Teacher's opinions on the opportunities for increasing the attractiveness of the subjects Introduction to Science, Natural Science, Natural History and Biology at primary and secondary schools
Semecký, Martin ; Poupová, Jana (referee)
A number of studies show that the interest of pupils in primary and secondary schools in science subjects is declining. Most Czech authors study this issue from the perspective of pupils. The aim of our research was therefore to learn the opinions of, and hear suggestions from, teachers on the opportunities for making education more attractive and increasing the popularity of the subjects Introduction to Science, Natural Science, Natural History, and Biology in primary and secondary schools and to compare these school levels with one another. The research was carried out by qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with twelve active teachers from the Liberec region who teach the above-mentioned subjects at the first stage of basic school (=ISCED⁏ 4 teachers), the second stage of basic school (=ISCED⁏ 4 teachers), and at the higher and lower level of grammar school (=ISCED 2+3; 4 teachers).

Flora o f Jizera's Mountains ecosystem and its use in education of biology science at elementary schools and high schools is the topic of the gratuation thesis (dissertation). Theoretical part of the gratuation thesis (dissertation) includes a description of Jizera's Mountains to its regarding preserve space, botanic, zoology and geology. It also includes information about history, land, tourism, climate, typical ecosystems in Jizera's Mountains etc. The last chapter of theoretical part is addressed to research and monitoring of Jizera's Mountains. Research has been continuing under management of CHKO Jizera's Mountains. The main goal of the this gratuation thesis (dissertation) was to develop school project in area of botanic and ecology in one's behalf scholar 2. quadratic. This project should be realized in elementary schools and high schools located in Jizera's Mountains. The Moreever this project should be used as part of education in the class of biology science during the school year. This school project has five work sheets which are framed for neighborhood in elementary schools and high schools in the region of Jizera's Mountains.
