Gáthy, Zuzana ; Hána, David (advisor) ; Nováček, Aleš (referee)
According to the Education Act the education is supposed to be apolitical, but at the same time the teacher is supposed to educate students about values.

The aim of the thesis was to find out how high school teachers in Czechia perceive the need and possibilities of impartial teaching of political geography and related value-based education.

Staníček, Jan ; Martínek, Václav (advisor) ; Teplá, Milada (referee)
For more than 15 years, in the Czech Republic there has been the Grammar School Educational Program (here known as RVP G), which forces teachers to use more didactic and pedagogical knowledge in teaching. Unfortunately, suitable materials are not always available to provide such training (e.g., for the topic of "lipids"). This work then deals with the concept of lipids in textbooks and theses, and especially with the creation of new materials on selected subtopics to lipids and their testing in teaching. The results of this work will show that the topic of lipids is not processed well enough in selected textbooks according to selected criteria. Probably because the textbooks used are outdated. Other results will show that other authors have already solved this problem in their final theses by creating new materials that meet the selected criteria. Unfortunately, current lipid teaching aids lack recent practical biochemical knowledge, tasks to fix this knowledge and develop practical skills. Thus, this work aims to contribute to the pool of educational materials by creating new materials that will meet the requirements mentioned above, cowering these main topics - atherosclerosis, diseases of affluence, cholesterol, metabolism and relationships of macronutrients in the human body, omega-3 fatty...

New media as a part of media education on high schools
Hejlová, Karolína ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Zezulková, Markéta (referee)
Thesis New media as a part of media education on high schools focuses on the representation of new media in education on high school level. The trend of new media and the number of their users are still growing; the adolescents in particular spend great portion of their time using them. That is why I have decided to find out what is the position of this phenomenon in Czech education system on high school level, at grammar schools in particular. To get complex results I firstly analyse statutory documents for national curriculum, then methodological handbooks and other information sources for media education; I also look into teachers' knowledge of this topic and how they implement it to their lessons, and I also directly ask the students. The theoretical part of this thesis creates content base for the thesis itself and also for a lecture about new media that I have put together. The practical part combines qualitative and quantitative methods of research to get as precise results as possible.

The bachelor thesis focuses on isomerism teaching at secondary schools. The theoretical part is dedicated to the research of educational materials and the classification of the topic within RVP G and chosen school curricula. In the practical part of the thesis, a powerpoint presentation with rotating 3D models of molecules is created. The presentation is accompanied by didactical materials, suggestions of implementation into the educational process as well as its relations with other topics of organic chemistry. Within the practical part, proposals of activities concerning isomerism are included. In the presented didactical materials, fixation of the spatial imagination of structure of organic molecules is strengthened.
