Dating in Geological Science
Valčíková, Marie ; Teodoridis, Vasilis (advisor) ; Vančata, Václav (referee)
The presented Bachelor thesis has a character of a literature search and discusses aspects related to the determination of time in geological sciences. In the broader concept, the thesis can be divided into two major units. The first part describes the geological sciences, which are directly or indirectly related with determining the time, such as historical geology, stratigraphy, paleontology, structural and sedimentary geology. In this part the process of recording geological history of planet Earth is also defined and characterized, including specifications of the geological time scale and historical preview on issue of development in determining the time connected with issues of determining the age of the Earth. The second part of the thesis deals with relative and absolute methods that are used in geological sciences for determining the time. Two main laws of relative dating are presented, i.e. the law of superposition and the law of the same fossils. Absolute radiometric dating methods are briefly described and characterized with respect to their application to geological practice. While the selection reflects the commonality of the application in geology. Key words: time, geologic sciences, age of the Earth, relative dating, absolute dating

The rate of Geological Sciences popularity among students primary schools and grammar schools
BICANOVÁ, Laura
Bicanova L., 2013: The popularity level of geological sciences among the pupils of primary and grammar schools, Bachelor thesis, Faculty of Education, University of South Bohemia, Biology Department. This Bachelor thesis was created under a project GA JU 065/2010/s. The main aim of this bachelor thesis was to do a research focused on the popularity level of geological sciences among the primary school pupils attending the ninth grade and grammar school students of fourth grade. This paper consists of theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part focuses on explaining educational politics, characteristic of Framework Education Programme for Basic Education regarding geological sciences and research methodology. The practical part of the thesis deals with pedagogical research, questionnaire making and its evaluation. There were 197 respondents submitted to the research in Písek region. Its results show that inanimate nature is less popular with the pupils aged 14 ? 16. The differences between sexes are clear; girls showed distinctively higher interest in this sphere compared to boys. The differences between the pupils of primary and secondary education levels were subtle. Bachelor thesis supervisor: Mgr. Simona Dvořáčková, Ph.D.
