Karel 3D - Application for Teaching of Programming
Čoupek, Vojtěch ; Regéciová, Dominika (referee) ; Křivka, Zbyněk (advisor)
The work provides a survey of the tools available for the teachers of Informatics who teach students the basics of programming. The main aim is to create the implementation of Karel pedagogic language inspired by the work of Andrej Blaho and his colleagues for MS-DOS platform. The new web application is introduced that expands the functionality of the original language with variables and includes the up-to-date elements of the user interface, such as block programming, highlighting the language syntax, syntax checking and 3D graphics. The application also provides a set of basic examples for teachers and allows them to create their own tasks.

Analysis of current trends in programming teaching
Hrách, Lukáš ; Pecinovský, Rudolf (advisor) ; Pavlíčková, Jarmila (referee)
The aim of this Bachelor´s thesis is to map trends in programming and their use in educati-on. This objective is achieved by analysing trends in programming in the present as well as predictions for the near future and by subsequent interviews with experts that teach pro-gramming in Czech schools. The next part of the thesis analyses methodologies for teaching programming. In more detail, it focuses on the methodology called Architecture First cre-ated by the supervisor of this thesis Ing. Pecinovský. Based on the conducted survey, the obtained data were discussed and various problems related to teaching programming were described. Furthermore, the thesis offers solutions to teaching students and implementing trends in education that could make learning easier for students. Therefore the main contribution of this thesis is a set of recommendations for teaching programming with emphasis on introductory courses.

Test-Driven Development
Kopecký, Martin ; Buchalcevová, Alena (advisor) ; Mészáros, Jan (referee)
Contemporary software applications must provide high amount of reliability and have to be able to respond to the rapid changes in their environment. Test-Driven Development is a technique, which tries to enable and simplify the development of such applications. The main aim of this bachelor thesis is the practical application of this technique on the development of a computer program in Java programming language. General description of the studied technique and slight modifications leading to better integration with BlueJ IDE were necessary in order to achieve the primary goal. The mission of this bachelor thesis is to introduce the Test-Driven Development to the students of the University of Economics in Prague and provide them with a teaching material. The main contribution to the field is in the modification of an existing theoretical approach and its practical application. The thesis starts with the description of Test-Driven Development technique, its prerequisites, the procedure itself and the resulting benefits. The procedure is then redefined to integrate with BlueJ and to enable the programmer to use the features of the IDE as well. The development of the sample program is afterwards driven by the edited procedure.
