On one of the ways to improve pedagogical content knowledge
Macháčková, Jana
I consider that one of the options of developing teachers´ pedagogical content knowledge is systematic qualified reflection on their own activity. One of the way to systematic reflection can become a collective reflection with the support of video lessons. The starting point of this paper is Lesson study (a form of workshop based on the traditional organization of Japanese lessons) and finding the way how a similar model could be used in our educational culture.

Ďopan, Lukáš ; Pecinovský, Rudolf (advisor) ; Oraný, Vladimír (referee)
Teachers of programming in opening courses at VŠE and other universities are facing difficulties with automation of correcting and evaluation of hundreds homework and tests. An ultimate goal of this bachelor thesis is to create a system, which would automate the evaluation of homework and tests for lectors, who are teaching according to publication OOP: naučte se myslet a programovat objektově. At the start the thesis deals about different approaches to the testing. In the next part it looks for testing tools in the world with focusing on the student's programs. After the short prologue into java reflection API and analysis of current evaluation system at VŠE, there are defined demands for evaluation of each lection of the course book. In the very least part you can find a user's manual of the created program.

Automatic evaluation of the students' assessments
Oraný, Vladimír ; Pecinovský, Rudolf (advisor) ; Pavlíčková, Jarmila (referee)
Nearly seven hundreds of students each year apply for informatics' studies at University of economics, Prague (UEP). At the beginning, each one must complete two courses related to programming - Introduction to Programming and Fundamentals of Software Engineering. Both courses produce a lot of outputs -- simpler home works or more complex semestral projects -- which must be assessed by the teachers. Especially assessment of early home works is laboring and routine which makes it perfect candidate for automation. The goal of this work is to suggest the best suitable way how to implement this automation at UEP. Since mass courses make troubles universities all around the world there is already a lot of existing solutions how to automate evaluation of programming courses. First two chapters summarize the effort to find the most interesting ones and present them to the Czech audience. Because existing solutions are really sophisticated but does not provide white box tests support needed at UEP the rest of this thesis is not about creating own new automatic assessment system but about creating a middleware which can handle the problem mentioned. The middleware called Duckapter makes usage of Java reflection API easier and is downloadable from project website http://code.google.com/p/duckapter. Using them, the teachers can provide white box tests inside the black box (unit) tests which are supported by the most of the current automatic assessment systems.
