The use of eye-tracking in chemistry didactics research
Tóthová, Martina ; Rusek, Martin (advisor) ; Popelka, Stanislav (referee) ; Doulík, Pavel (referee)
This dissertation thesis is an annotated collection of academic texts and summarizes the author's contributions to research on the use of eye-tracking and problem solving in the context of science education. The thesis responds to the growing use of eye-tracking in education and provides a systematic review of the current state of knowledge. Primary research has focused on chemical problem solving by upper-secondary school students. Using eye-tracking and think-aloud, the students' solving process was analyzed. The results showed that the observed students had low ability to solve these problems and often relied on limiting strategies such as guessing. Based on the problems identified, an action research intervention was designed. Regular inclusion of tasks, progressive learning and formative feedback led to improvements in pupils' abilities. The problem-solving ability of prospective chemistry teachers was tested in a similar manner. In addition to eye-tracking and think-alouds, a semi-structured interview was included in the research. It showed that there are significant problems in problem solving for prospective chemistry teachers, especially understanding the assignment. The dissertation thesis summarizes the contributions of the articles and proposes solutions to improve the current situation.
Interactive Whiteboard in Educational Practice

TITLE: Interactive Whiteboard in Educational Practise AUTHOR: Mgr. Lenka Žďárská DEPARTMENT: Department of Information Technology and Education SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Josef Procházka, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: Is it possible to use the interactive whiteboard as a phenomenon of today's education? Does it really make the process of education more efficient? Does it have any motivational potential and does it make a teacher's daily work easier? Offered dissertation will try to clarify these suggested questions. The Thesis is introduced by a theoretical part which describes the interactive whiteboard as a complex and integrates it into the current system of didactic tools. It also deals with the aspects of efficient language learning among which belong motivation and interactivity. The theoretical part is followed by the analyses of empirical research which is devoted to using the interactive whiteboard from teacher's and student's viewpoint. The main aim of this work is to incorporate the technical didactic tool - the interactive whiteboard into the current system of didactic tools and secondly, in experimental verification of its effects on teachers and students within educational process. KEYWORDS: didactic tools, interactive whiteboard, interactive teaching
