Stratilová Urválková, Eva ; Šmejkal, Petr (advisor) ; Bílek, Martin (referee) ; Nesměrák, Karel (referee)
Eva Stratilová Urválková; Dissertation Thesis Title: Microcomputer-Based Laboratory in Secondary School Chemistry Education Abstract School experimental practice should reflect the real laboratory practice so that school science keeps in touch with reality. Todays laboratories are fully equipped with instrumental devices that are often presented in media, so it is necessary that students have experience also with this way of experiments. For school purposes seem suitable probeware (school experimental systems), that combine modern technology with concept of student-centered learning (eg inquiry based science education) that should successfully prepare students for lifelong learning. During recent years probeware has become one of discussed topics in Czech science education, but there has been a lack of research examining whether both teachers and pupils are prepared to accept and implement probeware into school chemistry curriculum. Almost none research has been done in field search describing the way of using the probeware and microcomputer-based laboratory in Czech school curriculum. Presented mixed method research focuses on attitudes of chemistry teachers (N = 65), pre-service chemistry teachers (N = 38) and students (N = 50) regarding attitudes to general devices and measuring devices (or probeware) to...

Use of computers and digital sensors in practical education of science
Ettlerová, Kateřina ; Mourek, Jan (advisor) ; Šmejkal, Petr (referee)
The aim of this study is to sum up using ICT in teaching Science in primary and secondary education, emphasizing especially SBL and MBL. Data for this study were obtained from scientific articles and research, focusing on didactic and pedagogical aspects of the topic. The thesis reveals advantages, disadvantages and possible risks of using ICT and looks into the students' and teachers' opinion on these innovative methods. In conclusion, the thesis argues that the methods using ICT offer great potential, which is not being used to it's full. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
