Vaníček, Petr ; Novák, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Tocháček, Daniel (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the question of what are the differences in self-assessment among pupils who worked with formative assessment and those who were assessed by a teacher and assed with a regular classification. The target group were students of the secondary school the studied subject was Computer Science. The goal of the thesis was to find out how the introduction of formative assessment into teaching will affect the student's self-evaluation. In the theoretical part, the author defines key terms with an emphasis on types of school assessment, student peer assessment, self-assessment and classification. It also touches on the teaching of IVT at the lower secondary school from the perspective of the framework education program and the school education program.

The research took place in parallel in the class 8.A, where the pupils were monitored and evaluated by the teacher during the half-term, and only at the end of the semester they received self-evaluation questionnaires to fill out. The 8th grade students continuously worked with mutual evaluation and self-evaluation the whole time, the teacher here played the role of an observer and a mentor. At the end of the semester, they filled out the...

Implementation of Ethic Education as a Supplementary Educational Subject at primary school
Pachelová, Michaela
This PhD thesis describes the ways of implementing the supplementary educational subject of ethics education into the educational system in Czech society. The primary focus is on the teaching of prosocial behaviour at primary school. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the redudant repeating background of the PhD thesis topic was collected. Prosocial behaviour was defined as positive social behaviour with active participation in solving a specific life situation, where helping others is not connected with the expectation of reward. The presented methods of socialization of pupils were divided into directive and recommended non-directive methods promoting a positive classroom climate. Characteristics of moral growth in younger school-age students were viewed from several criteria. The concept of ethical education in curriculum documents in the Czech Republic and abroad was characterized. The empirical part describes qualitative research with a case study design. Data collection was carried out by direct observation, semi-structured interviews and analysis of school artefacts. The thesis reports on the research conducted on the teaching of ethics education in two selected primary schools. The main aim of the research was to find out how the teaching of prosocial behaviour is implemented in the...

Multimedia Language Labs in Foreign Language Education
Botlík Nuc, Tomáš ; Černochová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Ondráková, Jana (referee) ; Fialová, Irena (referee)
The dissertation deals with the issue of multimedia language labs in foreign language teaching. The research study is based on the assumption that the lab helps to practice the development of students' oral expression and how the use of the lab is connected to autonomous learning, self- assessment and multilingualism. The work examines under what conditions the SmartClass Robotel lab can be used in the teaching of the German language at a secondary school. Sixty- nine high school students took part in the research conducted in the form of a case study between December 2021 and February 2022. Data from the input and output records of the oral speech recordings of individual students have been used as the main source of the research. Each recording was evaluated by the student himself, his classmate and the teacher. The assessment focused on content and oral expression, lexical, grammatical and phonological competence. The evaluation also included an assessment of the quality and identification of the speech's weaknesses. The results show that, under certain conditions, teaching in a language lab can make it easier for teachers to implement conversational activities and allow students to work at their own pace and choose the order of activities. The benefit for teachers is the ability to collect data...

Self-assessment and peer assessment in interpreter self-training
Navrátilová, Kateřina ; Čeňková, Ivana (advisor) ; Mraček, David (referee)
The theoretical-empirical thesis deals with the importance of self-assessment and peer assessment for interpreter self-training. The first part is focused on the theoretical foundations of the thesis. First, the thesis covers the question of interpreting quality, its definition, and the assessment of interpreting in interpreter training. The thesis then presents the expertise theory, both in general and in the field of interpreting studies specifically, and provides recommendations by several theoreticians as to how to apply this theory in interpreter training. The next chapter clarifies certain concepts from learning theory that often appear in literature on interpreting didactics. The theoretical part concludes with a presentation of two types of tools that can be used in interpreter self-training, namely e-learning tools and reflective diaries. The empirical part then analyses data collected in two pieces of research. The first of these is a questionnaire research that aims to map the self-training habits of MA interpreting students at the Institute of Translation Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University, and to find out whether the students, while self-training, act in line with the expertise theory. The second piece of research is focused on peer feedback that interpreting students give to...

Embedding formative assessment in ISCED 2 in Science
Navrátilová, Lenka ; Laufková, Veronika (advisor) ; Chvál, Martin (referee)
The work deals with possible ways to implement formative assessment into education at the second stage of primary school at science subjects, particularly at natural history and chemistry. The assumption for successful implementation of formative assessment is healthy climate in the class and the support of mutual help between pupils meaning their awareness of synergic effects of work of the whole class such as collectiveness, full of mutual respect and awareness of the desire to achieve a common and successful goal. Related to this is the strengthening of cooperative learning, group work and also the way pupils' self-assessment to strengthen their growth thinking, create and strengthen their ability to think about their learning, thus metacognition. Formative assessment enriches not only the students but also the teacher himself. Based on the information obtained, he thinks better about his teaching. However, this presupposes the professionalism of the teacher, his openness to the feedback of the pupils. If the teacher accepts this as a chance to improve, then he is a person in the right place who has more prerequisites for serving students and their education. Demonstrations of formative assessment procedures in the practical part give a chance to a larger number of students to feel the joy of...
