Student's inquiry skills at lower secondary school
Nejedlý, Adam
Scientific thinking is an essential skill for full application in society associated with responsible human decision-making. The development of research skills and knowledge also contributes to its complexity. For the possibility of their systematic development, it is necessary to map the current situation of students in primary schools. The aim of the work was to find out what are the research skills of these students in the field of correctly formulating a research question based on specific problem and after finding a solution to formulate an answer to a given research question. Four research-oriented tasks were used, which were solved by 58 students from the seventh grade of primary school. It was found that more than half of the students are not able to formulate the research question correctly and more than one third of the students are unable to formulate the answer to the given research question correctly.

Šiffner, Natalia ; Rozboudová, Lenka (advisor) ; Konečný, Jakub (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of motivation of learning Russian as a second foreign language at Czech lower secondary schools. The main aim of the thesis is to determine the level of motivation of teaching aids for Russian language for lower secondary school pupils in the Czech Republic. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical parts. In the theoretical part the concepts of motivation, motivation to learn and teaching aids for foreign language and their role in motivation are explained. In the practical part, three textbooks for Russian language teaching are analysed: Классные друзья, Времена and Поехали. The analysis is based on the criteria developed by the author of the thesis. The conducted research shows that the above- mentioned textbooks are motivating for Russian language teaching, but they have some weaknesses in structure, motivational aspect, clarity of tasks and content. On the basis of the analysis, recommendations for motivating students in using these teaching aids are proposed.

Graph theory exercises in lower secondary computer science
Kutiš, Martin ; Černochová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Štípek, Jiří (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on the integration of graph theory into computer science education at the lower secondary level. The theoretical part introduces the basic concepts of graph theory and typical problems that are solved within it. Furthermore, it describes the integration of graph problems in the revised Framework Educational Programme for Basic Education and specifies foreign approaches to teaching graph theory in primary and lower secondary schools as described in literature. The current state of implementing graph problems into education is examined through a questionnaire survey among computer science teachers. In the empirical part of the thesis, a methodological procedure for incorporating graph theory into teaching is proposed, consisting of two separate instructional blocks. This procedure is subsequently tested in teaching at three lower secondary schools and two multi-year grammar schools. The evaluation of the testing is based on the analysis of evaluation forms from participating teachers and semi-structured interviews conducted with them. Finally, a set of recommendations is compiled for further utilization of the prepared educational materials. The resulting proposal for integrating graph theory into teaching is ready for application by other practicing teachers and may...

This section presents their basic rules, and implementation procedures. The practical part of the study compares IBL with frontal teaching, as perceived by seventh-grade students during biology classes at lower secondary school. A self-evaluative reflective questionnaire was used for the research. This part not only presents the research results but also addresses lessons preparation and implementation. The results demonstrate how students perceive the differences between IBL and frontal teaching. More precisely, which type of teaching they find more interesting useful, and during which type they believe they better develop their communication and...
