Teaching History in Times of Climate Crisis What Implications Should Have Contemporary Environmental Crisis on Teaching History at Czech Secondary/Middle Schools?
Černínová, Anna ; Pinkas, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Najbert, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis responds to the need to update education due to the urgency of current environmental problems and it tries to relate it to the school subject of history. The goal of this thesis is to answer at least partially how history could or should adapt to the ongoing climate crisis so that students have a better chance to successfully face its challenges. For such a task, it was first necessary to map out what concepts and approaches are used in Czechia and abroad to approach climate change in the context of education. I analyzed the environmental education in the RVP ZV (the curriculum for primary schools) and the publication Klima se mění - a co my? (Climate is changing - and what about us?) by Petr Daniš et al. Other possible approaches also resulted from the analysis of some foreign curricula - namely from Finland and New Jersey. Finally, I expanded the possible implications for history lessons thanks to the analysis of some other professional publications of foreign provenance. These were, for example, works related to transformative education or environmental history. Following on from these analyses, I tried to question in more detail some figures of modern discourse, which seem somehow dysfunctional due to the environmental crisis. In this way, I approached the problematic perception of...

Teaching colonialism in Czech schools
Landsmann, Jiří ; Najbert, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Sixta, Václav (referee)
This thesis focuses on the issue of colonialism. However, this is not a theoretical work. The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the teaching of the topic itself at Czech elementary schools. The work could be divided into three imaginary parts. In the first part of the thesis, the methodology of the diploma thesis, related concepts of historical thinking is characterized, followed by the concept of colonialism in historiography. This part is followed by the second part. It characterizes how textbooks, websites and the framework educational program for primary schools work with the topic of colonialism. The last part of the thesis describes the research carried out by the author of this work. It consisted of visiting several elementary schools, where he conducted interviews with teachers and watched the teaching itself. As already mentioned, the work is based on concepts of historical thinking. I assumed that the topic would be problematic and would lead to the fact that both teachers and pupils would take a certain value attitude towards it. Furthermore, the theme is followed from the concept of causes and consequences and contemporary perspectives.

I also deal with the teaching subject of history and its specifics with regard to the given issue. The practical part includes a questionnaire survey among history teachers, which maps their experiences of teaching pupils with different mother tongue. The main focus of the practical part is a qualitative investigation among several history teachers and their pupils, conducted through interviews. The paper concludes with methodological recommendations for history teachers when working with pupils with different mother tongue.

This diploma thesis Poetry of Jaroslav Seifert as an opportunity to teach Czechoslovak history at second grade of elementary school deals with the use of Seifert's poems issued between years 1937 and 1950 during history lessons in the ninth grade of primary schools. Texts are thoroughly chosen from the collections of poems created during great historical events and milestones (such as 1930s crisis, The Munich Agreement, The Second World War, the liberation of Czechoslovakia and finally Stalinism in 1950s Czechoslovakia). Seifert's poems are perceived as lyric diaries offering a view of given era through historical references while taking their artistic nature into consideration. This diploma thesis is divided into chapters corresponding with above-mentioned historical events. The introduction of each chapter briefly deals with historical background of given eras when Seifert wrote his poems. The actual analysis of the collections of poems is dealt with in corresponding subchapters where, considering aesthetical side of poems, the common features of collections potentially usable for preparations of lessons are identified and categorized.

POTUŽÁK, Jaromír
The last quarter of 20th century was a very dynamic period full of changes, not only in society but also in teaching. History has undergone the same turbulent development, not only as a school subject. The aim of this work is to describe the development of teaching at this type of secondary schools in Czechoslovakia on the example of two grammar schools in the Klatovy district (Sušice and Klatovy) with an emphasis on teaching history between the years 1971 and 1995. On the basis of archival materials, recollections of witnesses and contemporary professional journal discussions; theoretical concepts and the degree of their fulfillment in everyday practice will be compared. Therefore, the research will also include an analysis of school-leaving examinations in history with an emphasis on their content change in this period. In addition to archival material, the method of oral history will be used, which will bring a comparison of theory with practice in teaching at the time, with narrators becoming not only students but also teachers. The text will also include a didactic part, in which I will focus on the analysis of teaching methods and teaching aids (especially textbooks).
