Title: On-the-fly Formative Assessment in Biology Lessons
CIHLÁŘOVÁ, Magdaléna
The diploma thesis deals with informal formative assessment, namely one of its methods, which is "on the fly" assessment. Methods of formative assessment are frequently discussed in the current teaching conception, as their implementation into teaching leads to the development of student's learning and at the same time it provides useful information about the process of student's learning and about the quality and effectiveness of the teacher's teaching. The means for finding out this information is often the feedback in teacher-student interactions. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the use of "on the fly" assessment in biology lessons at an elementary school. The first part of the thesis presents a literary research. The second part is devoted to the presentation of the results, in particular to the analysis of the observed lessons with focus on the frequency of interactions between the students and the teacher, using the method of providing immediate feedback. In total, ten biology lessons were analysed at one selected school. All the lessons were transcribed and deeper analysed using the ESRU model. The main goal was to identify cases when the ESRU cycle was completed and included all four sub-steps on which it is based. The results have shown the most frequent use of incomplete cycles or impaired complete ESR cycles, and at the same time it has emerged that the occurrence of immediate formative feedback is not conditioned by completeness, i.e. the presence of all the steps of the ESRU cycle. It has been also found out that the ESRU model provides important information about informal formative assessment procedures, mainly it usefully distinguishes the different steps of the interaction and thus shows its flow, which goes beyond the general description of feedback.

Formative evaluation at the primary school
Cée, Iveta ; Hejlová, Helena (advisor) ; Vondřičková, Klára (referee)
The aim of my diploma thesis was to find out how teachers lead their pupils to self - assessment and how this effort relates to the type of their teaching style. The individual teaching styles, their suitability for pupils self-esteem, the particularities of individual development periods and the pupils self-evaluation in these developmental periods are characterized in the theoretical part. The practical part contains a case study, which describes the teaching styles of ten elementary school teachers and their influence on pupils' self-assessment. For the research task I used the data processing via observation and interviewing methods. Another method used in my research is the action teacher research, which helped me to find out my own teaching style and the level of self-esteem students are able to achieve in the 5th grade. The results of the research point to the influence of teacher's teaching style on self-assessment of pupils. Teachers focusing on the facilitating or liberal teaching style really lead pupils to the ability of self- assessment. Fifth-grade pupils who have not been lead to self-assessement since the first grade are not able to self-assess on the level of upper secondary school age.

The dialogue among students as a method of a peer assessment within inquiry tasks regarding human biology in biology lessons
LIŠKOVÁ, Jana
VOMÁČKOVÁ, J. (2017). The dialogue among students as a method of a peer assessment within inquiry tasks regarding human biology in biology lessons. MSc. Thesis. Faculty of Education, University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice. 50 pg. The aim of this thesis was to design the inquiry-based task that was focused on the human physiology and that enabled to use the formative assessment, more concretely the peer dialogue. Given task is focused on the blood groups issues and pupils tried to suggest their own advancement how to perform the simplified blood test with the aid of the given working aids. At the same time pupils evaluated work of their peers after the dialogue in group. They gave them the written feedback. On the grounds of this feedback the second group could correct their working procedure before they started to realize the experiment. During the research, there were worked with the audio recording, which were acquired during the peer dialogue, with the written feedback, and with the pupils' protocols. The inquiry based task including the formative assessment was implemented to the three lessons in two chosen schools in the South Bohemian Region. There was found out that the experience with inquiry based education has significant impact on the ability of pupils to provide the feedback for their peers. Pupils, who encountered the inquiry process for the first time, had got problems with particular steps and it lead to the uncertainty during the formulation of feedback for the peers. Nevertheless, mainly thanks to the peer dialogue and thanks to the providing of feedback, most of the pupils were able to become involved to the experiment and also were able to understand given problem. Dialogue between pupils proved to be the proper method of formative assessment because pupils completely openly debated about the classmates' protocols and at the same time they proved to learned more from their mistakes and also from the mistakes of their classmates and subsequently they were able to correct their protocols.

Determinants of Foreign Language Learning
Jílková, Jana ; Prokop, Jiří (advisor) ; Betáková, Lucie (referee) ; Smetáček, Vladimír (referee)
The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to analyse chosen factors involved in foreign language acquisition, compare three types of assessment strategies of foreign language knowledge and skills to look for correlations between students' outcomes, their school and out-of-school background and time factors. In this mixed research study the data collected from documents, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were analysed. State language examination candidates and upper- secondary students who were to take the new state school-leaving examination are involved in the study. The results show statistically significant relationship between the formal assessment by the teachers, through standardised examinations and by self-evaluation and factors as age when the learners started the foreign language learning, learning materials used and teachers' background. These findings may be used to provide feedback for strategic changes in study achievements to students, teachers and examiners.
