TITLE: Highschool students practical knowledge of nature subjects AUTHOR: Bc. Kamila Štěpánka Moravcová DEPARTMENT: Biology and Environmental Studies Department SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Petr Novotný, Ph.D. Abstract This text is aiming to species identification. Main target is how good or bad are students of secondary education (junior high school) in species identification. Theoretical part: Definition of basic terminilogy and detailed research and comparison (outcomes and methodics) of previous testings and questionaires of pre-school childern, primary, secondary and college students. Practical part: 1) Pre-research: Making lists of species, which would be used to test students. These lists were based on what contained students notes and what contained biology education itself. 2) Research: I was testing students and I compared outcomes with previous testings. Result is, that species identification is part of biology education, which still needs developing, because students aren't good at all in species identification. Key words: species knowledge, species identification, product of nature

TITLE: Identification Keys as a Way of Getting to Know the Nature AUTHOR: Petr Novotný DEPARTMENT: Biology and Environmental Studies Department SUPERVISOR: doc. PhDr. Petr Dostál, CSc. ABSTRACT: This doctoral thesis deals with biological identification keys. It aims to unify and clarify the terminology used to describe the identification keys, to describe the evolution of the concept of these keys and their typology. It describes their role and importance in education from the perspective of current didactic overview as well as from the perspective of Czech historical botanical keys. The aim of the research part is to design and validate methods for assessing identification keys. This research has been divided into two themes - the analysis of a key and the testing of a key. As the result of this processing is a design of identification keys evaluation model. This model is validated on the current Czech botanical designation key Kubát (2002). Based on thesis outcomes, it is possible to better understand the theoretical basis of identification keys and their role in the process of getting to know the nature. KEYWORDS: Theory of Identification Keys; Identification Keys Evaluation; Biological Species Cognition;
