Selection and development of educational materials for high school support webpage www.studiumchemie.cz
Zaspalová, Jana ; Šmejkal, Petr (advisor) ; Petrželová, Simona (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with selection, design and creation of new education materials for high school teacher supporting webpage www.studiumchemie.cz. The selection of the proper theme was done on the basis of research and evaluation of recent materials on the mentioned webpage and materials created at the Department of chemical education of Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague. Preliminarily, the themes of synthetic macromolecular materials and new materials were selected. The convenience of the selected themes was confirmed by research and evaluation concerned to the preliminarily selected theme of recent high school textbooks and webpages. Consequently, educational materials in the form of PowerPoint presentations, websites, worksheets, tests, games and experiments focused on the themes of synthetic macromolecular substances and new materials were created. Materials were processed in accordance with the Framework Education Programme for Secondary General Education (Grammar Schools) as well as in accordance with the requirements of the Catalogue of graduation exam requirements from chemistry. The PowerPoint presentation and the webpage on synthetic macromolecular materials were roughly evaluated by group of teachers and the results of the evaluation are also part of the thesis....

Support material for teaching NMR spectroscopy at secondary schools
Tomanová, Marie ; Tošner, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Hrubý, Martin (referee)
Nuclear magnetic resonance is an important, irreplaceable and very common method used in chemistry and medicine. From this perspective, it is highly desirable to implement NMR spectroscopy into high school education. But unfortunately there is not enough material in the Czech language, which would correspond to a high school student's level of knowledge. This thesis looks at creating support materials for teaching NMR spectroscopy and the possibilities of its implementation into high school education. For this purpose, following materials were prepared: an educational text, tests and a database of measured spectra (appendix on CD). Materials were tested in the form of a directed interview and then modified according to the results. This testing confirmed that the text is clear, motivating, and that this topic would be appreciated by both students and teachers. The materials will be available for teachers and high school students at the educational portal studiumchemie.cz. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Nanotechnology: Implementation of contemporary progress into science education at secondary school and in education of future chemistry teachers
Hájková, Zdeňka ; Šmejkal, Petr (advisor) ; Procházka, Marek (referee)
This rigorous thesis is focused on possible ways how to implement interesting and important findings from the field called "nanoworld" into the curriculum of science subjects at secondary school. For this purpose the following materials were prepared: an educational text (which also serves as a theoretical base that summarises basic information about nanotechnology and nanoscience), a multimedia Power- Point presentation, a concept of a project "When you say NANOTECHNOLOGY...", a concept of an excursion, motivational and developing interdisciplinary tasks with the theme "nano", two tests aimed at nanotechnology and advanced microscopy techniques (electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy) and simply demonstrations. The proposed project was tested at two grammar schools in Prague. The excursion was also realized and evaluated. Both the project as well as the excursion met with an average response from students. This thesis is accompanied by a CD with the presentation and print versions of the project, pre-test, post-test and worksheets for the excursion, interdisciplinary tasks and test items. In addition, the CD contains photos and students work from the realization of the pro- ject. Furthermore, this thesis includes the questionnaire "Teach (learn) about "nano" - YES or NO?" (with...
