Mazná, Michaela ; Hannemann, Tereza (advisor) ; Kolek, Lukáš (referee)
This work deals with the teaching of computer science and programming at high school, specifically how its teaching from various perspectives would suit students who have decided to continue in computer science at university. The main goal of this research was to find out what motivates students to continue to an IT-oriented school and which materials they used (either in school lessons or self-study) that they would recommend to other students or teachers for their lessons. In addition, part of the research dealt with various aspects of teaching programming (suitable programming language, development environment, who an ideal programming teacher is like and what they do). I also resear- ched the teaching of computer science: what all students should take from the lessons, what topic to devote time to and how much, or how to motivate students and maintain their computer science/programming enthusiasm. The research happened in two parts. The first part was quantitative and was done using the method of a questionnaire survey, which was attended by 297 respondents (university students of computer science). The second part, based on the results of the first part, was of a qualitative nature and was performed using the focus group method. Four focus group meetings took place, which were attended by a total of 17...
