Agricultural literacy - a knowledge probe for primary schools
BOČKOVÁ, Natálie
The aim of this thesis is to determine the level of agricultural literacy among fifth grade primary school students attending schools located in rural areas. The topic of the thesis was motivated by the lack of attention to this issue in the Czech environment. Despite the fact that some topics related to agricultural literacy are included in the Framework Educational Programme (RVP ZV), the very concept of agricultural literacy is relatively new in the Czech Republic. The literature section focuses on the landscape and its functions in relation to agricultural literacy, the definition of the term 'agricultural literacy' itself and the development of its inclusion in the curriculum. At the same time, the thesis analyses the RVP and the occurrence of topics aimed at strengthening agricultural literacy in pupils. Last but not least, the thesis offers an overview of teaching methods and forms that could contribute to the formation of an agriculturally literate society from the beginning of school attendance. The methodological part contains basic information about the respondents participating in the survey and information about the questionnaire design. Furthermore, the process of measurement is written in this part of the thesis. The results and subsequent comparison with research conducted with a different set of respondents is recorded in the final part of the thesis.

ROSOLOVÁ, Lea

The aim of the thesis was to ascertain the level of knowledge of agricultural literacy among pupils in the fifth grade of primary schools. The literary section is devoted to the definition and explanation of the term agricultural literacy. It is concerned with the problematic attitude of an uneducated society to this subject. This part casts about for steps that could help to decrease the lack of awareness of the contemporary population.

The purpose of the literary section was also to point out and highlight educational programmes that contribute to the rise of awareness, and increase the number of quality resources and materials suitable for teaching agricultural literacy. The appropriate procedures, forms and environments that encourage pupils to be more enthusiastic about diving into agricultural literacy are provided in the conclusion. The practical section of the thesis consists of the questionnaire survey methodology and elementary information about the respondents.
