Fauna in local texts and in presentations of water management options for regional education at a primary school in Suchdol nad lužncí (South Bohemia)
MLNAŘÍKOVÁ BINTEROVÁ, Helena
Fauna of Local Flowing and Stagnant Waters from the Point of View of Regional Natural Science Taught at the Primary School in Suchdol nad Lužnicí (South Bohemia). Bachelor thesis. University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, České Budějovice, 60 p. This work focuses on the use of local waters in teaching natural history at the second level of the Primary School in Suchdol nad Lužnicí. The educational program here allows teachers to create their own school curriculum and include in it the subject matter that is related to their surroundings. The work is focused on textbook analysis, on a quick faunistic survey, and on a route proposal for a teaching in terrain. The results could serve as a material for the route design for a possible natural science walk. At the same time, it provides a brief overview of aquatic animals that are found in local waters around the school.

Title: On-the-fly Formative Assessment in Biology Lessons
CIHLÁŘOVÁ, Magdaléna
The diploma thesis deals with informal formative assessment, namely one of its methods, which is "on the fly" assessment. Methods of formative assessment are frequently discussed in the current teaching conception, as their implementation into teaching leads to the development of student's learning and at the same time it provides useful information about the process of student's learning and about the quality and effectiveness of the teacher's teaching. The means for finding out this information is often the feedback in teacher-student interactions. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the use of "on the fly" assessment in biology lessons at an elementary school. The first part of the thesis presents a literary research. The second part is devoted to the presentation of the results, in particular to the analysis of the observed lessons with focus on the frequency of interactions between the students and the teacher, using the method of providing immediate feedback. In total, ten biology lessons were analysed at one selected school. All the lessons were transcribed and deeper analysed using the ESRU model. The main goal was to identify cases when the ESRU cycle was completed and included all four sub-steps on which it is based. The results have shown the most frequent use of incomplete cycles or impaired complete ESR cycles, and at the same time it has emerged that the occurrence of immediate formative feedback is not conditioned by completeness, i.e. the presence of all the steps of the ESRU cycle. It has been also found out that the ESRU model provides important information about informal formative assessment procedures, mainly it usefully distinguishes the different steps of the interaction and thus shows its flow, which goes beyond the general description of feedback.

Options of Approach to Teaching of Morphology of Leaf at Lower Secondary School
Němečková, Linda ; Pavlasová, Lenka (referee) ; Skýbová, Jana (referee)
The thesis deals with the options of approach to teaching leaf morphology at lower secondary schools from both theoretical and emprical point of view. The empirical part is then verified on-site within the teaching process. The theoretical part is dedicated to the topic of leaf and particular aspects of the teaching process. The empirical part at first attempts to conduct a survey of the methods and organization forms of teaching applied at particular lower secondary schools within the teaching of leaf morfology. Afterwards, it analyses selected textbooks used for teaching biology. Next part describes suggested methods and organization forms of teaching applied less frequently during the education. The second goal of the thesis is to put in practice the methods and organization forms of teaching within an educational experiment. Afterwards, a didactic test is used at representative schools to verify the efficiency. At the end of the thesis, the results of the following are presented: the observation of teaching leaf morphology, the analysis of the biology textbooks content, and the didactic test. The results of the didactic test demonstrate the extent to which the skills and knowledge of the students are effected by the methods and organization forms of teaching applied within the educational...

Assessment in Biology Education in Cesky Krumlov and Surroundings
STRAPKOVÁ, Jana
Assessment system is an integral part of all educational processes. Because of that, assessment methods for specific subjects are still an actual issue for many lecturers and researchers, who discuss their effectiveness and suitability of use as a part of certain subjects or other educational activities. Specific assessment methods used during the integrated science lessons as well as personal opinions of pupils were investigated with the questionnaire survey performed in various elementary schools throughout Český Krumlov district. Nowadays the prevalent assessment methods is summative one, mostly represented by grades received at the end of certain educational unit. However, there is an increasing number of modern educational methods implemented into the education and some of them allow to use the formative assessment, otherwise called as continuous assessment. Some items in the questionnaire were also focused on pupils' experience with formative assessment and their attitude to this evaluation approach.

Assessment in Biology Education in Tabor and surroundings
CIHLÁŘOVÁ, Magdaléna
Bachelor thesis is focused on monitoring the assessment methods used in biology lessons in Tabor and surroundings. Data was obtained through a questionnaire survey at secondary schools and grammar school with the emphasis on students' personal opinions and experiences in relation to individual assessment approaches, including experience with formative assessment, which is currently the subject of interest and discussion. This bachelor thesis consists of review devoted characterization methods and types of assessment. The practical part introduces the research results. The results showed that the oral and written examination were the most frequently used assessment instrument in the biology lessons. These instruments were also stated to be the most beneficial method from respondents' point of view. More than half of the respondents at schools in the selected region had experience with the formative assessment. There were no significant differences in using of the formative assessment between selected schools.

Assessment in Biology Education in Ceske Budejovice and Surroundings
LIŠKOVÁ, Jana
VOMÁČKOVÁ J. 2015: Assessment in Biology Education in Ceske Budejovice and surroundings. Bachelor thesis. Faculty of Education, University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice. 39 pp. Assessment is the key part to all educational and pedagogic activities. Based on this, assessment is nowadays often discussed not only in the academic sphere but also by teachers doing the practical job. This is especially viewed from the point of the effectiveness and adequacy of individual assessment methods in concrete subjects taught. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to monitor assessment methods currently used in Biology lessons. This has been done through questionnaires used with grammar school students and elementary school students attending the second level study in the Ceske Budejovice region. The results show assumptive assessment methods prevail with teachers mainly focusing on the students knowing definitions, facts and formulae. New activating methods are being introduced in Biology lessons, which makes the assessment of students' performance more difficult. Formative assessment might be the answer to this. In the part of the questionnaire where the students´ personal experience, preferences and opinions have been monitored, it has been found out students themselves consider this type of assessment more motivating and beneficial then the assumptive one.

NĚMEC, Filip
This thesis deals with the diversity of invertebrate animals in the common natural environment of gardens. It summarizes the range of natural history books for the 6th grade and frequency of species of invertebrates are shown in tabular summary. There are presented results of fauna survey of the chosen garden, which took place in various aspects of the season. Based on the results of the analysis of textbooks and fauna survey of the project proposal was prepared for the teaching of natural history in elementary school, which can be used as a methodological tool for teachers of natural history.
