Collection of problems from algorithmization and programming
Lukš, Jan ; Štípek, Jiří (advisor) ; Novák, Jaroslav (referee)
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the issue of algorithmization and programming in high schools. It aims to create a set of programming exercises, including guidelines for teachers, which can then be used in programming classes. The theoretical part of the thesis defines and describes the concepts related to algorithmic, or more precisely, computational, thinking. The practical part of the thesis uses the theoretical background to explain the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed concept, and present basic information about the individual exercises. This part of the thesis also includes a web application, which enables the work to be carried out more comfortably within the guidelines. Finally, the suitability of the exercise concept is tested in the selected schools. Feedback is obtained through a questionnaire together with teacher interviews and evaluation, and suggested changes to the web application from the sub-tasks.

Virtual world in education
Šmarda, Radim ; Vaňková, Petra (advisor) ; Novák, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis deals with the development of computer and algorithmic thinking using virtual worlds, especially in the environment of the well-known computer game Minecraft. The aim of the thesis is to analyze virtual worlds as a way to develop algorithmic thinking in second grade primary school students, to map available solutions and to create a comprehensive set of practical tasks in a selected environment and then to conduct a research investigation verifying the selected solutions in the educational reality. The theoretical part of the thesis, in its introduction, focuses on the definition of terms directly related to the issue. Subsequently, the thesis analyses and maps the available tools suitable for the development of algorithmic thinking in the school environment. The main contribution of this thesis lies in the practically oriented part, which contains a collection of algorithmic problems created and tested in practice. This should serve as a theme for teachers in the subject of computer sciences. The tasks are in the form of methodological materials for block programming in a special version of the computer game Minecraft for schools and educational institutions. On the basis of all the obtained knowledge, the result of the work is the evaluation of the usefulness of virtual worlds as a...

Programming in elementary school and development of students' algorithmic thinking
Milichovská, Lucie ; Štípek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vaňková, Petra (referee)
This thesis deals with development of algorithmic thinking and teaching programming in elementary school. It focuses on available ways and tools suitable for classes. The practical part of the thesis is focused on children's programming language Scratch, which is one of the tools designed to be used for teaching. The main goal is to create comprehensive collections of tasks that develop algorithmic thinking of pupils aged 9 - 10 years. The tasks get more complex gradually so that the pupils don't need any previous programming experience. Also they are designed so that they can be solved without the assistance of a teacher. All the tasks were checked against a set of pupils in the given age range. The collection of tasks is also made available as a web presentation for the ease of further use.

Development of algorithmic thinking of primary school pupils
Vais, Jan ; Štípek, Jiří (advisor) ; Novák, Jaroslav (referee)
The presented diploma thesis examines the possibilities of developing algorithmic thinking in primary school pupils. Algorithmic thinking is a necessary tool for effective analysis of the problem and the creation of a procedure for its subsequent repeatable solution. The main research topic of this work is effective and efficient ways of developing algorithmic thinking, especially how to formulate a problem and how to develop algorithmic thinking with the greatest effect in the educational process. The work summarizes various ways of developing algorithmic thinking and the approach to its teaching. The concepts of computer thinking, algorithmic thinking, algorithm and algorithmization are defined and analyzed. Furthermore, contemporary means of developing algorithmic thinking described in the literature are specified. They are then critically evaluated and at the end of the theoretical part the most suitable set of means is selected and the way of their use is proposed. Action research was carried out in the circle of informatics at the primary school in Prague. The verification of the effectiveness of the selected instruments took place during fifteen sixty-minute lessons. The focus of this research lies in increasing the quality of pedagogical practice of the teacher, in the development of his didactic...

Robotic programmable devices (toys) in education
Němcová, Zuzana ; Vaňková, Petra (advisor) ; Lapeš, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor thesis is about robotic programmable devices (toys) and their possibilities of use in school practice. Its aim is to analyze the available robotic programmable toys suitable for teaching in primary schools and to describe the possibilities and ways of using these devices in teaching. The third goal is to verify the awareness of teachers at primary schools in the Central Bohemian Region about the possibilities of using robotic programmable toys and to propose recommendations based on the results. The thesis is divided into two parts, practical and theoretical. The first part describes the basic concepts used in the thesis, the analysis performed on selected robotic programmable toys, which aims to determine the most suitable robotic toys for use in teaching at first and second grade of primary school, and finally this part presents the possibilities and ways of using these devices in teaching focused on primary schools. The practical part includes the characteristics of quantitative research, research results and their evaluation with respect to the stated expectations and goals. Based on the research conclusions, recommendations for primary school teachers are proposed. This research was carried out using a questionnaire survey. This survey was conducted at selected primary schools in...
