Pražák, Daniel ; Dvořák, Dominik (advisor) ; Pol, Milan (referee) ; Michek, Stanislav (referee)
In recent years, there has been a great expansion of school networking in foreign education systems, but this approach appears less often in the Czech environment. This dissertation presents a case study that analyses the interaction of schools cooperating with the Gymnasium Přírodní škola through the concept of networking. The main sources of data are interviews with actors, school documents and field notes of the researcher. The study describes the mutual influence and sharing of elements of the innovative model between the schools involved in this network. Special attention is paid to the factors that facilitate or hinder effective networking and innovation sharing, as well as the role of principals, teachers and student involvement as active agents of change. The work thus connects previous research knowledge with the unique Czech context, which enriches the professional literature on networking of educational institutions. The results offer insight into the dynamics and challenges associated with creating effective educational networks and bring support for innovation in education through networking. KEYWORDS school networking, innovative educational models, inter-organizational collaboration, inter- organizational learning, school leadership, secondary education, students as actors, case...

And here I ask myself the question. What does the word landscape in this environment? How to apply to old buildings and chimneys of the idea of the archetype of landscape? Is it just those elements that had nurtured almost all Catalunya? They can be roof now abandoned industrial buildings become something else? The new facade?A Sea? A Landscape ?

Digital technologies - development of instructional materials for Grade 6-9 students
Šmíd, Radek ; Brom, Cyril (advisor) ; Černochová, Miroslava (referee)
In 2023, a revision of the Czech national curriculum came into force. The main change was the replacement of the educational area "information and communi- cation technologies" with "computer science". The new curriculum was supported by new educational materials. However, few of these were devoted to the "digital technologies" part of the curriculum. In this thesis we have created new mate- rials that fill this gap. Specifically, we created four worksheets that explain the structure and principles of the Internet. The sheets can, for example, be handed out to students or printed as a poster. The validation of the didactic qualities of the sheets was carried out in two phases: individual interviews and classroom testing. During the first phase, we interviewed fifteen pupils (ISCED-2). The stu- dents first described what they saw using the think aloud method. Then they were questioned about information contained in the sheets. We used the transcripts of the pupils' interviews to improve the clarity of the materials. During the second phase, classroom testing was conducted by giving the finished sheets to a sample of 92 students (age 11-14) to study (20 minutes). We tested students' knowledge using pre and post tests. Statistical analysis of the results revealed a positive effect of studying the sheets on...

Transformations of teaching of history at grammar schools in Klatovy region between 1971-1995
POTUŽÁK, Jaromír
The last quarter of 20th century was a very dynamic period full of changes, not only in society but also in teaching. History has undergone the same turbulent development, not only as a school subject. The aim of this work is to describe the development of teaching at this type of secondary schools in Czechoslovakia on the example of two grammar schools in the Klatovy district (Sušice and Klatovy) with an emphasis on teaching history between the years 1971 and 1995. On the basis of archival materials, recollections of witnesses and contemporary professional journal discussions; theoretical concepts and the degree of their fulfillment in everyday practice will be compared. Therefore, the research will also include an analysis of school-leaving examinations in history with an emphasis on their content change in this period. In addition to archival material, the method of oral history will be used, which will bring a comparison of theory with practice in teaching at the time, with narrators becoming not only students but also teachers. The text will also include a didactic part, in which I will focus on the analysis of teaching methods and teaching aids (especially textbooks).

Returning Vertebrate Species as a Topic of Environmental Education
Hartlová, Adéla ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Chocholoušková, Zdenka (referee) ; Urban, Peter (referee)
The presented thesis deals with the relationship between humans and animals that return to the Czech Republic due to various circumstances, especially national protection, and protection within the European Union. This is a group of animals that have been exterminated from the Czech wilderness for various reasons and upon their return cause damage, arouse fear and cause controversy. The spontaneous return and reintroduction of some vertebrate species is, therefore, considered a controversial topic at present because we are facing reintroduced and returning species more and more frequently. This is why people should ideally be introduced to this topic at primary schools, where the information is presented in a clear and didactic way, rather than later on, for example, in the context of various attitudes-raising campaigns. For this reason, this research was performed at primary schools, grammar schools and secondary vocational schools training future foresters and fishermen, in order to determine what pupils' attitudes towards these returning or reintroduced vertebrate species are and what can influence these attitudes. This research was carried out in the form of a questionnaire survey with analyses in Jamovi and Statistica 14. Subsequent analyses of the data revealed that students have generally...

Vlčková, Tereza ; Čtrnáctová, Hana (advisor) ; Stratilová Urválková, Eva (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the selection and structuring of the curriculum of the selected groups of elements in terms of inorganic chemistry, to be more specific the elements of the 1st and 17th group at the grammar school level. The theoretical part of the thesis presents the characteristics of the educational content and curriculum, the possibilities of graphical representation of the curriculum, current curricular documents and used chemistry textbooks at grammar schools. At the end of the theoretical part, the qualitative research method is discussed, namely a focus group. The practical part of the thesis contains modified schemes of the arrangement of the curriculum of the elements of the 1st and 17th group from the 1980s when a deductive approach to the content and arrangement of the chemistry curriculum was applied for the first time. To find out the current state, an analysis of RVP G and selected Czech and foreign textbooks was done. On their basis diagrams representing the content and structure of the curriculum of the elements of the 1st and 17th group were created. It proves that the deductive approach to the chemistry curriculum, which is problematic for pupils, is predominant even today. Therefore, a proposal for selecting and structuring of the curriculum of the selected PSP...

A newly developed definition of a talented educator is also included. The specifics description of the Czech schools' environment for the talent management implementation in terms of individual pro- cesses is followed by a questionnaire survey. The research results are linked to the context of Czech education and compared with the results of previous investigations of talent man- agement in Czech organisations. The care of Czech teachers is very specific from the talent management perspective. The teaching profession is demanding and Czechia lacks a functional career system and a generally accepted teacher standard. There is a shortage of teachers in many disciplines, teacher training is compulsory by law, and funding is peculiar. All of the above is strongly reflected in the current state of talent...
