Cancer and inclusion of the topic into biology education at high school
Baudyšová, Alžběta ; Kotvaltová Sezemská, Karolína (advisor) ; Chlebounová, Irena (referee)
Nowadays, cancer is one of the most common causes of death in developed countries. Despite the increased media coverage of the illness not all high school students are able to describe why and how tumours are developed and what is the correct prevention. The main goal of this diploma thesis is to design a novel teaching activity that will deepen the knowledge about the issues surrounding cancer and give students a greater insight into the disease. This teaching activity is based on cooperative learning - an instructional strategy where students work together on a common assignment. It will also confirm what students have learned so far in molecular and cell biology, human physiology or biochemistry. The activity was successfully validated in biology lessons at Prague high school. Key words Cancer, cooperative learning, high school, biology education

Panušová, Lenka ; Frainšic, Michal (advisor) ; Vomáčko, Ladislav (referee)
Title: Influence of Cooperative Games on Social Atmosphere in the Class Objectives: The goal of the thesis is to detect the importance of influence of a half-day cooperative program on relationships within one class and subsequent perception of social atmosphere in the class. Methods: The standardized questionnaire "Hodnotenie sociálnej atmosféry v triede" was used for data acquisition. 72 respondents of first three years of Jan Neruda Grammar School in Prague participated on the research. Statistic methods like arithmetic average, modus or median were used for data evaluation. Results: The positive shift in evaluation of social atmosphere in the class was visible in all analysed groups. Nevertheless in the control group 1.D. where the cooperative program was not used there was a more significant improvement than in one of experimental groups. We proved that a half-day program of cooperative games is not sufficient for fulfilment of intentions to influence relationships within the class, but it can point out the deficiencies of social atmosphere in the class. Keywords: cooperation, communication, group dynamics, cooperative learning, class environment
