Janeček, Pavel ; Nálevka, Vladimír (advisor) ; Tůma, Oldřich (referee)
The relations between Czechoslovakia and North Korea started in October 1948. The Czechoslovak Republic as one of the first countries in the world acknowledged Kim 11-sung's state. In the following two years, no progress was made in Czechoslovak-North Korean relations. The Czechoslovak legation was founded in September 1950, the first North Korean envoy arrived in July 1951. The relationship was very friendly in years 1950-53. In fact, it was rather an alliance. After the beginning of the Korean War, Czechoslovakia protested against measures taken by the Security Council. Czechoslovak communist leaders considered the intervention against North Korean aggression illegal. During summer 1950, many resolutions against "American imperialism" were sent to the United Nations from Czechoslovakia. Economic aid to North Korea also started in the summer of 1950. Until the end of the war in Korea, goods worth 800 million crowns were sent from Czechoslovakia. As another means of help to North Korea, Czechoslovakia took care of nine hundred Korean children and provided education for 170 high school students and 150 university students. The Czechoslovak Republic also sent a military hospital with two hospital teams consisting of 58 people to Korea in 1952. The total value of Czechoslovak aid was about 1 000 millions...

Dvořáková, Michaela ; Spilková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Stará, Jana (referee) ; Brtnová Čepičková, Ivana (referee)
Preparing student teachers for constructivist teaching about society in primary grades Michaela Dvořáková Abstract The content of primary social studies could be described as cultural universals - domains of human existence that form part of everybody's experience. Despite that, children do need a skilled instruction helping them to elaborate these topics. We suppose that for the constructivist teachers, deep content knowledge and pedagogic content knowledge is necessary to elaborate and conceptualize children's experiences. In this thesis, we wanted to learn more about the knowledge base of pre-service teachers. To explore the education students' content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of social studies topics, we elicited students' concepts related to the topic of family using concept mapping. Then we performed the content analysis of the obtained concepts. We tried to determine whether pre-service teachers rely on their prior knowledge (including misconceptions) of family or whether they use the knowledge gained in social science classes at the high school or at our university. Students do not use their academic knowledge gained in social studies classes spontaneously, but they are able to do when prompted. An important part of pedagogical content knowledge of a social studies teacher are the...

Analysis of foreign language interactions in the context of early immersion. Qualitative research of communication strategies based on videorecording.
KŘIKAVOVÁ, Alena
This diploma thesis focuses on teaching German language to preschool children in Czech nursery schools. The theoretical section defines the conditions of early foreign language learning and opinions on it, and presents arguments for early German as a second language learning. Suitable methods for education of preschool children are discussed as well. The aim of this thesis is to determine and compare how early foreign language learning is realized in particular preschool institutions, based on the information from videos made within the project "Intercultural education of children, students and teachers". E.g. whether the children understand instructions given in foreign language and the teacher's speech, the extent to which the communication takes place in German within the group, which activities are most often used, the ways or forms of implementation of these activities and whether they meet the conditions of early foreign language learning. The diploma thesis summarizes the education methods of individual preschool institutions and identifies potential mistakes made, and it suggests more effective ways of teaching.
