The methodology is intended to provide a framework for the use of open web space as a tool for teaching students at the university level, in e-learning or blended learning courses, and in various disciplines with an active and problem-oriented learning component which is desirable from the perspective of education for sustainable development. The virtual space (Wiki), the so-called "social web", provides an interactive environment and supports social skills such as cooperation, self-expression, and communication. This particular methodology is based on the concept of "academic literacy" where students develop their skills along with the writing process. MediaWiki software was used to stimulate meta-cognitive skills, the organization of the writing process, and critical thinking (with regard to resources); a model for an academic environment was presented there. Instructions available in the wiki support pre-writing, a resource search, the writing of a literature review & annotation, posing a research question, developing of text, and peer review. The method proved to be useful in practice; it provided evidence of student work and the results are available for future generations of students.

The methodology for use of wiki software in education
Dlouhý, Jiří|orcid:0000-0002-5040-9395|researcherid:I-7566-2014|scopus:56193033400 ; Dlouhá, Jana|orcid:0000-0002-9660-5594|researcherid:I-7773-2014|scopus:55939518800
The methodology for using wiki software in education is available to teachers who want to use wiki software for teaching purposes. It presents the most important characteristics of a wiki environment, deals with the various possibilities for its active use, provides guidance on the use of the existing wiki environment, and on the selection and installation of the software, including its own modules. Special attention is also paid to analyzing the possibilities for the use, passively and actively, of the electronic encyclopedia Wikipedia for educational purposes. The methodology includes the topic of copyright law with regard to the significant systematic underestimation (especially in the electronic environment) of this issue by most teachers. The methodology also explains in detail the use of free copyright licenses, especially the Creative Commons license. The primary form of this methodology is its electronic form in the Enviwiki (see www.enviwiki.cz), where examples of work by students are also located. The methodology is thus freely available to anyone interested in using it, as it corresponds to the philosophy of teaching in an open information space.

The methodology provides a basic framework for university teachers who use active teaching methods and support collaborative student work. In CR, these methods are used rather intuitively this methodology provides an overview of basic pedagogical knowledge and experience that can help their inclusion in education in all fields of study. The methodology deals with the theoretical aspects of group cooperation: processes, relationships, group dynamics, possible barriers and risks that are typical in this method of teaching. It provides an overview of the possibilities of selecting team members, the social assumptions of group work, ways of building trust and methods of facilitating group processes. It briefly discusses the principles for planning project teamwork, tools for assessment of its results, and outlines the specifics of the e-learning environment. Using a teamwork method in e-learning enables one to benefit from all the interactive possibilities provided by the Internet to foster communication and collaborative features in the very process of learning; thus teamwork could help to adjust the e-learning method for the needs of practice.

Analýza vztahu mezi veřejným financováním a vzděláváním: komparace Filipín, Malajsie a Thajska
Štursová, Kateřina
Providing high-quality education for everyone has been one of the principal objectives of development in the 21st century since education may be linked to the increase in the living standards and social development. In this thesis, the variable of education in the 21st century has been investigated within the period of 2010–2019 amid the era of two UN international programmes: Education for All (EFA) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The analysis was dedicated to three countries of Southeast Asia: Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. Although the overall quality of education ranked low compared to other countries in the examined period, between 2% to 6% of GDP had been invested in education in the three analysed countries. The relationship between the government expenditures and enrolment to school served as the main inquired variable. A week relationship between the variable of financing and enrolment was then identified in Thailand and, by contrast, a strong relationship emerged in connection to the university level of education in the Philippines. A direct dependence, and thus a relationship exhibiting a growth of expenditures alongside the rise in enrolment, occurred only in Thailand in 2010–2014.

Professional training of pre-service teachers of biology in the field of scientific skills
Nejedlý, Adam ; Veteška, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Svobodová, Zuzana (referee)
In many cases, understanding the nature and validity of information presented on the basis of scientific knowledge is essential for application in contemporary society. Similarly, in line with the rapidly developing fields of science, technology and engineering, it is necessary to have enough competent people prepared to work in these areas. Consequently, scientific skills appear to be an essential component of scientific literacy, the development of which is the focus of pupil education in many countries. Teachers' attitudes towards the importance of scientific skills play a crucial role in pupils' education, as perceptions of their importance are the starting point for conveying their relevance to pupils and subsequently for their development. It is also important that teachers feel competent enough to teach these skills. A prerequisite for this is that they receive good and sufficient preparation in teacher education. The aim of the research was to characterize the professional training of biology teachers in the field of scientific skills. A content analysis of the annotations and syllabi of the courses in the study programmes was carried out. To determine attitudes, a questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate students' perceptions of the importance, self-competence, and higher...

Academic development of students with learning disability at the Faculty of Science at USB
BOHÁČOVÁ, Lucie
The Master's thesis focuses on the academic development of students with specific learning disorder studying at the Faculty of Sciences at the University of South Bohemia. In particular, the thesis discusses the analysis of individual BA study programmes, where difficulty of the studies and the amount of workload are observed. The conclusions drawn from the thesis will be further utilised in a more general research project conducted by "GA JU". The first part of the thesis presents the theoretical background to specific learning disorders (henceforth "SPU"), their categorisation, symptoms, diagnosis and re-education. Emphasis is pit on their manifestations and diagnosis not only in childhood, but also in the high-school and university environment at the time of adolescence. Furthermore, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is discussed, also including manifestation in adulthood. The author further analyses university education in the Czech Republic with emphasis on the University of South Bohemia (henceforth "JU"), its history and individual faculties. The empirical part of the thesis is devoted to the analysis of BA study programmes offered by the Faculty of Sciences. The analysis focuses on compulsory as well as restricted elective subjects included in individual study programmes. The attached tables present the amount of credit exams and Zk+ (both credit and an exam) and the requirements necessary to pass the subjects in individual semesters throughout all years. It is from these requirements that the assigned workload is derived, which is then compared to the theoretical knowledge and needs of the students suffering from a specific learning disorder that affects them during their university studies.
