Integration of educational contents in Biology and Geography from the point of view of in-service teachers
SOUKUP, Radek
The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to find out how practical teachers perceive the integration of the educational contents of natural history and geography. Most elementary schools in the Czech Republic adhere to traditional education and divide the curriculum into separate subjects. Teaching in elementary schools is based on curriculum documents at the state and school level. The framework education program sets the general framework for the individual stages of education and the school education program. It provides the possibility to create educational subjects through the integration of educational contents of several educational fields, but also the use of cross-subject relationships in the classical concept in individual subjects. The aim of the survey was to find out how the teachers themselves view integration and how they implement it in their classes. The work includes an analysis of the current state of integrated teaching in selected schools. The analysis was carried out on the basis of a questionnaire survey among the approached teachers from practice. Teachers teaching geography, natural history, or both of these subjects at the same time were approached. A total of 10 practicing teachers voluntarily shared their opinions, observations, and experiences with integrated teaching. The interviewees also mentioned the ambiguities, doubts, and problems that they encounter or may encounter when implementing this type of teaching in practice. Based on a questionnaire survey, it was found that teaching in intersubjective relationships is applied in everyday practice. On the contrary, integration in the sense of integration of educational contents of several educational fields is hardly used by teachers in practice. For this type of teaching, according to the answers of the respondents, there is a lack of undergraduate training for future teachers, teaching materials and experience.

Francálková, Petra ; Vojíř, Karel (advisor) ; Pavlasová, Lenka (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the expected outputs in the school curriculum and the variability of natural history teaching in the Vysočina region. The aim of this work is to find out whether it is processed with the expected outputs and whether the teaching of natural history in the Vysočina region is varied and interesting. The work is divided into two parts, a theoretical part and a practical part. In the theoretical part, they describe the curriculum document, RVP, school legislation and what is the trend in science education. The practical part is divided into quantitative research and qualitative research. In the practical part, the expected outputs from 82 school education plans are classified according to coding, and model lessons of natural history at five selected schools are also described. In the diploma thesis, information is written about subject plans and curricula, and whether teachers are used. Excursions on which teachers and pupils most often completed several hours of auditions and thanks to these auditions, I was able to see several different teaching methods. These methods are described in the work. I ran into several problems at work. For example: "Is it important for the school to have significantly expanded expected outcomes? Is it possible to fulfill all these outputs? I...

Working with School Curriculum and Teaching Geography in Secondary Schools (Lower Secondary Education)
KALINA, Matyáš
The year 2007 marked the transition to a two-level system of educational documents for Czech education, which many described as a revolution. To this day, however, it is evident that for many schools and teachers this change took place only on paper, which also negatively affects the teaching of geography. This work provides an insight into the topics of working with school curriculum and teaching geography from the point of view of lower secondary education geography teachers. The theoretical part is devoted to the history and current system of Czech educational documents. The theory of geography teaching is also outlined. In the practical part, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 geography teachers, which made it possible to deepen the understanding of teaching geography and working with school curriculum. Due to the small number of interviewed teachers, the results cannot be considered representative, despite this, the work confirmed the formality of school curricula to a certain level. In many cases, the work of teachers and schools with school curriculum remains very shallow. The character of geography teaching contains significant differences among the teachers, the Czech educational system is highly differentiated. The research also pointed out the weak positions of human geography and fieldwork in the geography education at lower secondary education. The semi-structured interviews contained a total of 18 segments, 9 on working with school curriculum and 9 on selected aspects of geography teaching.
