REBUILDING OF THE INDUSTRY AREALS AND ZONES - AREAL "ČTYŘI DVORY" ČESKÉ BUDĚJOVICE
Hraba, Adam ; Pospíšil, Zdeněk (referee) ; Boháč, Ivo (advisor)
The primary objective of submitted study is the construction of SCIENCE CENTER in České Budějovice. The building is conceived as an informal education center of a regional nature, which focuses on popularization of science and new technologies. Emphasis is placed on interactive concept of the exposition and the possibility to test newly acquired knowledge. Reduction of energy use and service staff size by means of high-level automatization of operational processes management are other important factors of buildings design. The resulting shape of the object follows the mass nature and geometry of its immediate surroundings.

History and current state of recreational mathematics and its relation to serious mathematics
Bártlová, Tereza ; Pick, Luboš (advisor) ; Silva, Jorge Nuno (referee) ; Levy, Doron (referee)
Dissertation abstract The present thesis is devoted to the study of recreational mathematics, with a particular emphasis on its history, its relation to serious mathematics and its educational benefits. The thesis consists of five papers. In the first one we investigate the history of recreational mathematics. We focus on the development of mathematical problems throughout history, and we try to point out the people who had an important influence on the progress of recreational mathematics. The second article is dedicated to Edwin Abbott Abbott and his book called Flatland. It is one of the first popularizing books on geometry. In the third article we review one of the prominent personalities of recreational mathematics, Martin Gardner. The fourth article is in some sense a sequel to the third one. It deals with treachery of mathematical intuition and mathematical April Fool's hoaxes. The last article is devoted to the implementation recreational mathematics to education of students. 1

Supported Physics Materials for the Science Center iQpark
Kučera, Jiří ; Drozd, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Houfková, Jitka (referee)
Interactive science centrum iQpark in Liberec have become the most significant devices of this kind in Czech Republic. This science centrum contains hundreds of physically and generally focused exhibits, which acquaints visitors with basic physical phenomenon and lows. Exhibits contain basic physical description, bud there are missing advanced descriptions. There are some exhibits, which have experienced by mistake. This thesis contain more detailed physical description of some mechanics exhibits. It is: The pirouette, Newton's cradle, Newton's cart, Hopping balls, Scale (duo-reversible lever). This thesis also contain explanation of related terms and laws.

Integration of interactive centers into the extracurricular teaching - concrete proposals for iQpark in Liberec
Razímová, Alice ; Drozd, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Gottwald, Stanislav (referee)
The thesis deals with creation of worksheets for high school students who have attended the iQlandia science centre. There are the types of worksheets and tasks described in the first part of the thesis. Principles which should be held in the process of the worksheet creation are mentioned, too. The second part is dedicated to six worksheets created under the terms of the thesis assignment. There are didactic notes and comments added to all explanatory paragraphs and tasks contained in worksheets. All worksheets were tested at three high schools and were filled by stu-dents aged from 15 to 17 years. The percentage success of students in each task is mentioned in its description, too. A questionnaire was a part of the testing phase. Results coming from this small search are analysed in the thesis. All worksheets in-cluding their solution will be freely available at the website of the iClandia science centre. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Field Trip Activities to IQpark
Zajacová, Blanka ; Kekule, Martina (advisor) ; Žák, Vojtěch (referee)
Title: Field Trip Activities to iQpark Author: Blanka Zajacová Department: Department of Physics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Martina Kekule, PhD., Department of Physics Education Abstract: This thesis deals with preparation of physically oriented worksheets and methodical sheets for pupils and teachers of secondary and high schools who visit the iQpark science centre. The theoretical part describes some teaching methods and forms and their classification. Further it sums up the results of research of materials for pupils and teachers that are published on the web sites of ten science centres in Europe and USA. Six physical field trip activities to iQpark for high school students and four for secondary school students were prepared as a part of the thesis. One worksheet for pupils and one methodical sheet for accompanying teachers were prepared for each field trip. A pilot study of the worksheets was carried out in cooperation with instructors of iQpark. 284 pupils from 20 different secondary schools and 407 students from 22 different high schools participated in the pilot study. Individual tasks were finalized on the basis of an analysis of pupils' responses that was carried out after the first testing. A pilot study of the methodical sheets was also carried out. 18 pedagogical workers expressed their...
