Kalinová, Petra ; Janský, Bohumír (advisor) ; Šobr, Miroslav (referee)
Water scarcity is one of the current issues not only in the Czech Republic. Given the fact that drought has hit the territory of the Czech Republic several times recently and also climate change, it is essential for our country to be able to prepare for repeated drought periods. Possibilities for dealing with the drought in the Czech Republic, including examples of concrete measures, as well as other basic information regarding drought in the Czech Republic, are presented in this bachelor's thesis. However, the main goal of this bachelor's thesis is to create a project day on the topic of Water scarcity in the Czech Republic. The creation of the project day is part of the PERUN project, which is focused on climate change and drought and its impact on the territory of the Czech Republic. The project day was verified in practice in the form of a pretest-posttest design, thus confirming its effectiveness and testing the quality of the materials used. In the vast majority of cases, positive trend of increasing correct answers amongst students is visible, and thus the participating students deepened their knowledge regarding this issue. Key Words: water scarcity, Czechia, high schools, tuition

Learning Progression-Based Assessment of Modern Genetics
Procházka, Marek ; Janštová, Vanda (advisor) ; Jáč, Martin (referee)
Molecular biology and genetics represent some of the most challenging biological topics for students, a correct understanding is also essential for the other chapters of biology and chemistry. The learning progression test is a tool that allows to determine the level of understanding of the given fields, which can serve as feedback that can be followed up in a targeted manner in further teaching. The aim of this work was to translate and subsequently validate the test of learning progression in molecular biology and genetics from the English original "Learning Progression-Based Assessment of Modern Genetics". Another goal of the thesis was to explain the possible influence of variables (e.g. participation in a biology seminar, science competitions or future study focus) on the overall score. Validation took place in several phases (checking the translation by experts and didactics, testing at schools and subsequent evaluation and analysis). Grammar school students completed the test online during biology class. They achieved a low level of understanding of heredity at the molecular level, further in the area of the influence of the environment on genetic information, the transfer of genetic information to offspring, and in general it is difficult for them to apply theoretical knowledge to specific...

Financial Products in Secondary School Education
Grausgruberová, Romana ; Tichá, Milena (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Michaela (referee)
The thesis deals with the analysis of the teaching of financial products in different types of secondary schools and grammar schools with special attention to the comparison of teaching of this issue. In the theoretical part it focuses on the theoretical knowledge of financial products, their classification and terminology. It explains the different types of financial products, such as savings and investment products, loans and various forms of insurance. The advantages and disadvantages of each financial product are highlighted, with an emphasis on critical thinking in choosing the most appropriate product. The practical part is based on a content analysis of the Framework Education Programme and School Education Programme as a framework for teaching financial products in secondary schools and grammar schools. The research then seeks to answer the question of what teaching financial products looks like in practice. The real situation in teaching is outlined by teachers in the form of in-depth interviews. This focuses on different approaches and methods in teaching, the materials used, the involvement of students' practical understanding, but also on the approach to the topic of teaching financial literacy itself, of which financial products are an integral part. During the research, many...

Application of Constructivist Elements in the Teaching of the Czech Language in the First Year
Sotonová, Jana ; Babušová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eliška (referee)
This thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part discusses what communication means and its types. What constructivism means and what is the difference between transmissive and constructivist teaching. Furthermore, the issue of children's preconcepts and their use is discussed. The practical part focuses on the application of constructivist elements to the teaching of Czech language. In practice, we mean that pupils should deduce a lesson, rule or principle on the basis of their own efforts, previous experience, constructivist/exploratory approach. Furthermore, it is aimed at discovering preconcepts in pupils or their ideas. At the same time, the aim of the thesis is to create activities for Czech language classes that support constructivist teaching. Thus, pupils use constructivist elements to work. The research includes preparations that include activities focusing on the core curriculum of the second year, among which we include: writing i,í/y,ý hard and soft groups, writing ů, ú and meaning relationships of words. Worksheets, analysis and interview were used to identify the objectives.

A feedback profiling model for cybersecurity education and training
Lazarov, Willi ; Kuchař, Karel (referee) ; Martinásek, Zdeněk (advisor)
The need to educate users to some extent in cybersecurity is undeniable given the ever-increasing cyber threats. However, the approach to education and training cannot be simply generalized due to the different environments, technical backgrounds, and age groups of users. In addition, it is also important to proactively monitor, evaluate, and provide feedback to the individuals being taught or trained. The master's thesis addresses these challenges through the research and development of a feedback profiling model for effective cybersecurity education and training. The thesis first begins with a discussion of methods and techniques for cybersecurity education. Subsequently, the problem addressed is described in more detail, followed by the design of the proposed solution in the form of the profiling model with automatic feedback. The model, which consists of a profiling matrix, a profiling algorithm, and a learning curve, was first created and expressed mathematically without considering the properties of a particular cyber range platform and programming language, especially for easy replication, modification, and extension. Independently, the profiling model was implemented and subsequently integrated into the Brno University of Technology Cyber Arena (BUTCA) platform to validate the model on learning data from students of grammar schools, technical high schools, and universities. The resulting solution of this thesis brings to the cybersecurity field a new innovative approach to the evaluation of learned and trained users with an emphasis on individual feedback and continuous learning.
