Teaching of geology in surrounding of Dubné Primary School & Kindergarten
GOLDFINGEROVÁ, Aneta
As part of this diploma thesis, a teaching program on the topic of geology was created. Its task was to make the teaching of this not-quite-popular topic in elementary schools more enjoyable. The program consists of a block for outdoor studying, consisting of nine activities and associated discussions, and a block for indoor studying, which is designed in the form of five stations where the pupils take turns. Pupils of the 9th grade of ZŠ Dubné tried the program and filled out questionnaires in the form of a pre-test - post-test, which showed that the pupils' knowledge of this topic was very limited before the program and that the program helped them to get a better orientation in the field of geology. Moreover, the pupils unanimously answered that they enjoyed the educational program and would like to experience a similar teaching style more often.

The issues of the philosophical contexts of an animate and inanimate nature in the periodical Vesmir (2000-2010)
HUDATZKÁ, Kristina
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to provide the philosophical themes overview in the natural science periodical Vesmír in 2000-2010, which relate to an animate and inanimate nature. This topic wasn´t given an adequate attention in the literature, therefore the choice of this topic was obvious. The first part of this topic devotes to the natural science periodical Vesmír the history, the important personalities and the characteristic in the explored period. The next, main part of this topic is focused on analysis of explored articles, including stating the authors. With a made analysis I arrived at the conclusion, that the philosophical aspects of an animate nature is devoted more attention in the natural science periodical Vesmír. Most articles are focused on such philosophical themes, that they´re devoted to the gnoseological questions. The articles regarding the ontological, esthetic, ethical, axiological and cosmological problems are less frequent. I find the personal contribution of this bachelor thesis in wider and deeper way of looking at the world and approach to understanding the basic principles of the world.

Analysis of the interest in intimate nature at primary and secondary school in the area of Chrudim
PEŠKOVÁ, Šárka
The aim of the bachelor thesis is analysis of the interest in inanimate nature of respondents from five primary schools and three secondary schools in the area of Chrudim. The thesis has theoretical and practical parts. The first part is focused on the description of research methodology, motivation and leisure activities, and the description of basic factors affecting student's interest in inanimate nature. The practical part has dealt with the author's research consisted of questionnaire survey among the students (134 respondents) and structured interviews with the teachers (4 respondents). The obtained results show that geological topics, i.e. inanimate nature, are not favourite theme for the students at primary and secondary schools. There are no significant differences between girls and boys, as well as between students of primary and secondary schools. The results have proved that unpopularity of geology (inanimate nature) is caused mostly by insufficient time devoted to this theme at schools, which is currently one lecture a week. During this lecture it is necessary to go through and explain large amount of new terms and knowledge from geology. Therefore, there is a shortage of time for favourite practical examples in lectures or excursions to the nature.
