Lacina, Martin Jakub ; Jedličková, Tereza (advisor) ; Matějka, Dobroslav (referee)
Teaching geology at lower and upper secondary school level in the Czech Republic consists of several compulsory thematic units established by the Framework Educational Programmes. Nevertheless, some topics are often not taught, despite they are included in textbooks. One of them is e.g. The Evolution of the Earth's Crust and Organisms on Earth. In this bachelor thesis the available textbooks are analysed according to this topic. The topic is discussed in terms of educational content, namely the occurrence and explanation of key concepts, selected subject matter and individual geological periods. Furthermore, the clarity of interpretation of this topic, cross curricular and interdisciplinary relations and additional information and questions for pupils were analysed. Based on the obtained information, one block of lessons was designed. It follows constructivist approach to learning and respects the current requirements for the modern concept of teaching. Main aim of the proposed lessons is to support the interest in chosen topic and to convey it to pupils and teachers in a more attractive way.
