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.

Gender in Education: Focus on Civic Education
Volejníková, Lucie ; Dvořáková, Michaela (advisor) ; Ondráček, Vojtěch (referee)
The thesis "Gender in Schools with a Focus on Civic Education" deals with the issue of gender in the school environment. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on gender identity, gender stereotypes, gender equality, and the reproduction of gender roles in schools. Special attention is also paid to the personality of teachers and their role in gender reproduction. The significance of their attitudes is analyzed in the chapter on subjective theory. The main research questions I addressed were: What is the attitude of a specific civic education teacher towards the gender topic? How does the attitude of a civic education teacher towards gender issues manifest in civic education teaching and what impact does it have on students? Therefore, the empirical part of the thesis was focused on a case study of a beginning civic education teacher, which I explored through a research probe. To gain a deeper understanding of the research problem, I employed a combination of three methods, specifically semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and focus groups. Keywords: gender, gender stereotype, school, subjective theory, civic education
