Badatelsky orientovaná výuka robotiky
KLOFÁČ, Patrik
Newly conceived informatics focused on the development of pupils' computational thinking is constantly looking for new topics and new modern teaching methods to support active pupils. In the school environment, robotics appears to be a suitable educational topic for developing IT skills, competences, and computational thinking. Working with robots will not be beneficial if the teaching methods are used with passive pupils, and are merely transmissive, and instructional. For these reasons, it is necessary to look for new methods, and one of the possibilities is inquiry-based learning. In general, the subject of inquiry-based learning in informatics and also in robotics is practically unexplored, and it is not yet clear what to imagine under the heading of such teaching. Therefore, the research is focused on teaching the basics of robotics with inquiry-based learning tasks. The goal of the research was to create inquiry-based learning tasks for robotics lessons, and to find out whether inquiry-based robotics learning contributes to the development of computational thinking of second stage primary school (or middle school) students in these three components of algorithmization, abstraction, and evaluation. The work is based on qualitative research, using the action research method. Data collection was ensured by interviews with teachers, observation, and filming of students at work, along with student questionnaires. The results of the research provided an interesting and important insight into the structure of the creation of robotics research tasks, as well as the starting points for how to improve such tasks, and even what aspects to pay attention to in teaching. The findings can contribute to the development of informatics teaching.

The use of Wi-Fi networks among primary schools
KLOFÁČ, Patrik
The purpose of this bachelor's work is to map the presence and use of the Wi-Fi networks at primary schools of the Vysočina region to identify benefits and negative aspects, which bring the given solutions, what role has the Wi-Fi during the education, to describe technologies of Wi-Fi security networks, which are suitable for placing into the environment of primary schools. Furthermore I would like to examine and describe the reasons, which led the schools to some definite sort of protection of the Wi-Fi networks. I am going to examine the proper literature, which should help me to dip into the depth of this problematic. I have focused on many cases in which a multiple case study was used. Detected cases were analyzed with a mutual comparison of given parts important for this thesis. I have visited several primary schools where I spoke with ICT coordinators and headmasters and I gained answers for my preparing list of questions.
