This diploma thesis is aimed at the possibilities of the usage of physical activities in chemistry education. The theoretical part of this thesis contains the analysis of RVP ZV and RVP G, especially the content of the movement. This part is also focused on the physical activities, the types and styles of learning, especially on the kinesthetic learning style, and the motivation of pupils. The practical part of this thesis is focused on the finding of usage physical activities by teachers of chemistry. These data are obtained through interviews with chemistry teachers.

Attitudes of future teachers to chemistry
Pospíšilová, Barbora ; Teplý, Pavel (advisor) ; Šmejkal, Petr (referee)
1 ABSTRACT The diploma thesis deals with the attitudes of university students, who will become chemistry teachers, to chemistry and their views on various areas related to chemistry. This work follows the author's bachelor thesis, in which the public's opinion to chemistry was ascertained using a questionnaire survey. In the diploma thesis we focused on finding out attitudes of a group of future chemistry teachers through interviews. The theoretical part deals with the role of chemistry in today's world, chemophobia and the topic of attitudes. The practical part is based on interviews with respondents. This part contains basic information about the research - selection and number of respondents, questions used in the interview, the procedure for data collection and data analysis. One of the key findings was that respondents often lack the perspective and vision of chemistry in context. These are important qualities and skills that a chemistry teacher should have. Furthermore, the importance of teachers in the process of forming a relationship/attitude to chemistry was confirmed - teachers with a broader perspective lead students to a positive relationship to chemistry and they are able to enthrall pupils by chemistry. Key words: chemistry, opinion, attitude, chemophobia, interview, chemistry teachers

The thesis topic: Mapping professional path of chemistry-teacher training graduates at the Faculty of Education Abstract: This thesis is analysing current carreers of former chemistry students (absolvents) at the Charles University of Prague, Faculty of Education. The theoretical part is focused on topics such as pedagogic proffesion, pedagogic research, research methods and briefly also to study "Absolvents of the Charles University". The practical part constitutes the research itself. There were 78 graduates of the faculty asked for completion of a questionnaire that was created. The evaluation was performed on the basis of gathered data. After comparing with other, but very similar researches, it was found that research results are almost similar and generally corresponds with current trends. The aim of this study was to look up and get in touch with as many as possible faculty graduates and learn more about their careers. For example, if it was hard to find the corresponding employment in education sphere after their graduation, whether they even teach or how - after practical experience - do they contemplate the teaching profession. Keywords: teaching profession, the usage of graduates, career, chemistry teachers, Charles University in Prague: Faculty of Education, pedagogic research, questionnaire,...
