Outdoor Mathematics in the context of city Plzeň for pupils 11 - 15 years old
Brabcová, Eliška ; Kaslová, Michaela (advisor) ; Vondrová, Naďa (referee)
The subject of this master thesis is outdoor mathematics in the context of the city of Pilsen intended second grade pupils of primary schools. I chose the topic of the thesis for its poten- tial in the development of pupils' spatial intelligence and for connecting different disciplines and getting closer to real mathematical situations. The aim of this thesis is to design suitable outdoor mathematics activities in the context of the city of Pilsen for pupils aged 11-15 years and to verify the suitability of these activities with pupils. Validation of the activities in practice is subsequently reflected upon, or mo- difications are suggested or additional notes are provided for use in practice. The methods used in the outdoor learning activities include text work, problem solving, practical expe- rience and discussion. The activities are analysed using criteria with scores and grouped according to their applicability in practice for the type of sample. Based on the scores, eight of the ten activities designed are considered applicable in practice for the sample type with minor or greater modifications. Four of them are considered appli- cable to practice for the sample type based on the criteria set. The discussion summarizes the criteria used the results of the work and additional comments. The...

Outdoor Mathematics in the context of city Plzeň for pupils 11 - 15 years old
Brabcová, Eliška ; Kaslová, Michaela (advisor) ; Novotná, Jarmila (referee)
The subject of this thesis is outdoor mathematics education for pupils aged 11- 15 in the con- text of the city of Pilsen. The main aim was to design a series of outdoor mathematics activities for lower secondary education students. A reference is made to the space within the Framework Educational Programme for Basic Education for the use of interdisciplinary integration and cross-curricular links, for which outdoor learning can be suitable. The work summarizes the findings on motivation, identifies the specifics of mathematics as a teaching subject and highlights the constructivist principles of teaching in the context of the results of the Czech School Inspectorate's investigation into mathematics.The most important barriers and benefits of outdoor education are summarised here as well as its conception and a few of the readily available sources of inspiration for outdoor mathematics for lower secondary education pupils. The designed activities described in the practical part of the thesis are tailored to specific locations of the city of Pilsen. They refer to the expected outcomes of the Framework Educational Programme for Basic Education and combine the selected mathematical topics into one piece together with the chosen outdoor environ- ment. The thesis highlights the positives of outdoor...

Teaching mathematics with the support of outdoor elements
Smetanová, Eliška ; Jirotková, Darina (advisor) ; Slezáková, Jana (referee)
The thesis deals with outdoor teaching of mathematics at primary school level. It develops the current interest in outdoor teaching using current innovative learning methods. Its focus is to serve as an inspirational resource for teaching mathematics in the area where a pupil grows up and, on the contrary, to learn about his surroundings through teaching mathematics. It relies partly on teaching via schema-oriented education, but seeks to demonstrate the benefits of outdoor teaching regardless of the style of teaching. It describes and analyzes the specific features, benefits and challenges associated with outdoor learning. The work uses Czech and foreign sources to familiarize the reader with the basic phenomena that arise in connection with the learning process. Their role is pointed out on specific outdoor activities. Detailed analyzes of these activities work in the broader sense as examples of how to lead pupils to enjoy understanding mathematical laws in a non-school environment.

Teaching mathematics - schema oriented education in outdoor environment
Mladá, Lada ; Slezáková, Jana (advisor) ; Hejný, Milan (referee) ; Jirotková, Darina (referee)
This thesis deals with teaching mathematics - schema oriented education in outdoor environment. It seeks advantages of outdoor education and tries to apply them fully in an innovative way of teaching mathematics for primary schools. It connects the innovative methods of teaching mathematics with our nature, in a peaceful and natural way. Nature is not just an expanded space for learning but it is the means of achieving more effective learning. The thesis informs the reader about the history of outdoor education and it enables deeper understanding of nature's potential and its role in education. It takes advantage of Czech and foreign resources on the matter. The thesis wants to enlighten mathematics students and teachers about the positives of outdoor education by providing a collection of ideas, including their real-life realization and their self- reflection, in the form of prepared mathematics outdoor education material. KEYWORDS Substantial Learning Environment, Schema-oriented Education, Outdoor Education, Outdoor Mathematics
