Assessment strategies in Civic education
Kubrová, Barbora ; Dvořáková, Michaela (advisor) ; Fapšo, Marek (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to document the issue of assessment in civic education at an elementary school by conducting a case study. The study was conducted through an in- depth interview with the teacher, a focus group interview with the students, and participatory observation. The collected data was subsequently analyzed using open coding and further interpreted using the ‚card sorting' method. The result is a perspective on assessment from both the teacher's and students' viewpoints compared with observations of specific teaching sessions. The results of this study were evaluated and further discussed from the perspective of the specifics of civic education. Additional potential options for utilizing assessment methods, tools, and techniques were proposed with consideration of the possibilities and goals of the particular teacher. This work can be considered beneficial for other teachers as it contributes to a better understanding of the assessment issues in civic education and offers specific suggestions and recommendations for improving this area. This contributes to enhancing the quality of teaching and supporting further professional development, not only for the author but also for other teachers.

Student´s Summative Assesment in Math in Relation to Selected Factors
CHYTRÝ, Vlastimil
The issues of formative and summative assessment have been discussed for quite some time inside the didactic research community and these two types of assessment are put in complementary ambivalent positions. However, not many times are they discussed according to other factors, such as student self-assessment in terms of metacognitive monitoring, which is suitable for more cognitively demanding tasks. This article puts summative assessment in relation to student self-assessment via specific testing tool focusing mainly on logical thing and mathematical skills of a particular student. Other factors of motivation, such as age or gender will be also discussed further. It shows, that neither age nor gender are of any limit to student self-assessment, or performance, both in tests of local thinking, but also in tests of mathematical problem-solving skills. On the other hand, there seems to be a strong dependence between all the previously mentioned and school evaluation/assessment. The most important finding however, is that there was no difference detected between self-assessment levels of students and different levels of assessment in education. Many studies point out the importance of self-assessment in terms of metacognitive monitoring which influences the overall school performance.
