Hartinger, Daria ; Mikuláš, Martin (advisor) ; Kacafírková, Petra (referee)
This thesis is aimed at researching effective teaching strategies that enhance vocabulary learning among English language students aged 13 to 16 years old, with a particular focus on vocabulary related to electricians' and mechanics' tools. Teaching this kind of vocabulary is a challenge that demands innovative teaching strategies that take into consideration the specific functioning of the adolescent brain. The study is based on a review of modern learning theories and teaching methods, as well as on the implementation of practical lessons using different vocabulary strategies. The theoretical part of the study explores the concept of Brain-based teaching and reviews previous studies that have been conducted successfully in this area. The work showed that strategies such as Frayer Model, Semantic Mapping and Chunking have a considerable positive effect on the process of vocabulary acquisition. These strategies were then employed successfully in a teaching process carried out with four different groups of students. The empirical part shows various statistics that are based on the results of a vocabulary assessment pre-test and two types of post-test, immediate and delayed. These data illustrate the effectiveness of the treatment used. Although statistically insignificant in some cases, the results...

Methodology and issues of data transformation and its information value estimation during the integration of the heterogenous information sources PhDr. Ivan BARTOŠ Abstract This study focuses mainly on the data and information transformation issue. This topic is currently critical in several scientific and commercial areas. Information value, information quality and the quality of the source data differs between the various systems. This is not only due to the different topologies of the information sources but also because of its different understanding and a manner of storing the information describing the entity of the enterprise. Such information systems, respectively database systems in the scope of the thesis, could perform well as the stand alone systems. The issue appears in the moment when such heterogeneous systems are required to be integrated and the information shall be migrated between each other. The thesis is logically divided into four major parts based on these issues. The first part describes the methods that can be used to classify the data quality of the source system (the one to be integrated) from which the information can be extracted. Based on assumption of the common lack of project and system documentation hereby introduced methods can be used for such qualification even when the...
