Map skills' development in history, mathematics and biology
Havelková, Lenka ; Hanus, Martin (advisor) ; Kučerová, Silvie Rita (referee)
The presented bachelor thesis deals with map skills' development in history, mathematics and biology at lower and upper secondary schools. Map skills tend to be seen as part of geographic skills so the issue related to their development in other subjects isn't researched enough. The first part of this thesis concerns with the use of map skills in everyday life, and summarizes evidence of their importance in various subjects. Based on the research focused on chosen subjects (history, mathematics, biology) are subsequently suggested particular possibilities of map skills' development. The aim of the practical part of this work that examines the development of map skills in terms of intended and implemented curriculum is to evaluate their status in education at Czech schools and also to reflect theoretically oriented chapters. As researched methods the analysis of textbooks and the questionnaire survey are used. Keywords: map, map skills' development, history, mathematics, biology, analysis of textbooks, questionnaire survey

Use of geography textbook tasks in the development of pupils' map skills in lower secondary education
Nedbalová, Amálie ; Hanus, Martin (advisor) ; Havelková, Lenka (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines textbook tasks designed for the development of map skills. The purpose of the thesis is to determine whether, how often, and in what manner are Geography textbooks and textbook tasks utilized by teachers for the development of map skills in pupils in lower secondary education. The thesis also analyses teachers' assessment of the way textbooks and textbook tasks aimed at map skills are designed. The theoretical basis of the thesis explains the role and function of textbooks within teaching. The current state of Czech research on textbooks is introduced along with prospects for its further development. This is followed by the defining of what didactic textbook tasks are and what their purpose is. The thesis also addresses the determination of specific types of map skills (reading, analysis, interpretation, mapmaking) and gives a description of "models of map skills". Furthermore, it is explained how Geography textbooks can contribute to the development of map skills. In the subsequent part of the thesis, the findings of a questionnaire survey are presented. The results indicate that the majority of teachers actively use textbooks not only in lesson preparation but also in lessons as such. It is revealed that textbook tasks serve mainly as source of inspiration for the...
