Cross-curricular themes and interdisciplinary relationships with an emphasis on Geography play a significant role in such communication. The theoretical foundations of the international online communication are studied in the theoretical part of the thesis in order to enhance its potential in education. Key competencies, particularly digital and communicative skills, are discussed. Additionally, pedagogical and psychological aspects of the topic are explored. The practical part focuses on the specific implementation in practice, with the first objective being to prepare, test, and reflect on the activities. The practical part focuses on the specific application in practice, where the activities are first prepared, then tested, and finally reflected.The second goal is to verify whether the activities have the intended effect, especially in terms of competency development and increased motivation.

My master's thesis with a title Possible Applications of Innovative Methods for Reading Literacy Development in Elementary School is aimed at the critical thinking methods. These methods lead pupils in elementary school to a development of reading literacy. The theoretical part of my work provides an overview of the curriculum reform and the following changes in learning. The terms teacher, innovation, pedagogical constructivism and reading literacy are explained. The key competences of primary education are described, because their development and fulfilment are important goals of education. Furthermore, the educational programme Reading & Writing for Critical Thinking and the three-phase model of learning with its phases learning, awareness and evocation with emphasis on methods supporting a reading literacy of pupils are narrated. The methods of critical thinking supporting reading literacy of pupils are examined in the practical part of my work. The action research with help of an observation method is used in order to evaluate the impact of the critical thinking methods on the development of key competences and level of reading literacy of pupils. The research was conducted at the elementary school, where no innovative methods of critical thinking are used. Key words: teacher, constructivism,...

The comparison of effectivity of tuition teaching with innovative methods and classical methods
TOBOLKOVÁ, Kateřina
The aim of the thesis is to compare the efficiency of innovative and traditional teaching methods. In the theoretical part the particular traditional and innovative methods and procedures are described which can be applied in the educational process. In the practical part the goal was to find out which teaching methods are used by the primary school teachers and which of them are most effective. Further, to compare the efficiency of teaching applying innovatice and traditional methods in natural history lessons in grade four. A questionnare was used to establish the most effective and mostly used teaching methods. It follows from the results that teachers most often use the methods of explanation, texts, pictures, educational games, group and co-operative forms of work and discussion. Most teachers respond that for pupils´ learning the innovative methods are more effective. An experiment was carried out during which both traditional methods (narration, explanation, work with a text) and innovative methods (group work and brainstorming) were applied. The results showed that for pupils´ learning the traditional methods were more effective. This result was caused by the fact that the innovative methods were more time-consuming.
