VOMÁČKOVÁ J. 2015: Assessment in Biology Education in Ceske Budejovice and surroundings. Bachelor thesis. Faculty of Education, University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice. 39 pp. Assessment is the key part to all educational and pedagogic activities. Based on this, assessment is nowadays often discussed not only in the academic sphere but also by teachers doing the practical job. This is especially viewed from the point of the effectiveness and adequacy of individual assessment methods in concrete subjects taught. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to monitor assessment methods currently used in Biology lessons. This has been done through questionnaires used with grammar school students and elementary school students attending the second level study in the Ceske Budejovice region. The results show assumptive assessment methods prevail with teachers mainly focusing on the students knowing definitions, facts and formulae. New activating methods are being introduced in Biology lessons, which makes the assessment of students' performance more difficult. Formative assessment might be the answer to this. In the part of the questionnaire where the students´ personal experience, preferences and opinions have been monitored, it has been found out students themselves consider this type of assessment more motivating and beneficial then the assumptive one.
