Fantastic Literature in the Process of Literary Education
Lichtenbergová, Lucie ; Komberec, Filip (advisor) ; Soukupová, Klára (referee)
The aim of this work is to prove that even among works of fantastic literature, it is possible to find texts that can be used in literature classes (not only) in secondary school, and that, through their interpretation, we can relate to our current world and its problems. The theoretical part focuses on the definition of fantastic literature as such (especially in relation to the terms fantasy and sci-fi) and on attempts to define the extension of this concept as a genre. The reader will also find a chapter focusing on arguments disproving the underestimation of this genre. This chapter is followed by an explanation on how to use fantastic literature in school practice, where we present primarily many readership studies that confirm the popularity of this genre among readers, but also with some literary awards that demonstrate the quality of some works of fantastic literature. The practical part uses content analysis to select several specific works in which it is possible to identify moments that relate to individual cross-curricular themes of the Curriculum Framework for grammar school and their expected outcomes. On their basis, five model teaching lessons, which were taught at an unnamed Prague secondary school, are subsequently proposed here. Each lesson is followed by a reflection on the...

Media as a topic of history classes
Leciánová, Martina ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
Mediální výchova jako téma hodin dějepisu - Abstract Bc. Martina Leciánová This work deals with the topic of media education as a topic in history classes. Its aim was to find out whether the Framework Education Program (FEP) deals with this issue and, on the basis of it, to find out to what extent it appears in the literature itself. The work consisted of a quantitative analysis of the mentioned documents falling under the Ministry of Education and Culture and history textbooks for the 9th grade. Part of the output was also the proposal of a methodological tool for facilitating the teaching of media education in the history class, which was created on the basis of interviews with history teachers. The results show that the RVP does not officially recognize this possibility of teaching, but media education as such appears in textbooks in limited quantities, and even the interviewed teachers stated that they perceive media education as part of history education. The proposed methodical tool is a database that would contain sources and resources that can be used in class to save time for teachers in preparation. The database could work through the mutual cooperation of individual teachers. So-called "from them for them".
