Didactic game chemical Battleships in chemistry
Mitevová, Kristýna ; Teplý, Pavel (advisor) ; Petrželová, Simona (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is focused on the adaptation of the chemical Battleships game and its use in the teaching of chemistry in elementary schools and upper years of multi-year gymnasiums. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the inclusion of the topic Periodic table of elements in curriculum documents and textbooks. Furthermore, in the theoretical part, a didactic game is defined as one of the activating methods, and in the conclusion, the concept of gamification and its use in teaching is defined. The practical part primarily includes a search of curricular documents and textbooks for elementary schools and higher years of multi-year grammar schools, which is followed by a search of games with the theme of PTP, which are found in theses and on freely available websites. The game Chemical Battleships, which uses PTP as a playing field, was adopted and modified from the conducted research. As part of the modification, Chance questions were added to the game, which aim to review the general chemistry curriculum. The game was pilot tested on 1st year students at the Prague grammar school with a very positive response.

Eye-tracking as a method for monitoring students' strategies when working with the periodic table of elements
Kopecký, Adam ; Šmejkal, Petr (advisor) ; Míka, Luděk (referee)
Teaching methods try to improve every year, and modern technologies help this progress. One of these technologies is the eye-tracking method. This method allows capturing certain procedures of the respondents from their eye movements. We can subsequently derive certain specific strategies from the procedures, and subsequently adapt the teaching materials to themThe thesis focuses on the detection of different strategies of pupils when working with the periodic table with the help of an eye-tracking device. The work uses a pre-prepared test in which the students determined the specific location of specific elements in a table with displayed element symbols and proton numbers and subsequently the location of other specific elements in a blind periodic table. Subsequently, the strategy of pupils with higher self-confidence was examined and compared with the strategy of pupils with lower self-confidence. Success in finding individual elements in the test was also compared. A typical strategy, which was observed in most respondents, is to determine the location where the element is most likely to be located and then search in a sufficient area for signs that could belong to the searched element. This fact does not apply only in the case of the search for the element antimony, which the respondents could...

Educational computer game, its creation and use in practicing the properties of chemical elements
MÁCHA, Tomáš
This diploma thesis is focused on the creation and use of the educational computer game in teaching inorganic chemistry in a primary school. The key to the correct solution of the didactic game is the knowledge of the properties of the elements of the IV. A group. The aim of the game is a consolidation of the knowledges gained during classical teaching. The game is followed by a set of worksheets that develop interdisciplinary relationships. The reseacrch part of diploma thesis was aimed on verifying the usability of worksheets in teaching chemistry in a primary school.

The Periodic table of elements exhibition as a teaching aid
Kyzek, Tomáš ; Teplý, Pavel (advisor) ; Míka, Luděk (referee)
The thesis is focused on creation of helpful didactic material for a field trip for exposition Periodic table of elements in the Chemistry section at the Faculty of Science, Charles University. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with research of curricular documents for elementary schools and grammar schools with regard to the periodic table of elements and field trips. Consequently the topic of worksheets is elaborated. A practical part consists of a description of worksheets creation, discussion about tasks we have chosen and respective correct solutions. Two versions of worksheets were created. The version for elementary schools contains 11 tasks and the version for secondary schools contains 12 tasks.
