Learning through theatre. Applying drama teaching techniques in teaching Czech language and literature at secondary schools
SALCEROVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor thesis focuses on theatre as a didactic tool for teaching the Czech language and literature in high schools. The theoretical part is based on specialised literature. Attention is paid to the history of theatre, application of dramatic methods in high school teaching and the representation of plays in Czech language and literature textbooks. The practical part consists of two chapters. The first presents two examples of didactic themes for high school lessons, specifically the drama Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and České nebe by the authors of the Jára Cimrman Theatre Zdeněk Svěrák and Ladislav Smoljak. The second chapter focuses on a survey conducted in selected high schools. It focuses on the popularity of dramas among students and their representation in teaching within the thematic plans of teachers. The thesis includes examples of worksheets that would appropriately motivate students to read based on classroom activities or to visit the theatre. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to popularize teaching of drama in the subject of Czech language and literature, integrate three areas of Czech language teaching (writing, literature, and language), develop communication skills for future professional application, and strengthen the cohesion of the class collective.

These have been described from both a technical and a pedagogical perspective. Escape rooms have been put in the context of pedagogical theory, where they have found support both in the curriculum and in other pedagogical principles. The roles of both teacher and students in this regard were characterized. The use of Escape Rooms in education was concretised in terms of foreign language teaching, explaining the possibilities offered by escape games in German language teaching. In the practical part of the thesis, an original escape game for German language teaching, Treasure in Vienna, was created.

Key competences of a nurse in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
HOLKUPOVÁ, Klára
The aim of this thesis is to map the specifics of work in intensive care of a critically ill patient on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and to find out what knowledge and skills an intensive care nurse caring for a critically ill patient connected to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation must have. Three research questions were established to meet the objectives: What are the key competencies of a critical care nurse in caring for a critically ill patient on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation? What activities does a critical care nurse perform in intensive care when caring for a critically ill patient on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation? What is a critical care nurse's role in a multidisciplinary team when caring for a critically ill patient on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation? The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the ECMO device itself, its history and components. It also describes the risks and complications that may occur as a result of this method. Last but not least, the necessary education and competence of nurses who can provide care for a critically ill patient on ECMO is described. A part of the thesis is also dedicated to the nursing management of care for such a patient. Qualitative research was used to achieve the objectives. The empirical part of the thesis was drawn up on the basis of semi-structured interviews with nine informants providing highly specialised nursing care for patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation working throughout the Czech Republic. The open coding method was used to analyse the data. Analysis of the data gave us a comprehensive view of care for patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Intensive care nurses provide comprehensive highly specialised nursing care, and it is essential that they have sufficient knowledge of the matter and the ability to work collaboratively in a team. The output of the thesis is a manual with basic information for nurses who encounter extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for the first time.

BARTŮŠKOVÁ, Jenifer
This diploma thesis is focused on the creation and use of educational computer games in teaching geochemistry at the second grade of primary school. The aim of this game is to pass on appropriate knowledge to students in an attractive way, to develop interdisciplinary relations, their internal motivation and key competences. The game is localized in well-known places of Šumava and the player is informed about its local geographical and historical attractions. The theoretical part is based on analysis of professional literature. Findings of this analysis are the theoretical framework of knowledge for the following practical part, in which the educational game is created and verified in practice. The research was conducted online and its results are discussed in the final part of the work. Based on the feedback from the students, possible modifications of the test version of the game were suggested.
