Students' creativity in designing own simple experiments in biology lessons
MARTINCOVÁ, Kateřina
The aim of the diploma thesis, was to design the inquiry biology task, in which pupils could develop their imagination and creativity, and design their own experiment. For this purpose, a task has been proposed to verify the water needs of a plant, and the ways in which it goes trough the body of the plant. Required data were obtained using a didactic test focused on the single steps characteristic for inquiry based tasks. Another aim was to create a coding tool, used to identify differences between solution of individual pupils. Therefore a simple coding tool has been devised to identify and assess the level of creativity. The research took place at a primary school in České Budějovice. Pupils from three classes of the seventh grade were included in the survey, and a total of 53 pupils participated. The results showed that the overall success of pupils in didactic test was 47,37 %, and from the perspective of creativity itself an avarage value of 37,37 % was found. In terms of creativity pupils in this research had the highest success in the originality of designing the experiment without knowledge of tools, as well as in the elaboration of the experimental design with knowledge of tools. Pupils also achieved a relatively good results in elaboration of drawing the experiment without the knowledge of tools. On the other hand a very low success rate of pupils was found in the ability to propose further solutions to the problem, both in terms of originality and elaboration. The reason for these results could be the difficulty of completing a didactic test in which a guided type of inquiry was used, with which some pupils may not have had much experience. It was comfirmed by interviews with teachers that they involve the elements of inquiry and creative teaching rather irregularly.

This thesis also describes cultural and social context, in which Russian immigration of the 20th century lived. There are governmental aids, periodical publications that were supported by the immigrants, main unions and communities that both - Czech intelligence and Russian immigrants supported. This thesis also describes in detail the communication between Marina Tsvetaeva and Anna Teskova, even within the French period. The final conclusion shows that, despite Tsvetaeva's bright connection with Czech culture, lack of knowledge and reluctance to learn the Czech language limited her surrounding to either Russian immigrants or Czechs who spoke Russian. In spite of this constraint, Tsvetaeva was hugely supported by her close friends not only professionally, but also emotionally. This support lasted even after her immigration to France in 1925.

Šťovíčková, Zina ; Jančík, Jiří (advisor) ; Machleidtová, Silva (referee)
The subject of the bachelor` s thesis is the French fashion designer and innovator in many specializations and sectors- Gabrielle Chanel. This extraordinary lady was born in a century where women did not have much power and society viewed them as housewives who were should obey their husbands. Nobody assumed that one day they might work. Chanel was a very dynamic and self- sufficient woman who decided to change this prejudice. The chief aim of the work is an effort to clarify what makes her unique and how she influenced culture. She not only changed the world` s fashion but influenced many innovations to the fashion industry. This work is conceived as her biography and tries to capture her most important feats. These feats have permeated into the subconscious of the French nation as well as the whole world. She accomplished this via her originality, determination and independency caused by a sad childhood, lack of men` s love and by the social conditions at that time.

Two-branch study as an opportunity to be original
Doležalová, Barbora ; Kitzbergerová, Leonora (advisor) ; Fišerová, Zuzana (referee)
The thesis focuses on the possibility of designing an original concept of integration of art education with English language. The theoretical part primarily deals with the issues of creativity and originality in teaching art education, with the possibility of connecting art education and English language education and with the concept of language as a code. In the didactic-research part a didactic project based on authorial approach to integration of English language in art education is created, put into practice and critically evaluated. The first realization of the project aims to verify the possibility of its conduction and to evaluate the project from students' point of view. It is followed by the second realization, which is used for purposes of a research inquiry focused on gathering findings concerned with the integration of art education with English language in the realization of authorial project of interdisciplinary teaching. In the research part author's own reflections of the lessons, selected reflections of the students and selected students' art works (gathered during the realization of the project) are analysed. The inquiry includes questionnaires focused on teaching approaches of art teachers at school where the project took place. Combined partial findings conclude to specific...

Original and Assumed Sources on World Wide Web
Svatý, Michal ; Brejcha, Jan (advisor) ; Švantner, Martin (referee)
The thesis focuses on problem of authorship of the Internet content. It considers the question whether we can analyze the artwork purely as a closed structure of the symbols or whether it is necessary to take work as a broader structure. The first part of the thesis shows the Internet in general and its specifics it as a medium. The second part is devoted to the problem of authorship. It explains traditional view of Nelson Goodman, who examined the authenticity of artwork with regard to the internal arrangement of the elements structure of the object. The third part shows the later theories inconsistent with the views of Nelson Goodman, views of different contemporary authors who present the changes of authorship aspects in the environment which is under constant development, quickly sharing ideas and resources. New theories suggest to look beyond the authorship of the artwork domain, apply broader focous. The conclusion provides a synthesis of these views.
