Teaching preparation from the point of view of teachers in practice
MACHOVCOVÁ, Iva
In the diploma thesis entitled Preparing for Lessons through the Teacher´s Eyes in Pedagogical Practice, the issues related to how teachers of the first level prepare for their lessons are discussed. The aim is to map out how they perceive the importance of preparing for the lesson, based on interviews with primary school teachers. In particular, it seeks answers to the following questions: What is the teachers´ attitude to and experience of written preparation for teaching? How do teachers go about thinking about the structure of lessons - what are they trying to take into account? Which subjects require the most training from teachers and why? How do teachers observe the difference in length and method of preparation in the context of the length of their teaching experience in practice? The theoretical part describes how the ideal preparation for the lesson should proceed, what is important when preparing the lesson plan, what the teacher should not underestimate or omit. In the practical part, on the contrary, we see how it actually works in practice.

Procházková, Lenka ; Novotná, Jarmila (advisor) ; Walterová, Eliška (referee) ; Klečková, Gabriela (referee)
Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is a dual focused educational approach in which an additional language is used for the learning and teaching of both language and a non- linguistic subject or its part. While there are numerous forms of CLIL implementation, it is possible to define universal pedagogical principles for CLIL teaching and planning. This research presents a content analysis of 56 lesson plans for a CLIL lesson of financial mathematics/literacy. The aim of this research was to establish whether these lesson plans reflected the CLIL pedagogical principles, to establish what features the respondents saw as key features to a CLIL lesson plan, and whether/how the lesson plans corresponded to the respondents' theoretical proclamations. Our research investigated also the differences in lesson plans by these two sub-groups. An original lesson plan analysis tool (LPAT) was created for this research. It was used as a basis for a quantitative survey and as a framework in content analysis of the lesson plans. The tool identified eight key features of a CLIL lesson plan. The respondent combined approximately five of the key features with other features of the LPAT both in the survey and in the lesson plans. Both the survey and the analysis show that the respondents did not identify...
