Development and evaluation of computer application for teaching and determination of natural species
PECHAR, Luboš
Available e-learning applications for teaching and recognition of natural species and testing the level of achieved knowledge were evaluated in this thesis. Problems and limits of these tools were identified. Based on the evaluation the unique tool for test developing was designed which can be used for self-learning as well as for testing within the school program. The outcome of the theses is a new application "Poznávačka". New application allows teachers to create lists of species which are available as a study material for their students.

Moravcová, Kamila Štěpánka ; Novotný, Petr (advisor) ; Pavlasová, Lenka (referee)
TITLE: Highschool students practical knowledge of nature subjects AUTHOR: Bc. Kamila Štěpánka Moravcová DEPARTMENT: Biology and Environmental Studies Department SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Petr Novotný, Ph.D. Abstract This text is aiming to species identification. Main target is how good or bad are students of secondary education (junior high school) in species identification. Theoretical part: Definition of basic terminilogy and detailed research and comparison (outcomes and methodics) of previous testings and questionaires of pre-school childern, primary, secondary and college students. Practical part: 1) Pre-research: Making lists of species, which would be used to test students. These lists were based on what contained students notes and what contained biology education itself. 2) Research: I was testing students and I compared outcomes with previous testings. Result is, that species identification is part of biology education, which still needs developing, because students aren't good at all in species identification. Key words: species knowledge, species identification, product of nature

I have also included the description of the innovative manner of interactive education of biology using the information boards and QR codes placed on these boards. Considering the didactic usage of Botanical garden I have created the worksheets which complement the excursion plan. So I have comprised the excursion planning, creation of worksheets, assembling the questions and the pitfalls during their creation in the next chapters. Afterwards I have described the excursion execution itself, its evaluation and the possible modifications of worksheets. The next chapters deal with the questionnaire designed for teachers of biology. I have concentrated in my teaching...

Knowledge of Products of Nature of Primary School Pupils in Relation to the Content of Schoolbooks of the Alter Publishing House
SPURNÁ, Anna
This diploma thesis deals with the investigation of knowledge of products of nature of primary school pupils in the form of didactic tests. An important part of this diploma thesis is an analysis of appropriate schoolbooks of the Alter publishing house. This analysis works with usage of botanical and animal taxons in individual thematic complexes. Main conclusions of this investigation serve to the creation of an image how primary school pupils know this subject matter and how it is described in the corresponding schoolbooks of the Alter publishing house. ?This diploma thesis was solid within the scope of the project GA JU č. 065/2010/S.?
