Designing CLIL activities for teaching mathematics at upper secondary school level
Řehák, Česlav ; Moraová, Hana (advisor) ; Novotná, Gabriela (referee)
This thesis seeks to create, test and discuss the success of several activities for the second year of the upper secondary education, where the target language is English with 20 % of all lessons taught with the use of CLIL. Individual activities are described from the points of view of the planned and the piloted course of the lesson, including reflection on which aspects of the activity worked and which require further adjustments in order to improve upon the motivational and educational impact. At the end of the thesis, the reception of the activities by the students, the influence of CLIL teaching on the students' motivation and the enthusiasm with which they participated is summarised. The fulfilment of the thematic plan and most importantly the common attributes of those activities that can be viewed as successful in respect to piloting are discussed. These notions are put into context of the generally accepted principles of CLIL teaching, which are described in the theoretical part. The need to create new teaching materials and develop new activities for upper secondary mathematics are discussed and defended in the theoretical part.

Chapters of the Nuclear Fusion for Secondary Schools
Řehák, Česlav ; Mlynář, Jan (advisor) ; Koupilová, Zdeňka (referee)
Title: Chapters from nuclear fusion for high school education Author: Česlav Řehák Department: Didactics of physics Supervisor: RNDr. Jan Mlynář, Ph.D., Faculty of nuclear physics and engineering, ČVUT Abstract: Text of this thesis is intended for anyone interested in nuclear fusion, although it is especially aimed for education of physics in high schools. The thesis sums up the basic principles of fusion reactions in space and explains it's importance for life on Earth. Additionally, it points out some of the most crucial problems of present world energetics and introduces controlled thermonuclear fusion as a possible solution. The thesis clarifies some of the most important aspects of controlled fusion research, especially the branch of magnetic confinement reactors, and provides the most significant advantages and disadvantages of this potential power source. It also offers variety of illustrative pictures. Keywords: Nuclear fusion, energetics, magnetic confinement, tokamak
