LEIPERTOVÁ, G. (2012): Interdisciplinary relation between cartography and mathematics in the teaching at high school. Department of Social Geography and Regional Development, Charles University in Prague. The present diploma thesis analyses interdisciplinary relations between cartography and mathematics on three levels: on the level of intended curriculum, on the level of implemented curriculum and on the level of attained curriculum. On the level of the intended curriculum, project documents such as the Framework Educational Programme for High Schools and the School Educational Programmes of selected high schools are especially studied. The content analysis of selected textbooks of geography evaluates relations between cartography and mathematics on the basis of occurrence and (quality of) explication of required subject matters, amount of examples, illustrations and charts. Moreover, selected chapters of cartography, in which mathematical skills are applied, are elaborated in detail. On the level of the implemented curriculum, the real state of teaching of these interdisciplinary relations at selected high schools is evaluated through questionnaires for teachers of geography and of mathematics. On the level of the attained curriculum, the ability of pupils to combine knowledge of cartography and...

Picture and Scheme in Teaching of Selected Topics of Cytology
Štindl, Přemysl
Dissertation deals with the image didactic means used for the teaching of selected chapters of cytology. Scientific illustration - which is the image and the scheme - meets two roles as far as the biology is concerned: scientific and aesthetic. These two spheres do not exclude each other. On the contrary, by their interconnection and applying interdisciplinary relations of the biology and the fine arts it is possible to vary and upgrade the teaching of those two subjects.

Interdisciplinary relations between mathematics and geography at grammar school: implemented curriculum
Vandrovcová, Jana ; Netrdová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Havelková, Lenka (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the relations between mathematics and geography in teaching at grammar school at implemented curriculum level. In theoretical part it deals with conceptions of teaching which support connection of educational content of individual subjects as well as general possibilities for realization interdisciplinary relations of mathematics or geography. There are also concrete interdisciplinary relations between mathematics and geography presented and there are identified main reasons why the developing of connection berween the mentioned subjects is important. Problems of the realization interdisciplinary relations at teaching conducts a survey by halfstructured interview with mathematics teachers. Their answers provide the view of realized curriculum and they uncover opportunities and limitations the tachers of mathematics at level of interdisciplinary connection deals with in practice.

The thesis deals with the topic of "Health education at primary school level" and implementation of project teaching with emphasis on inter-subject relations. The main objective of the thesis is an outline of a teaching program focused on health education at primary school level. The first part covers the the phenomenon of health in the society, health terminology and documents related to health education. Further on, the thesis introduces the "Health-supporting school program" formed to support health education in daily school activities, and thus reach the education goals at an affective level. A special emphasis is put on education to self-competence in information search and in use of textbooks and literature. The second part of the thesis addresses the use of projects at the primary school level and the implementation of a 2 nd grade project focused on learning about the human body.

Mathematical potential of activities in the classes of physical education in elementary school
Šíp, Ondřej ; Slezáková, Jana (advisor) ; Jirotková, Darina (referee)
This thesis is concerned with exploration of the interdisciplinarity of school subjects, specifically the link between mathematics and physical education. The educational goals and content of these subjects, as they are taught in majority of schools, are described in the theoretical part. The subsequent chapters analyze the form of interdisciplinarity in the current educational system, with the focus on the interdisciplinary relation between mathematics and physical education. The practical part of this thesis consists of case reports of students who took part in physical education with activities focused on rhythm in mathematics. This intervention was administered in two fourth grade classes, that were compared with two different fourth grades that took part in regular physical education. The differences between these classes were investigated by examining the students' attitude towards mathematics and physical education, as well as students' mathematical knowledge, which was assessed by administering tests before and after the physical education interventions. Additionally, the thesis contains the collection of the exercises that the students took part in, and which can be used to improve rhythmical and mathematical abilities.
