TITLE: Mathematics Teachers and Their Professional Development AUTHOR: Jana Pávová DEPARTMENT: Department of Education SUPERVISOR: Doc. PaedDr. Stanislav Bendl, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: This thesis is focused on Mathematics Teachers and Their Professional Development. The thoretical part describes the Czech system of in-service education of teachers in the context of lifelong learning. It introduces its legislative classification and describes an alternative classification. The following part offers the list of information resources, which are useful for Mathematics teachers and the list of what the current offer of further education courses for Mathematics teachers is, including selfstudying activities. The relevant links are quoted in the appendices. The empirical part analyses, interprets and evaluates the qualitative research among Mathematics teachers, which determines their experience with in-service education/professional development, their attitudes and opinions in this field. Furthermore, this part analyses their attitudes from the constructivism in Mathematics teaching's point of view.

Key problems of commencing teachers
Matulová, Kristýna ; Mojžíšová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Nováková, Daniela (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the problems of beginning teachers. Its aim is to find out what the fundamental difficulties of teachers working in education for the first five years are. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and the practical part. The theoretical part first deals with professional development and teacher's competencies. It also describes professional preparation and assistance that is provided to beginning teachers. In the main chapter of the theoretical part, the problems that beginning teachers most often experience are specified. The description of the difficulties is based on an analysis of the literature and the results of the existing surveys. At the end of the theoretical part, the key surveys carried out in the given area are presented. The practical part is based on the results of a questionnaire survey. The respondents in the research group are beginning teachers of ISCED 1, 2 and 3 level. Based on the data obtained, the key issues are analyzed and the results of teachers of different ISCED levels are compared. Attention is also paid to professional training, assistance to beginning teachers and teachers' attitudes towards their profession. The practical part concludes with the comparison of the obtained data with the results of Professor Šimoník's research.

Approaches to teaching primary school mathematics
Ždímalová, Eva ; Jirotková, Darina (advisor) ; Slezáková, Jana (referee)
Approaches to teaching primary school mathematics Abstract: The main goal of this thesis is to clarify the differences between two distinct approaches to teaching mathematics at primary school, the transmissive approach and so called genetic constructivism. The theoretical part of the thesis describes main features of these two approaches to teaching mathematics. The practical part shows approaches of two concrete teachers of the first grade, which are investigated by observation, analysis of videorecordings from mathematics lessons and interviews with the teachers. The videorecordings analysis shows didactic aspects of each teacher's approach to teaching. Dealing with pupil's error has been chosen as leading didactic aspect and is analysed in more detail. Furthermore, the author's development of her own approach to teaching mathematics is analysed. Key words: approach to teaching, method, technique, constructivist approach, transmissive approach, dealing with errors, individualisation, teacher's professional development
