The use of educational materials in the prevention of cardiovaskular diseases.
MOTYČÁKOVÁ, Barbora
Heart and vascular diseases represent one of the most common causes of death in the world and also in the Czech Republic. Early prevention is a necessary intervention to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease. An effective intervention can be an educational activity led by a nurse or a doctor using educational materials. The aim of this work was to find out how education is taking place in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, what is the use of educational materials and how patients themselves are aware of cardiovascular diseases. To achieve the survey research we have chosen a qualitative approach with the possibility of semi-structured interviews and observation. Interviews were carried out with doctors, nurses and patients from specialist ambulances and general practitioners for adults in the South Bohemian region. Observations continued in the cardiology clinic of the Písek hospital. The results of the research point to the fact that education in the prevention of cardiovascular disease is carried out mainly by physicians. Nurses do not particularly educate for the lack of time and lack of knowledge. As regards the use of educational materials, it has been found that many of the respondents do not particularly consider them as important. This was also confirmed in the observation, where we found out that no educational material was offered or recommended to anyone and there was no demand from the patients themselves or their family members. Since the education was not the first time, it is likely that educational materials were issued or recommended to patients at the first visit. Furthermore, the research showed that patients´ awareness of cardiovascular disease is not very high, but on the other hand they have proved a fairly good knowledge of preventive behaviour. The results of this work point to some shortcomings in the field of education in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Our research indicates insufficient education by nurses and inefficient use of educational materials. However, they also point out that doctors themselves have an interest in getting nurses more actively involved in education, even if they are aware of certain limits. These results can serve as an a stimulus for the management of healthcare facilities and for those involved in nursing training.

Demonstrations as an illustrative tool in chemistry education
Hájková, Zdeňka ; Šmejkal, Petr (advisor) ; Klečková, Marta (referee) ; Nižňanský, Daniel (referee)
Demonstrations are considered an important illustrative tool in chemistry education. Quite often teachers use demonstrations of experiments and multimedia demonstrations. Besides, "non-experimental" demonstrations might also be useful, such as material models and demonstrations based on macroscopic analogy that can be usually carried out only with household items and materials. This dissertation is especially aimed at selecting appropriate demonstrations, at their design, development and use of "non-experimental" demonstrations. Moreover, special attention was paid to the interdisciplinary demonstrations concerning the nanoworld, so called "nanodemonstrations". All "nanodemonstrations" presented are safe, cheap and rather timesaving. Furthermore, they can be carried out in a form of lecture and / or students' demonstration. Newly created as well as adopted (and modified) "nanodemonstrations" were collected into the Czech database of "nanodemonstrations". The database was additionally accompanied with following educational materials concerning "nano": two PowerPoint presentations, worksheets that supplement students' "nanodemonstrations" and worksheets with interdisciplinary tasks. This thesis also deals with the evaluation of "nanodemonstrations" and worksheets in secondary school classes. The...

Setting up educational materials for the topic Chemistry around us
Štefková, Ivona ; Šmejkal, Petr (advisor) ; Smrček, Stanislav (referee) ; Richtr, Václav (referee)
This dissertation deals with the creation of educational materials to topics from the field Chemistry around us and circumstances of its implementation into teaching chemistry with regard to the needs posed by curricular documents. The connection between real world and the content of the chemistry subject, which is taught at schools, is shown on the curricular topics related to medicinal chemistry and to fertilizer chemistry. This could make the student getting a better overview of the subject itself. Regarding the specialist and didactical part, the teaching material tries to make it easier for the teacher to prepare for the lessons and make them more interesting due to the teaching material's variability and processing (teaching text, powerpoint presentations, plays, laboratory exercises etc.). This way, the student gains access to practical topics through various types of exercises, interesting aspects, plays etc. The evaluation of educational materials and investigation of student's and teacher's attitude was carried out via a questionnaire investigation. The investigation showed that both students and teachers regard these topics as beneficial and belonging to the field of chemistry. The medicinal topics were approached by the girls better than by the boys, which was not the case of the...

The main objective of this thesis was to create an educational website aimed at soil arthropods. It can be used primarily by teachers of biology and ecology, lecturers of extracurricular science education or by the students who are interested in this issue. This photographic atlas of soil arthropods consists of my own micro images obtained by the use of light and scanning electron microscope. The micro images are accompanied by text to each group of soil arthropods, which is divided into sections containing information about the systematic classification, anatomy and morphology, biology and importance, eventually representatives of the group. The atlas is accompanied by other materials usable in the classroom, such as didactic test, didactic game and proposals for group work, worksheet, field and laboratory work or educational presentations focused on soil arthropods. These materials can be downloaded from the website, along with the entire atlas of soil arthropods. The atlas is available on the following address: https://sites.google.com/site/pudniclenovci/. The review of the literature deals with the importance of arthropods in the soil and their mutual interactions. Then I describe the methods of study of arthropods (sampling, sample preparation for light and scanning electron microscopy and...
