Teaching History in Times of Climate Crisis What Implications Should Have Contemporary Environmental Crisis on Teaching History at Czech Secondary/Middle Schools?
Černínová, Anna ; Pinkas, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Najbert, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis responds to the need to update education due to the urgency of current environmental problems and it tries to relate it to the school subject of history. The goal of this thesis is to answer at least partially how history could or should adapt to the ongoing climate crisis so that students have a better chance to successfully face its challenges. For such a task, it was first necessary to map out what concepts and approaches are used in Czechia and abroad to approach climate change in the context of education. I analyzed the environmental education in the RVP ZV (the curriculum for primary schools) and the publication Klima se mění - a co my? (Climate is changing - and what about us?) by Petr Daniš et al. Other possible approaches also resulted from the analysis of some foreign curricula - namely from Finland and New Jersey. Finally, I expanded the possible implications for history lessons thanks to the analysis of some other professional publications of foreign provenance. These were, for example, works related to transformative education or environmental history. Following on from these analyses, I tried to question in more detail some figures of modern discourse, which seem somehow dysfunctional due to the environmental crisis. In this way, I approached the problematic perception of...

Teaching colonialism in Czech schools
Landsmann, Jiří ; Najbert, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Sixta, Václav (referee)
This thesis focuses on the issue of colonialism. However, this is not a theoretical work. The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the teaching of the topic itself at Czech elementary schools. The work could be divided into three imaginary parts. In the first part of the thesis, the methodology of the diploma thesis, related concepts of historical thinking is characterized, followed by the concept of colonialism in historiography. This part is followed by the second part. It characterizes how textbooks, websites and the framework educational program for primary schools work with the topic of colonialism. The last part of the thesis describes the research carried out by the author of this work. It consisted of visiting several elementary schools, where he conducted interviews with teachers and watched the teaching itself. As already mentioned, the work is based on concepts of historical thinking. I assumed that the topic would be problematic and would lead to the fact that both teachers and pupils would take a certain value attitude towards it. Furthermore, the theme is followed from the concept of causes and consequences and contemporary perspectives.

Let's give life to recent history ... or how to teach contemporary history in high schools
Hofnerová, Marcela ; Mücke, Pavel (advisor) ; Vaněk, Miroslav (referee)
The diploma thesis entitled Let's revive recent history… or how to teach contemporary history in secondary schools is conceived in the form of a methodological manual for secondary school teachers who would like to understand their teaching of contemporary history in an interesting, research and effective way. It outlines the obstacles due to which teachers avoid contemporary history, and compares and evaluates history textbooks, which are among the most commonly used in teaching at secondary schools. It is also clear here how much space is devoted to contemporary history in these textbooks and which topics of contemporary history are preferred by the framework educational program. The work is focused on Czechoslovak and Czech contemporary history, for which it offers the possibility of using various Internet platforms, which are directly intended for teachers or from them can draw inspiration for their teaching. Last but not least, it also offers several activities involving working with sources or other period artifacts that can be used in class. At the same time, it offers the possibility of thematic excursions with supplementary material, which can be used to effectively supplement teaching. The work also presents a small research, which aims to map the attitude of history teachers to the...
