Comparison of mathematical problem solving strategies of primary school pupils
Wasilewská, Eliška ; Jirotková, Darina (advisor) ; Kloboučková, Jaroslava (referee)
The aim of this dissertation is to describe the role of educational strategy especially in field of the teaching of mathematics and to compare the mathematical problem solving strategies of primary school pupils which are taught by using different educational strategies. In the theoretical part, the main focus is on divergent educational strategies and their characteristics, next on factors affected teaching/learning process and finally on solving the problems. The empirical part of the dissertation explores the effect of educational strategy on problem solving strategies of third graders of primary school by using the method of experiment that includes a didactic test and interviews with selected pupils. The result of the dissertation is providing the evidence of influence of educational strategy on mathematical problem solving strategies. KEYWORDS Educational strategy, teacher, pupil, mathematical problem solving, experiment.

Ways for self development of teaching strategy
Pešinová, Karolína ; Jirotková, Darina (advisor) ; Hejný, Milan (referee)
Ways for self development of teaching strategy Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to analyse the diagnostic tools designed by M. Hejny and his team. These tools focus on teaching styles in education, observing the personal development of a mathematics intern teacher. The study materials i have obtained during my practice are used to describe and analyse the teacher's educational style, with the use of twenty defining parameters. My thesis is based on Gabriela Hlavata's master thesis, a teacher who describes her own shift from transmissible to constructive teaching in mathematics classes. Hlavata depicts this shift clearly, hence the reason I have decided to describe it with a set of parameters measuring the intern teacher's educational style. The subsequent aim is to trace my own evolution in teaching mathematics. Practice and materials gained in my graduation, together with the twenty educational parameters as outlined in my thesis, will serve to analyse and describe my own educational style. In choosing this topic, I am trying to answer the following question; whether the observation of a teacher's educational style will impact on the delivery and quality of mathematics lessons? Furthermore, is improvement possible, or have I reached the capacity of my own teaching ability? Additionally this thesis...

Conception of key competencies by teachers and a question of its application into teaching
Hartmannová, Eva ; Kasíková, Hana (advisor) ; Koťa, Jaroslav (referee)
My thesis explores the pedagogical issue of key competencies, it especially focuses on learning competency, its development, teacher's concept of the competency and its application into learning at a secondary school. The theoretical part introduces main terms and concepts and the characteristics of educational process, which influence development of competencies. The research part is a qualitative research. The data have been collected through observations in class and semi-structured interviews. The interviews were held with teachers of the secondary schools, which were observed afterwards. Within these lessons was filled in a special observation form which evaluates through specific categories how effectively is learning competency being developed.

Teacher's experience with individualized teaching in distance education
Patta, Emil ; Krčmářová, Tereza (advisor) ; Poche Kargerová, Jana (referee)
In a time of emergency measures due to the coronavirus pandemic, teachers have been forced to transition into distance education without prior experience and training, thus facing a significant professional challenge. Every teacher has dealt with this change differently and was given the opportunity to reflect their own teaching approach. The main aim of this thesis is to describe how distance education has transformed the approach of various types of teachers to the individual needs of students, in other words, to individualized teaching. In the theoretical part, selected approaches to the typology of teachers and their teaching styles will be described, using available professional publications. The importance of individualization as one of the key principles of current education will be justified. The ways in which a primary school teacher can respond to the individual needs of pupils in teaching will be summarized. The characteristic features of distance education, its advantages and limits will be described. In the practical part of the thesis, teacher's approaches to individualization in in- person and distance education will be mapped through qualitative research, in the form of a questionnaire and in-depth interviews. Key words individualization, distance education, primary school teacher,...

Evaluation of pupils at a primary school
Brunátová, Pavla ; Hejlová, Helena (advisor) ; Horáčková, Klára (referee)
The presented thesis focuses on the problem of evaluation of pupils at primary school using teacher's action research. The target of the thesis is to determine the influence of analytical feed-back on the self-evaluation of pupils in the 1st to 4th grade. First part of the thesis contains the theory of problem of evaluation, feed-back and self-evaluation, as well as findings from evolutionary psychology. The second part summarizes results obtained from the action research that were aimed on capturing of the evolution of self-evaluation during the individual grades. Conclusions include confirmation that systematic performance of a proper analytical feed-back by the teacher leads to the development and improvement of the self- evaluation skill. Influence of the feedback on self-evaluation is also evaluated. Thesis confirms importance of partnership approach in education.
