The Present Perfect Tense as a Critical Issue in Teaching of English in the Lower Secondary School Curriculum
ALTMAN, Nela
This diploma thesis examines the Present Perfect tense as a critical issue in the curriculum at the lower secondary schools. The Present Perfect tense in English was identified by teachers as a critical issue in the IPUP KA7 project - Inovace přípravy učitelů pro praxi. This faculty project investigated critical issues in the curriculum and included action research that provided the basis for this thesis. In the theoretical section, the thesis first defines critical issues in general and then analyses our chosen specific critical issue (the Present Perfect tense) from a linguistic and methodological point of view. In the empirical section, it discusses the research methodology and sets out the stages of the research, which it then implements. The empirical section includes an examination of the findings of scholars in the field of teaching the Present Perfect tense in comparison with teachers' practical classroom experience and also includes resulting recommendations for practice. These recommendations are applied to a model lesson to suggest solutions on how to overcome this critical issue.

Kolář, Petr ; Žák, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Ješková, Zuzana (referee) ; Kříž, Jan (referee)
This thesis presents starting and supporting points for a new secondary school physics curricu- lum and the methodology which was used. The research design was inspired mainly by the objectivist grounded theory. 29 in-depth semistructured interviews were conducted with elite Czech physicists and there were identified 79 ideas about a secondary school physics curricu- lum. After approximately two years, 56 ideas were used in the questionnaire survey where re- spondents expressed on a Likert scale their degree of agreement with the ideas. Respondents were natural scientists (non-physicists), experts on didactics of physics, secondary school phys- ics teachers and 26 of 29 physicists who were also participants of the interviews. In the ques- tionnaire survey, there were identified ideas on which all groups of respondents agreed and which are stable in time in the group of physicists.
