Chemistry and integrated teaching of natural sciences in secondary school
Dobečková, Markéta ; Kričfaluši, Dana (advisor) ; Ganajová, Mária (referee) ; Bílek, Martin (referee)
The doctoral thesis deals with the specification of factors that influence the implementation of integrated teaching positively or negatively. It presents the results of research mapping the current situation regarding integrated teaching in secondary schools in the Czech Republic. It also presents the opinions of secondary school teachers on integrated teaching and the possibilities of its implementation. The results were obtained by questionnaire survey and Q methodology, which was designed for the online environment via Google Slides. Among other things, the research results point to factors from a total of 4 areas, which, according to the respondents, play an important role for the integration of integrated teaching in education. These areas are undergraduate and postgraduate teacher education, external conditions (for example, the approach of school management), the third area is focused on the teacher's personality, and the last area is focused on pupils and their parents. It follows from the obtained results that the factor positively influencing the implementation of integrated teaching (hereinafter referred to as IT) is the perception of the importance and content of IT by teachers. Teachers mostly perceive integrated teaching positively, they believe that it encourages students' interest...

The potential of integrated science's implementation in Czech schools in selected teachers' perspective
Kolafová, Barbora ; Rusek, Martin (advisor) ; Bílek, Martin (referee)
This thesis is about the possibilities of including integrated science subjects teaching at czech schools. It presents historical milestones that had an impact on education and the current state of teaching science subjects in the Czech Republic. Because of a declining interest of students in natural sciences, the several newer teaching strategies of proven foreign research are elaborated in the theoretical part of the work. The research of this work is focused on the opinions of a selected sample of teachers, which are related to their idea of the ideal concept of integrated teaching in the implementation of established in Czech schools. Another goal of the work is to reveal the pros and cons of this form of teaching. The research was conducted on a selected sample of teachers which were willing to engage in research voluntarily. The research questions should revealed teachers claims on four categories - strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of integrated teaching, which was included in the second round of assessment. The ideal concept of integrated teaching from the perspective of the interviewed teachers was also identified in the first round. Data from the first round were given by respondents in the second and third rounds for evaluation according to relevance, which ranked the...

Integrated Science Education and History of Science in Chemistry Education
Šíba, Michal
The present dissertation Integrated Science Education and History of Science in Chemistry Education is aimed at the problem of integrating scientific subjects by means of natural history. The thesis contains research concerned with integrating science education in its various forms and its analysis from the point of valid curricular documents. Results of a questionnaire on intersubject integration distributed among grammar school chemistry teachers are presented in the thesis. Further on, an approach to the integration by means of natural history is presented. Didactic materials were created on this topic: worksheets and didactic tests in Adobe Flash. Worksheets were attested in grammar school teaching and results of this attestation are included. The thesis also includes results of two projects aimed at the topic of natural history. These projects are: History of Natural Sciences in High School Teacher Education (Fund for the development of higher education in the Czech Republic, 2011) and a course called Alchymistic Prague (Developmental project of the Ministry of Education, 2011: Chemistry year - Chemistry for all).
