis of the dominant code she differentiates visual-graphic reading based on reading pictures and graphic characters, and, in terms of media, reading texts using digital technologies. In connection with the rise of the new forms of reading, the author deals with basic problems concerning reading, understanding and reflecting printed, visual, and digital texts and their processing. Text work leads to the conclusion the author considers a major problem for any learning and text processing. Having compared studies of reading Čteme?: obyvatelé České republiky a jejich vztah ke knize, Čtenáři a internauti, PISA 2000 and PISA 2009, the author concludes that there has not been quantitative, but rather qualitative decline of traditional reading. She sees the main cause in underdeveloped reading skills. These skills and their development thus seem to be the issue to elaborate and examine further in the future master's thesis.

The Implementation of Education in Geology Science in High Schools
OUBRAMOVÁ, Jana
The bachelor thesis deals with the teaching of geology at the higher level of grammar schools. The aim is to map out the conditions under which the teaching is realized. The four main determinants for geology teaching at grammar schools - the framework educational program for grammar schools, school educational programs, textbooks and teaching methods were defined. In the theoretical part, the characteristics of these factors are presented. In the practical part of the thesis they are subjected to closer examination and confrontation. Based on the analysis of the educational programs, textbooks and teachers' opinions, the following conclusions were made: Geology is only marginally enrolled in some schools. Primary pupils come to grammar schools usually without interest in inanimate nature, and their knowledge is weaker than the knowledge of pupils coming from lower secondary schools. The continuity of the curriculum, which is evident from the curriculum documents, does not appear to be very effective in practice. The basic method of teaching that can attract pupils is practical learning of nature in the field. The personality and the teacher's approval are very important.
