ŠINDELÍŘOVÁ, Michaela
This diploma thesis deals with research-oriented teaching in science education. It tries to show the pupils that the animals have their own traces that they leave behind, and that thanks to these traces it is possible to find out the sequence of events that happened here. The aim of this work is to clearly define the traces of animals that can be found in nature and then put into practice, where students try to find these traces themselves and further work with them in the research. The work shows how students are able to solve problems in different ways and how they think about tasks. Finally, the work should show how research on animal signs can be incorporated into regular school teaching and thus enrich pupils with further knowledge. The diploma thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part defines the concept of research-oriented teaching and discusses the role of students and teachers. Furthermore, thesis deals with animal signs, as such and it is also supplemented by interdisciplinary relationships. The practical part contains worksheets, which were created for the purpose of research with pupils in primary school and further evaluation of pupils, how they did in research.

Among the art genres it is portrait where we can trace immediate interaction of humans and animals as the later are usually included in the painting on demand of the submitter of the artwork and are positioned there as a symbol though which the portrayed person communicates with viewer. The fundamental characteristic of animal symbolic is its ambivalence and multiplicity of meaning shaped over centuries as the renaissance iconography of animal have been dominantly formed by ancient manuscripts and medieval bestiaries. From the wide specter of animals represented in this period my thesis is focusing in detail on the case of ermine which was one of the less commonly represented animals. Symbolism of the ermine is further discussed in case study on two particular master pieces of renaissance art - Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci and Young Knight in a Landscape from venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio - where the appearance of the animal plays key role...

Study of Animal Breeding at Primary Schools in the Czech Republic
Boučková, Veronika ; Řezníček, Jan (advisor) ; Jančaříková, Kateřina (referee)
The theoretical part of my thesis is based on a study of specialized literature and interview. It contains two parts focused on a history of breeding and the importance of breeding today with an interest on importance of school breeding. The present state of hobby breeding at Primary Schools in the Czech Republic was surveyed in frame of two questionnaires. Teachers and directors of Primary School were respondents of the first investigation, students of the Breeding School of the second one. In both surveys, the respondents were asked about actual existence of breeding at their school, farmed species, housing conditions and their attitudes and motives regarding this issue. Opinions of psychologists regarding this issue are a part of interviews presented in the first part of the work. There is a possibility to compare three insights on the same subject - by teachers, students and psychologists. Part of my thesis contains also a comparison of outcomes with similar research. Regrettably, there is a lack of literature data regarding the issue of school breeding.
