Research on Strategies Students Use when Solving Problem Tasks
Koreneková, Kateřina ; Rusek, Martin (advisor) ; Bílek, Martin (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the identification of strategies, which are used by lower-secondary school students when solving problem tasks in chemistry. The strategies were identified during talks with ninth-grade students. The talks conducted by using the Think-aloud method were connected with solution of selected problem tasks. The ascertained strategies were classified as expansive strategies (such strategy can be used to solve more types of problems) and limiting strategies (such strategy can be used to solve easy task, but they can fail when solving more difficult tasks). Furthermore, reader's strategies, which help students to understand the tasks were separately identified. Also, other problems that students had to face when solving the tasks were identified. To identify problematic elements a collection of problem tasks named Metodické komentáře a úlohy ke standardům pro základní vzdělávání - chemie (Methodical comments and tasks for educational standards for elementary education - chemistry) were used. The results showed that when students solved the tasks, which were larger and more difficult, they often used reading strategies, which consist in multiple reading and reading aloud. Some of the expansive strategies the students used consisted in analogous deducing and logical reasoning....

Problem solving method in mathematics teaching
JORDÁNOVÁ, Dagmar
This master's thesis deals with unusual applications tasks and problem tasks in teaching mathematics at the upper primary school as well as with their solving strategies. The whole work is build around an analysis of pupils' solutions of selected problem tasks. It was found that solving the tasks caused considerable troubles to a significant part of the pupils. The final part of the thesis contains a collection of problem tasks along with their solutions that is focused on teaching heuristic problem solving strategies and based on the analysis results.

Collection of problems for school mathematics
JORDÁNOVÁ, Dagmar
The main content of this bachelor thesis is to make research of internet portals and textbooks that offers problem tasks from mathematics and to create a collection of problem tasks for lower secondary school. Tasks in the collection from mathematics are categorized to four chapters according to the class for which they are determined. Every task contains one or more solutions and is accompanied by picture.

Nonverbal physical problems
VLNA, Zdeněk
This thesis is focused on creating and using the nonverbal physical tasks for teaching Physics. Firstly the general look at Physics education at elementary schools is taken as well as examining of the possibilities of the motivating in teaching. Physical tasks typology, its importance and inclusion in the teaching process are described. This paper introduces with nonverbal physical tasks, with their creation and their possible solutions. The main part of this paper is to create nonverbal tasks including didactic analysis. Some of these tasks are tested in practice and evaluated for their applicability in physics teaching. Result of this testing is included in the thesis.

Interactive teaching on the elementary school
JÁCHIMOVÁ, Blanka
This thesis deals with implementation of computer technologies to teaching practice of mathematics in the 7th year of elementary school. The thesis is divided into two parts ? a theory and an application. The theory includes the most important knowledge of interactive teaching divided into teaching with interactive whiteboard and computer assisted learning. It also discusses approaches to teaching mathematics as an important part of education and connecting problem solving into education. The application includes worksheets that introduce the usage of interactive issues in education and description of a trial performed in the 7th class of elementary school. The aim of the trial was to find out the influence of interactive education to dealing with mathematical problem solving

Nonverbal physical tasks
SMRČINA, Jiří
This thesis discusses any potentialities and usage of nonverbal tasks for teaching Physics. It primarily analyses the general physical tasks and their position in teaching Physics and then nonverbal physical tasks and their application. For nonverbal tasks there is an emphasis not only on the solutions, but also on the aspects of creativity and on the advancement of divergent thinking of students. The thesis contains a set of created nonverbal tasks and their solutions. Some of tasks are processed to the worksheets and these worksheets were used for experimental verification of tasks. The experimental results are connected with this thesis and analyzed there. The aim of experiments is verification of ability of pupils to solve nonverbal tasks and their ability to identify dependencies between conventional approaches and nonverbal approaches.

Human Biology teaching portfolio for education subject Biology
HLASOVÁ, Zuzana
The aim of the thesis is to create a teaching portfolio with special attention to the educational content of Human Biology. Instructional manuals are created for teaching natural science at primary school and are focused on selected systems in Biology of the human being, which are: muscle system, breathing system, circulation system, digest system, sensuous system, and a chapter about nourishment. Regarding the present?day School educational programmes the teachers themselves choose the year in which they would teach the educational topics of Biology of the human being. The portfolio is drafted as the methodical aid for teachers and instructional activities for pupils that lead to improvement of teaching methods and better understanding particular terms and relations between the structure and function of human body. The educational portfolio consists of working sheets, practical tasks and tests that help to vary teaching methods and add a lot of matters of interest, physiology experiments and testing to the classical approach to teaching Human Biology.
