Aktuální globální problémy jako prostředek integrace zeměpisu a dějepisu na 2. stupni základní školy
MENHARDOVÁ, Eva
Nowadays, current global issues are gaining more and more attention in the lower secondary school curriculum. Their involvement can be used to interconnect different subjects and promote cross-curricular connections in the curriculum. The multilayered nature of global issues calls for the involvement of activating teaching methods, greater pupils' involvement in learning, helps to develop critical thinking as well as to introduce pupils to various aspects of both global issues and general issues of life on Earth. This diploma thesis aims to present the possibilities of teaching current global issues using the interconnection between geography and history. For this purpose, it presents three teaching activities that deal with different global issues at different levels - global, regional and local. Testing these activities in the lower secondary school teaching setting establishes their sophistication, usability and popularity with pupils and teachers. The results are then reflected upon and linked to the theoretical basis. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and analytical. The theoretical part is devoted to the outline of intersubject relations and integrated teaching, current trends in geography education, the interdisciplinary nature of geography and history, their position in the framework educational programme (Rámcový vzdělávací program = RVP) and methods of active teaching. Then the methodology of creating teaching activities and the methodology of testing them in practice are described. The analytical part subsequently describes the individual activities and the reflection on their testing in geography classes in lower secondary schools. In the conclusion of the thesis, the findings are summarized, commented on and linked to the theoretical background.

Working with School Curriculum and Teaching Geography in Secondary Schools (Lower Secondary Education)
KALINA, Matyáš
The year 2007 marked the transition to a two-level system of educational documents for Czech education, which many described as a revolution. To this day, however, it is evident that for many schools and teachers this change took place only on paper, which also negatively affects the teaching of geography. This work provides an insight into the topics of working with school curriculum and teaching geography from the point of view of lower secondary education geography teachers. The theoretical part is devoted to the history and current system of Czech educational documents. The theory of geography teaching is also outlined. In the practical part, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 geography teachers, which made it possible to deepen the understanding of teaching geography and working with school curriculum. Due to the small number of interviewed teachers, the results cannot be considered representative, despite this, the work confirmed the formality of school curricula to a certain level. In many cases, the work of teachers and schools with school curriculum remains very shallow. The character of geography teaching contains significant differences among the teachers, the Czech educational system is highly differentiated. The research also pointed out the weak positions of human geography and fieldwork in the geography education at lower secondary education. The semi-structured interviews contained a total of 18 segments, 9 on working with school curriculum and 9 on selected aspects of geography teaching.

Travelogues and travel literature in the teaching of geography at the lower secondary schools
MENHARDOVÁ, Eva
Travelogues have always played a major role in teaching for many decades. Even though the widely used travel literature that was originally used is now receding into the background, it does not mean that travelogues are disappearing from teaching. Their new forms are coming to prominence, and teachers are often using them more than ever before. This bachelor thesis aims to present the importance of travelogues in geography teaching and identify their position in the field of modern trends and problems of today's geographical education. By using an in-depth interview with geography teachers at lower secondary schools, the thesis investigates and describes their views of the problems. Furthermore, it synthesizes the results and tries to link them with the identified aspects of the geographical education issues. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and analytical. The theoretical part is devoted to getting familiar with modern trends in teaching in lower secondary schools, modern trends in geography teaching and travelogues themselves. After that, the research methodology with data processing is described. The analytical part is focused on the interpretation of the results and their synthesis. At the end of the thesis, the results are summarized and connected with the theoretical basis.
