Narrative evaluation from the perspective of teachers
Kopecká, Natálie ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Gargulák, Karel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to understand how teachers in upper primary schools using verbal assessment perceive this type of feedback. This goal is achieved through ten in-depth interviews that focus on the teachers' own understanding of the concept and relating to it, its benefits towards teachers and the problems they face because of its application. Furthermore, the thesis focuses on teachers' understanding of their own role in the process and their view of the roles of other actors, especially in terms of the principle of affordance. The analysis revealed that verbal evaluation is perceived by teachers as an essential part of their professional identity. The main benefits of the application of verbal assessment are considered by teachers to be the opportunity to get to know their pupils better and to improve their pedagogical and psychological skills. On the other hand, the biggest difficulty for them is the lack of time and, in terms of emotional experience, the translation of verbal assessment into grades. In terms of accountability, teachers identified the pupil as the main beneficiary to whom they render accounts, but at the same time they described several other actors whose demands they must take into account. One could therefore speak of an overload of accountability, or even of...

This bachelor thesis deals with the use of artificial intelligence, especially generative predictive text models such as the GPT model, in the educational process. The aim of the thesis is to provide teachers, pupils and students with a comprehensive guide on how to use these tools effectively to enrich the learning process, foster creativity and enhance effective preparation. The work details the application of AI in education, including lesson preparation, organization and inspiration for educators, as well as the benefits for students in learning and working with information. Practical applications and prompts for chatbots are demonstrated to show how educators, pupils and students can use these tools to their advantage.

Nosková, Marie ; Frombergerová, Anna (advisor) ; Macháčková, Marcela (referee)
The right to sex education is part of the right to information and education and thus represents a part of human rights. Sexuality concerns everyone and is an important part of human life since birth. Yet sex education is not a priority in schools. The aim of this study was to investigate the experiences of teachers, who also act as prevention methodologists, in the field of sex education and to find out what form sex education takes in selected primary schools. Seven respondents from primary schools in rural areas of the central part of Czech republic participated in the research. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, which was then analyzed using thematic analysis. The data shows that the sex education provided is inconsistent and unstructured. Teachers are often unaware of current approaches to sex education based on recent research, therefore students are not provided with appropriate information. Very often, sex education did not meet the principles of effective primary prevention, focusing either only on the cognitive component of attitude change or the affective component of fear, or did not present enough of the positive aspects of sexuality to students. Perhpas, if quality sex education was the school's priority, if teachers received the necessary support and training in...
