Carbon Dioxide in Science Education (Study Aids for Grammar School)
Kristlová, Lucie ; Šulcová, Renata (advisor) ; Urbanová, Klára (referee)
Charles University in Prague - Faculty of Science Department of Teaching and Didactics of Chemistry Albertov 3, 128 40 Praha 2, Czech Republic CARBON DIOXIDE IN SCIENCE EDUCATION (STUDY AIDS FOR GRAMMAR SCHOOL) Bc. Lucie Kristlová lucie.kristlova@gmail.com In this thesis the principles of Framework Educational Programme and method IBSE alias Inquiry Based Science Education were summarized. The results of international research PISA 2006 were evaluated. In 2006 the focus was on scientific literacy. In the theoretical part the study supporting documents on the theme Carbon Dioxide were worked up. The documents would serve teachers of Chemistry and Biology mainly at the grammar schools. Methodically processed materials were created such as presentation, worksheet and subject matter of chemical experiments with the inclusion of the author solutions. The worksheet was verified by pupils at grammar school.

Demonstrations as an illustrative tool in chemistry education
Hájková, Zdeňka ; Šmejkal, Petr (advisor) ; Klečková, Marta (referee) ; Nižňanský, Daniel (referee)
Demonstrations are considered an important illustrative tool in chemistry education. Quite often teachers use demonstrations of experiments and multimedia demonstrations. Besides, "non-experimental" demonstrations might also be useful, such as material models and demonstrations based on macroscopic analogy that can be usually carried out only with household items and materials. This dissertation is especially aimed at selecting appropriate demonstrations, at their design, development and use of "non-experimental" demonstrations. Moreover, special attention was paid to the interdisciplinary demonstrations concerning the nanoworld, so called "nanodemonstrations". All "nanodemonstrations" presented are safe, cheap and rather timesaving. Furthermore, they can be carried out in a form of lecture and / or students' demonstration. Newly created as well as adopted (and modified) "nanodemonstrations" were collected into the Czech database of "nanodemonstrations". The database was additionally accompanied with following educational materials concerning "nano": two PowerPoint presentations, worksheets that supplement students' "nanodemonstrations" and worksheets with interdisciplinary tasks. This thesis also deals with the evaluation of "nanodemonstrations" and worksheets in secondary school classes. The...

Acid-base process - PowerPoint presentation for secondary schools
Velgová, Denisa ; Čtrnáctová, Hana (advisor) ; Urbanová, Klára (referee)
and keywords Acid-base process PowerPoint presentation for secondary schools Abstract: At the present time, the requirements for the quality of nature sciences education in secondary schools are steadily increasing. However, the time approbation for teaching is relatively limited. Using presentations is going to be a possible way to increase the effectiveness of educational process and to take the full advantage of teaching methods which have positive effect on the motivation and activation of students. The goal of this Diploma work is to create a collection of teaching presentations in the MS PowerPoint application with a view to a part of general chemistry, i.e. the theme Acid-base process in the curriculum for four-year grammar schools or alternatively for higher years of longer grammar schools. These presentations are processed to be used in the real chemistry lessons in secondary schools. The subject matter of the curriculum is divided into five chapters, one chapter corresponds to one presentation. In order to facilitate the orientation of potential user every presentation is provided with an accompanying text. The electronic version of presentations is attached to Diploma work. Keywords: secondary school chemistry, general chemistry, acid-base process, student motivation, PowerPoint presentation

Creation and a Use of Didactic Presentations in Teaching General Chemistry
Urbanová, Klára ; Čtrnáctová, Hana (advisor) ; Ganajová, Mária (referee) ; Cídlová, Hana (referee)
Cíle Hlavním cílem této disertační práce je nalézt vhodnou formu prezentací určených pro výuku tak, aby žáci při výuce doplněné prezentacemi byli aktivně zapojeni do výuky a spolupodíleli se na tvorbě znalostí, vědomostí a dovedností z oblasti obecné chemie. Součástí hlavního cíle práce je dále vytvořit soubor prezentací zahrnujících učivo obecné chemie pro střední školy tak, aby žáci byli schopni získané znalosti, vědomosti a dovednosti využívat ve studiu dalších oblastí chemie. Metody Při tvorbě prezentací jsme vycházely především ze zásady maximálního využití grafických a názorných prvků, tedy obrázků, schémat, fotografií, animací, grafů a tabulek. Dále jsme se snažily o dodržení zásad týkajících se barevnosti a typů písma (např. velikost písma minimálně 20 bodů, používání bezpatkového písma atd.) Dalším podkladem při tvorbě prezentací byla podrobná rešeršní práce. Vycházely jsme jednak z výzkumů, které se zabývají přímo ověřováním efektivity a dopadů prezentací na edukační proces [1, 2, 3, 4] , ale také z prací, které se věnují vlivu grafiky na proces učení a porozumění [4, 5]. V další fázi byli vyzváni učitelé, kteří měli zájem začlenit prezentace do výuky, aby se zúčastnili semináře, ve kterém jim byly tyto prezentace představeny a byly jim zodpovězeny dotazy, které se týkaly práce s prezentacemi ve...

Powerpoint presentation usage in geography education
Mrázová, Marcela ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Jelen, Libor (referee)
The thesis studies using PowerPoint presentation in geography teaching, especially for the impact of visualized substance on the effectiveness of teaching. The theoretical part is followed by questionnaire survey to monitor the current situation in Czech schools. Students and teachers of Geography were asked if they are computer users and how are their subjective views and experiences of using PowerPoint in teaching. I also examined the technical background of Czech schools and whether there is even possible to use audio-visual technology in education. I also asked which teaching method was preferred by students and whether they prefered the lessons with PowerPoint presentations. The numer of 62 teachers and 283 students were participants in this survey. Most of them is an ordinary computer user. PowerPoint presentations are often used in Geography. Their opinion of using powerpoint presentations in lessons is rather positive. The most popular method among students is an interpretation, which corresponds with the most common PowerPoint usage. The second part of the thesis includes qualitative research of effectiveness using PowerPoint in Geography lessons. In two parallel classes, there were teached substance, which has been visualized by PowerPoint presentation in one class and by any analog...
