Pupils' conceptions of science and scientists and possibilities of influencing them
Šmídová, Petra ; Dvořák, Dominik (advisor) ; Stará, Jana (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis was to describe pupils' conceptions of science and scientists and also to suggest some possibilities to influence them. In the theoretical part of the thesis common knowledge of pupils' conceptions of science and scientists is described. It also summarises researches following up these issues, and conceptions of science education at primary school in the Czech Republic and other chosen states. In the empirical part a research focused on getting information about pupils' knowledge of science and scientists and their approach is presented. The results show, that pupils' conceptions of science and scientists are heterogeneous and the role of out-of-school activities of chosen pupils was more significant than influence of school. In the final part of the thesis there are appropriate ways how to influence pupils' conceptions of the area of science at school are outlined

JELÍNKOVÁ, Lucie
The main aim of this diploma thesis is to answer the question: What information do the scientists (who are actively researching in various areas of ecology) consider as the most important for the students from different school grades? We gathered answers from 31 scientists. For graduates of elementary school the scientists consider very important and fundamental the areas which deal with introduction to ecology, resources of organism, biomes, aquatic ecosystems, other interactions and flow of energy and matter in ecosystems. For High School graduates, scientists find important the area of resources of organism, biomes and other interactions, flow of energy and matter in ecosystems. For students who passed the High School leaving exams in biology the areas they consider as most important ecological factors, introduction to ecology, resources of organisms and other interactions.
