Houzar, Petr ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Jirák, Jan (referee)
The diploma thesis "Athletes as heroes - construction and evolution of Czech olympic medalist image" deals with media construction of olympic Winter image and its following trasformation into national hero myth. It approaches the topic from the perspective of semiotic analysis. It informs about the key concepts of semiotics and media studies like visual communication, sign, code, myth, social construction of reality, representation and stereotype. These concepts are consequently used as tools for the analysis of photos (thein legends) and headlines in daily press. The text shows on the case of six olympic winners (between years 1998 - 2008) how Czech daily press dealt and built individual stories a basic archetypes. In its first part it offers basic theoretical frame serving to understand the hero image as the social construct. Athlete with his win attracts new - medial constructed - identity. In the second part text tries to analyse media contents that deal with athetes images immediate after their olympic victory. It arrives to following conclusions: media have a tendency to produce the stories od victory, that are gender unequal and stereotyped. And finally, text show us individual images, their basic signs and confrontation, that signifies very similar narrative pracices and zero progress in time.

Polačková, Monika ; Skýbová, Jana (advisor) ; Vítová, Eva (referee)
The thesis is dedicated to conception of education programms for Botanical Garden of the Capital City of Prague. Its intention is to complete and enlarge the offer of education programms for individual expositions which the Garden offers to visiting schools. Three education programms were developed; two of them concern the ecology of amphibians and the other concerns the life in North American Plains for target group of pupils of primary and secondary educational levels. Pupils get to know the given topics interactively and their understanding is tested by suggested game activities. Furthermore, there are working papers and didactic tools (playing cards) prepared to accompany the programms. Utility and atractivity of education programms with the topic of amphibians were tested on pupils in a pilot survey. Evaluation was conducted by educators on the basis of questionnaires. After analysing the data retrieved from questionnaires percentage graphs were used to provide results for validation of anticipated assumptions. It was confirmed that educators talked through topics beforehand. Further, programms correspond with the scale and form of education at an ordinary school. Educators would prefer some activities to others which refutes the last assumption. Programms for the exposition The Wetland and...
