Critical issues of curricula in geology at lower-secondary level from the in-service teachers' point of view
POKORNÁ, Věra
The work presents the in-service teachers' view on Geology teaching as a critical issue of Biology curricula. A subjective view of critical points in the teaching of science, biology and geology was ascertained through a questionnaire survey among in-service teachers with different lengths of experience in the first part of the research. Geology was identified as a critical issue most often in questionnaire survey as well as in semi-structured interviews, including the method of subjective theories. The comprehensive handbook for lower-secondary biology teachers was prepared based on all information gained from the first stage of study. This handbook contains theoretical support for teaching geology, including already prepared activities for pupils. Selected activities were practically implemented into the practice and the methodological recommendations for teachers who would like to use the handbook in practice were summed up based on the findings from implementation of selected tasks.

ALTMAN, Nela
This diploma thesis examines the Present Perfect tense as a critical issue in the curriculum at the lower secondary schools. The Present Perfect tense in English was identified by teachers as a critical issue in the IPUP KA7 project - Inovace přípravy učitelů pro praxi. This faculty project investigated critical issues in the curriculum and included action research that provided the basis for this thesis. In the theoretical section, the thesis first defines critical issues in general and then analyses our chosen specific critical issue (the Present Perfect tense) from a linguistic and methodological point of view. In the empirical section, it discusses the research methodology and sets out the stages of the research, which it then implements. The empirical section includes an examination of the findings of scholars in the field of teaching the Present Perfect tense in comparison with teachers' practical classroom experience and also includes resulting recommendations for practice. These recommendations are applied to a model lesson to suggest solutions on how to overcome this critical issue.
