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...

Experiments supporting the teaching of thermodynamics at high school level
Kácovský, Petr ; Drozd, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Bochníček, Zdeněk (referee) ; Kříž, Jan (referee)
Title: Experiments supporting the teaching of thermodynamics at high school level Author: Petr Kácovský Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Zdeněk Drozd, Ph.D., Department of Physics Education Abstract: This doctoral thesis is aimed at chosen aspects of teaching of thermodynamics on high school. The thesis can be divided into two main parts: The research part deals with investigation of typical students' conceptual difficulties in the field of thermal phenomena and its primary goal is to identify the most distinctive misconceptions of observed population. More than 500 students were questioned using a conceptual test both as pretest and posttest; approximately half of them also participated in the retention test which took part two years after pretest. The results of the conceptual test are connected with data obtained on the basis of the simultaneously conducted research of students' attitudes. The developmental part of the thesis - partly inspired by previous misconception research - deals with arranging, documentation and testing of experiments relevant to teaching of thermodynamics. In total, 46 experiments were arranged, students-tested and published in the electronic Collection of Physics Experiments. These experiments are primarily intended for teachers as inspiration...

Subject Matters of Experiments and Observations in School Aquarium
Siegelová, Michaela ; Hanel, Lubomír (advisor) ; Říhová, Dagmar (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis deals with the use of aquariums and aquatic animals in biology and natural history lessons. It contains ideas for school experiments and observation of various groups of freshwater animals, which are selected so that the teacher could capture them in Czech waters or buy them in pet shops. This paper presents instructions for observation and experiments regarding aquatic larvae of insects, hydrozoans, turbellarians, molluscs, annelids, arthropods, amphibians and fish. The written school experiments are accompanied by illustrative pictures and videos that will help to understand the experiment or observation. For each of the mentioned animals, its brief characteristics and information about the keeping and establishment of the aquarium are provided. The thesis also describes cold-water and hot-water aquarium keeping. For each type, the species of animals and plants that can be kept and grown in these aquariums are listed. The thesis also includes a brief description of the basic aquarium equipment such as lighting, filtration, heating and aeration. It also gives a description of the maintenance, positioning and basic care of a school aquarium.

Analysis of training dataset influence on the efficiency of segmentation
Benešovská, Veronika ; Vičar, Tomáš (referee) ; Jakubíček, Roman (advisor)
Microbial structures are present in every living organism, so it is important to classify them for subsequent research of their origin and function. Bruker, s.r.o is developing the MBT Pathfinder for this purpose, which automates the transfer of colonies to MALDI plates, where the subsequent analysis of the sample takes place. Transferred colonies can be selected manually or using an algorithm that ensures automatic colony segmentation. This algorithm must be learned on a training set, which has huge influence on its accuracy. This work deals with measuring the influence of a dataset on the accuracy of this learning algorithm.

Is CO2 fertilization responsible for plant growth enhancement across different biomes?
Pyšek, Ivan ; Šímová, Irena (advisor) ; Lhotáková, Zuzana (referee)
Production of plant biomass depends on abiotic and biotic factors, these factors vary across biomes. Concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is one of the abiotic factors. The effect of this factor on plant is intensively studied. Current climate changes includes global warming, that is influenced mainly by anthropogenic activity (burning fossil fuels and the consequent increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane etc.). Due to the increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, plants likely increase their growth, photosynthetic activity, decrease their stomatal conductance and the rate of transpiration. Increasing concentration of CO2 can thus have a positive impact on plants. The FACE method monitores plant reactions to enhanced concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in natural environment. The response of plants to increasing concentration of carbon dioxide is influenced by biotic and abiotic factors, which vary across biomes, and also by the type of plant metabolism (C3 and C4 metabolism). Plants with C3 metabolism react to increased concentrations of carbon dioxide immediately, but this response is diminished as they acclimatize over the years. In contrast, plants with C4 metabolism react with a delay, but there is not such a...
