Entry knowledge and ideas about Central European states for pupils of younger school age
FLEISCHMANNOVÁ, Tereza
The thesis deals with the scope and the level of entry knowledge and ideas about Central European states for pupils of younger school age. The aim of the work is to evaluate, through a quantitative research inquiry, the comprehensive knowledge of central European countries of pupils in the first grade. The evaluation was carried out on the base of a questionnaire survey of 396 respondents from eight primary schools, allowing an assessment of the level of geographical knowledge of primary pupils in fourth and fifth years. The analytical part of the thesis focuses on results and their comparison according to several categories, which are differences in knowledge across schools, years and gender. This section also looks at the differences arising from the location and size of the primary schools in question and, last not least, the source of this knowledge. The final practical section is based on the results of the survey and contains educational material, which is extended to include a methodical guide for educators and suggestions for teaching central European states.

Entrance knowledge and ideas about selected non-European countries among 6th grade elementary school pupils
SAMEC, Martin
The thesis deals with the entrance knowledge and ideas of the sixth-grade pupils of elementary schools about non-European countries. The aim of the thesis is to map the level of knowledge that pupils of the sixth grades have before they learn about the given states within the geography. To fulfil the aim of the thesis, research using a questionnaire was carried out in the sixth grades of elementary schools, in which 489 pupils participated. In addition to mapping specific knowledge and ideas about the given states, the questionnaire was aimed at finding differences between this knowledge based on the type of schools, their location in cities or villages, and based on the gender of the respondents. Attention is also paid to the pupils' self-evaluation focused on their knowledge, pupils' sympathies for the countries and the sources from which the pupils learn information about the world. The thesis evaluates all the results found and their comparison and subsequent interpretation takes place. The analytical part is then followed by a practical part, which provides concrete ideas on how to use the conducted research in geography lessons. The practical part contains materials based on established facts about the pupils' entrance knowledge, which are aimed at strengthening and expanding them.

KAZDOVÁ, Barbora
The diploma thesis deals with the entrance knowledge and ideas that pupils of younger school age have about the regions of Czech Republic before their own teaching in national studies classes in the fifth grade of primary schools. Data collection was carried out through a research survey at elementary schools in the Vysočina Region and the South Bohemian Region. Third and fourth graders filled out questionnaires that explored their complex ideas and knowledge. Part of the analytical part was also comparison of the differences between individual years, gender, size, location and type of investigated schools and the source of information. The result of the thesis is an educational material "Z kraje do kraje" with a methodical manual focused on critical thinking using the E-U-R method. This can assist elementary school to teachers to facilitate a more active approach for pupils rather than approaching the subject matter through constructive thinking. The conclusion of the diploma thesis talks about the confirmation or refutation of established hypotheses.

VLTAVSKÁ, Ivana
This diploma thesis deals with the entrance knowledge and ideas that pupils in the 6th and 7th grades of primary schools have about European countries. The resulting data came from a research survey, which was preceded by a discussion of professional literature and other sources related to the topic of the thesis and the design of the research survey itself. The analytical part of the thesis focuses on the level of input knowledge and ideas, which is compared according to the different types, location and the size of the schools surveyed. The thesis also focuses on the differences in the knowledge between grades and genders and the sources of this information. There are also several possibilities of applying these results directly to the teaching of Europe at the 1st and 2nd stage of elementary schools. The practical part of the thesis presents a proposal for teaching activities using the CLIL method, which is based on the results of the research, professional literature and practical knowledge. The activities are complemented by a methodological manual for teachers and can be used in Geography and English language.
