Towards Evaluation Literacy Education On High-School
Kuchová-Breburdová, Hana ; Drda Morávková, Alena (advisor) ; Lhotský, Josef (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to determine whether students planning to také the high school-leaving examination from biology have a better understanding of evolution in comparison to those taking the examination from a different subject. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire having been completed at six Czech and seven Slovenian high schools over a period of two years. The thesis proved that students taking the school-leaving examination from biology have better knowledge of evolution. The thesis also maps the evolution association of high school students and makes a comparison between the quality of evolution literacy in the Czech Republic and in Slovenia.

New trends in the Science education at primary schools
Hlavová, Lucie ; Čtrnáctová, Hana (advisor) ; Zámečníková, Veronika (referee)
The present diploma thesis concentrates on the usage of inquiry based education in the primary stage of education in the course of teaching science. Attention is firstly given to the students' skills which this type of education utilizes and without which it would be impossible to apply it in practice. These skills are analyzed on a theoretical level and consequently, by means of a didactic test, are practically tested with pupils at primary school level. Another part of the thesis are materials for selected science topics which evolve from the inquiry based education principle. The topics are chosen in accord with the official educational programme of the Czech education systém and contribute towards a more effective educational process and the heightening of the interest of students in science.

Inquire-Based Science Education in General and Inorganic Chemistry
Zámečníková, Veronika
This thesis deals with the possibility of implementing Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE) into teaching practice mainly at elementary schools. The focus is put on teaching general and inorganic chemistry. The theoretical part consists of the conceptual apparatus and research methodology related to implementation of IBSE activities into teaching. It also discusses how important may implementing of the IBSE principles be for supporting the student interest in science and for upgrading their scientific abilities which may make it easier in future to put the young generation into practice. Another chapter describes current situation in practical application of the IBSE in Czech Republic. It summarizes basic theories and experience with introducing IBSE into classrooms. The thesis also analyses the selection of curriculum suitable for applying IBSE in chemistry and chemistry didactics. The practical part of the thesis incorporates educational documents for working within IBSE principles and gives an overview of results of author's own research, realized between 2014 - 2016. The research was focused on attitude of students towards chemistry and its evolution after implementing the IBSE principles. Based on results of this research, specific drafts of IBSE implements are rendered for general and inorganic...

Cross-Curricular Subjects chosen for biology education.
Čermák, Martin ; Rajsiglová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Janštová, Vanda (referee)
Bachelor thesis is literature search. It compares cross-curricular subjects in the Czech Republic with other neighbouring countries (Germany, Austria, Poland, and Slovakia). As the source of information were not used scholarly articles but also school education programmes of countries. Cross-curricular subjects offer an opportunity to connect most or all school subjects. Themes which mainly cross Biology are analyzed in detail. Cross-curricular subjects in the Czech Republic are provided only marginally.

New trends in the Science education at primary schools
Hlavová, Lucie ; Čtrnáctová, Hana (advisor) ; Čížková, Věra (referee)
This bachelor thesis is based on the results of TIMSS and PISA tests and their outcomes related to science education in the Czech Republic. It compares traditional education with inquiry based education, which is considered a perspective teaching method in connection with developing pupils command of science. The condition for applying this method is among other aspects the development of skills required for enquiry based education in all stages of education. This thesis focuses on investigating if primary school pupils have attained these skills. For this matter, primary school science textbooks vere investigated and a survey investigating attainment of these skills was carried out at primary schools.

Inter-subject relations between chemistry and geology in natural sciences
Kálalová, Anna ; Čtrnáctová, Hana (advisor) ; Teplý, Pavel (referee)
Thesis is fixed on inter-subjects relations between chemistry and geology in context of science education. Thesis concern subject matter defined in curricula for grammar schools, which is devoted inorganic chemistry, mineralogy and petrology. Next there is lucid compile inclusion these themes to school curricula in other grammar schools. Thesis emphasizes mainly to practical works in teaching mentioned subjects i.e. experiments. There are compile topics for chemical and physical experiments, which are useful for demonstration inter- subject relations between these subjects and geology. Worksheets with creative solutions were made for these experiments; there are component of enclosure of this thesis.

Chemistry - Geology relatives in the Science education
Kálalová, Anna ; Teplý, Pavel (referee) ; Čtrnáctová, Hana (advisor)
In my bachelor thesis I fixed myself on inter-subject relations between chemistry and geology in natural sciences in grammar schools. I looked up this theme in curricula for grammar schools and I made chemistry and geology school-books research. I selected several usual minerals and rocks with useful chemical composition and I wrote chemical and geological information about them. I found chemical experiments with this chemical substances, modified them and did them.

Knowledge of kindergarten pupils about animal anatomy.
HAMPEJSOVÁ, Barbora
This thesis is about wild animals living in the area Lusatian Mountains, Českolipsko, Dubskaand, Českosaské Švýcarsko, marginally in the Zoopark in Chomutov as a model group in environmental education in kindergarten. The aim is to find out the level of acquainting children with the selected endangered species, to compare how children perceive these animals, to find out how the children receive information about this topic. This research shows the range of available educational materials and auxiliary materials. On this basis there is developed a quality and comprehensive educational method connecting children closer to nature into this particular area. The aim is also from the perspective of contemporary and historic and legendary eliminate wide spread misconceptions and prejudices people against wild endangered animals and trying to clarify them.

Insect as a Model Taxon in the Environmental Education at Kindergarten.
KREJČÍ, Ivana
This work deals with insects as model group in environmental education in kindergarten and thus what is awareness of preschool children about insects. The aim is to find out how children perceive and insects by which materials teachers and kindergarten teachers work. This research survey to chart the availability of the materials and on the basis that it created its own educational program for children, allowing them an attractive way insects closer.

Inquiry-based science education - practical application and implementation in school practice.
BENDOVÁ, Ivana
This bachelor thesis deals with the review on the subject of implementation of Inquiry Based Education (IBE) at primary and secondary schools in the Czech Republic and in other countries. IBE is introduced as a direction that might solve the crisis of science education and alleviate the decline in interest in technical and natural science disciplines. The main goal of the thesis is to gather the greatest possible deal of information about the topic of IBE. It is also aimed to summarize knowledge about implementation of IBE at Czech schools, especially teachers´ experience. Another aim is to create a sample task of IBSE on the voluntary subject of either natural science or biology that may be used for teaching. Another integral part of the thesis is the chapter on the pilot project called IBSE School that took place in the Faculty of Education of the University of South Bohemia. In this project, teachers were informed about IBSE. In this part, the results of implementing of IBSE at schools are summarized and they are compared to the previous results.
