Vermicomposter as Teaching Aid in Environmental Education
Panský, Martin ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Jančaříková, Kateřina (referee)
In my bachelor thesis, I deal with a phenomenon which, in recent years, has become known among the general public - vermicomposting. This thesis is oriented to didactic application. It is aimed at verifying the possibility of creating and operating a vermicomposts at school environment and examining the possibilities of its usage in teaching to fulfil the objectives of Environmental Education. The main goal was to find out whether the vermicompost can serve as a full-fledged teaching aid both frontal education and project method of teaching. I have prepared several illustrative projects for this method. The location and operation of vermicomposts at school environment raises a number of other aspects that I have also mentioned. The course of the project implementation and usage of vermicomposts in the classroom is devoted to the practical part of my work. In the theoretical part, I try to approach the areas of dealing with the topic of biodegradable waste, the phenomenon of composting (with the emphasis on vermicomposting), Environmental Education and the status of learning aids and teaching methods. The realization of the project Vermicomposting at school was allowed at the place of my work - Santoška Primary School Prague 5. Lessons of Handicrafts, Biology and Chemistry were suitable for it....
Biology Textbooks in Sexual Instruction in Selected Schools
Kopicová, Eliška ; Novotný, Petr (advisor) ; Vančata, Václav (referee)
In this work I have been focusing on the educational use of textbooks, especially natural history textbooks, for sex education by the teachers of selected schools. First, I conducted a theoretical introduction to the issue of textbooks and teaching sex education. Then my interviews with teachers examined how sex education is taught and whether the teachers use their textbooks as teaching aid. I have thoroughly analysed these interviews, from which I then draw my conclusions: how textbooks are used as a teaching aid and the impact of the quality of textbooks on their use. Furthermore, I conducted my subjective evaluation of the textbooks that teachers said they use. I compared this review to the evaluation of teachers, so I could carry out a discussion of these views. As the result of my work I find that some of the teachers participating in my research use the textbook as teaching aid, some not. Their decision is not affected by the quality of the topic in the textbooks. Of much greater importance is the form of sex education the teacher chooses and how the topic is being explained.

Zoological preparation techniques in school practice
Odcházelová, Tereza ; Mourek, Jan (advisor) ; Šíma, Petr (referee)
This thesis consists of description of chosen methods of permanent macroscopic zoological preparations. I verified successfully all the methods in practice and in case of methodological difficulties I optimized them for use in the school environment. In this work I answered the questions that could come up throughout the preparation process, for example: how to preserve the animal correctly; where to acquire the animal legally; what is the best way to maintain the animal's natural colour; what materials to use for the preparation and so on. According to current approaches I created not only a text based version of the manual of all verified preparation methods, but also an online version in form of a web site. To clarify the methods I included video sequences, photographs and schemes. With this e- learning course a teacher will be able to extend the school collection with his own preparations and also will be able to recognize what significant characteristics to point out. As a part of my work I have done a questionnaire focused on using various types of equipment in biology lectures. I have asked primary school teachers and high school teachers from all regions in the Czech Republic. This questionnaire was sent online and 322 out of 1636 people responded. The answers tell us that teachers...

Montessori's Aid as a Tool to Support Graphomotorics Development of Preschool Child with Down Syndrome
KAMENICKÁ, Petra
This bachelor thesis adresses the theme The Montessori teaching aid as an instrument to support graphomotoric developement of a preschool child with Down syndrome. The theoretical part of the thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter focuses on individuals with Down syndrome. The second chapter deals with the developement of a preschool child and specifically with the developement of a preschool child with Down syndrome. The third chapter describes in great detail the principles of the Montessori programme. The last chapter focuses on the Montessori facilities for preschool children in the Czech republic. The main goal of the thesis was to find out in which ways can an adapted teaching aid made by the principles of Marie Montessori help develop the graphomotoric skills of preschool children with Down syndrome. The first partial goal was to find out, through interviews with teachers, which part of the Montessori material it would be suitable to elaborate on. Another partial goal was to analyse the process of the work of the children with M. Montessori´s original teaching aid for developing graphomotoric skills. The third partial goal was focused on the production of an adapted teaching aid made by the principles of M. Montessori that would improve the graphomotoric skills of children with Down syndrome. The fourth goal was to field test the aid . In agreement with the four goals, four research questions were set. To reach the estabilished goals the technique of a qualitative research was used. The methods of a semi-constructed interview with the teachers in the Montessori Children's Center, involved observation and individual work with girls with Down sydrome were used to collect the data for the practical part and finally the method of a secondary analysis of document data containing the work directions to original Montessori equipment for graphomotoric skills developement was used. The research took course from January to April 2015 in the Montessori Children's Center in České Budějovice. Two preschool girls with Down syndrome and three teachers from the Montessori centrum whom i had interviewed were in the target group. The results of my bachelor thesis are original handmade teaching aids based on the M. Montessori pedagogic principles whose aim is to help develop the graphomotoric skills of preschool children. The first aid is a pack of sixteen cards with graphomotoric elements. This aid is desined to properly fixate the shapes of graphomotoric elements and can serve as a first step in learning how to write capital letters. The second aid is desined to help develop the proper grip and is made in two modifications. These modifications differ in the type of material that the child puts into an egg box. Both aids fulfil the principles and policies of the Montessori programme. It was found out through observation that both of the handmade aids helped develop the estabilished categories mastering the pincer grip, improvement of the orientation on a surface, they contributed to the relaxation of the hand and it was possible to gain the proper ideas about the shapes of graphomotoric elements through them. The results of the experimental research show that the teaching aids were benefitial for the girls. The girls worked with the teaching aids systematically, following estabilished principles and everytime they finished the work they had started. Working with the first aid they gained an awareness about shapes of graphomotoric elements using their sight and touch. The second aid helped them to develop the proper pincer grip and to improve their tactile sensation. Both aids also helped to improve the ability of the girls to orient on a work surface.
