Biometric testing in the study of cognitive load in the ArcGIS StoryMaps environment
BLAŽEK, Vojtěch
The main focus of the present dissertation is a detailed analysis of how students interact with the ArcGIS StoryMaps web mapping application using biometric testing methods. The choice of this topic is related to the development and greater involvement of digital technologies in education, which was accelerated by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. The impact of digital technologies on contemporary society has caused a new industrial revolution 4.0, where most work processes are becoming automated, and computer controlled. This trend is reflected in curriculum reforms around the world. A common feature of curriculum reforms is the introduction of digital competencies and a change in the way we view the teaching of computer science. These changes transfer some of the requirements in the area of digital competences to other subjects, including geography. The introductory theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to the transformation of curriculum documents and the development of GIS, including its relation to geographic education in the perspective of the 21st century. An integral part is a summary of the existing knowledge in the field of cognitive load, including the possibilities of its measurement. The analytical part of the thesis focuses on the evaluation of data measured by the Gazepoint system.

Design of a web GIS application for analysis of tree-ring chronology data and presentation of its results
Svátková, Anna ; Brůha, Lukáš (advisor) ; Brodský, Lukáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis concerns the design of a web GIS application tailored for tree-ring chronology data processing. It describes the development of a script tool in Python computing the medians of Cropper values from input dendrochronological data. The medians then enter a regression function. The approximated values obtained by the regression are afterwards interpolated within a region in the north of the Kokořínsko protected landscape area, designated for this case study. The procedure of publishing the tool as a geoprocessing service at an ArcGIS Server is described next, as well as its subsequent use within a preset sample widget. The customized widget with the geoprocessing service connected to it is then embedded into a web application created in the ArcGIS Web AppBuilder environment. The functionality of the application is designed to allow the presentation of geoprocessing service analysis results. Keywords: dendrochronology, Cropper values, tree-ring chronologies, spatial regression, spatial interpolation, web application, web GIS, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Server, geoprocessing service, web tool, Python script, arcpy module, Web AppBuilder, custom widget
