Mazuch, Jakub ; Procházka, Josef (advisor) ; Černochová, Miroslava (referee)
1 The master thesis on Materials to Support the Teaching of Computer Science at High Schools focuses on the analysis of teaching materials for the educational content of Computer Science in terms of their educational aspects. The thesis is based on the hypothesis that teaching supported by didactic materials has a positive impact on the effectiveness of teaching. The main output of the thesis is the design of an original teaching material, including methodologies, which has been tested in practice at a secondary school. At the beginning, the thesis focuses on the theoretical description of school Computer Science in the current educational system relating to the content of Computer Science as a scientific field. The author also presents an overview of didactic resources, aids and their specifics for secondary schools. Considering the extensiveness of Computer Science, the thesis defines Mathematics in Computer Science as the topic which is analysed with regard to the availability of teaching materials. The analysis of the selected teaching materials includes an analysis of the didactic demand of their texts. Following the presented theoretical findings, the thesis contains a proposal of an original didactic material including methodology. The proposed educational material takes the form of a Moodle...

Reproductive system in Human biology lessons at secondary school
NAVRÁTILOVÁ, Adéla
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of teaching the human reproductive system at secondary schools both in the Czech Republic and in selected German federal states, Bavaria and Saxony. The aim was first to discover the differences in teaching the reproductive system among the chosen countries and secondly to create own teaching units regarding this topic and utilize them in classes. The differences between Czech, Saxon, and Bavarian types of teaching were supported by curricular documents and a questionnaire distributed among teachers from selected countries. Czech curricular documents outline the teaching of the reproductive system more briefly compared to the German ones. The questionnaire provided specific information incorporating the methods used in teaching. Furthermore, this diploma thesis contains two fully designed teaching units, including both materials for students and methodological instructions for teachers. The practical implementation of the proposed teaching units is evaluated at the very end of this thesis.

BALOUNOVÁ, Kateřina
This thesis examines the myths that appear in the teaching of psychology in high school from the perspective of students. The theoretical part is focused on the definition of the terms didactics, didactics of psychology, the goals of teaching, specific goals of teaching psychology, the concept of teaching psychology in secondary education and its specifics. Furthermore, it also deals with psychological myths and their sources and in the last section, selected myths that appear in the research questionnaire of this thesis are described and explained in more detail. The practical section then sets out the aims of the thesis and the research hypotheses. A modified questionnaire is presented, which was able to collect data from 193 respondents. The practical part also presents the research studies with which the results of this research are compared. The results of the research revealed that the success rate of psychological myths disclosure of the students of the selected high school is 39.9% and the rate of psychological myths disclosure is 45.4%. Consequently, the success rate of the answers of the Slovak study students and the students at the vocational high school did not differ. Furthermore, the results showed that students who are involved in psychology outside school do not have a higher success rate in detecting psychological myths than students who are not involved in it. The research also showed that the success rate of the responses of the male and female participants also did not differ. Lastly, the questionnaire provided responses on how students at the high school in question rated the teaching of psychology. Thus, we can say that students, of this particular school are not really able to recognize some of the myths presented, which leads to room for improving the quality of teaching in this school.

Knowledge and attitudes of secondary school pupils on global climate change
Lacinová, Ludmila ; Rynda, Ivan (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Tereza (referee)
These days, the global climate change is not only a very frequently discussed topic, but above all a threat to the entire planet. In 2009 Johan Rockström published the concept of the nine planetary boundaries that humans ought not to breach if they wish to preserve a safe space for human activities and avoid dangers of global significance. Nevertheless, three of these boundaries have already been breached and are currently in a critical state. The climate change is one of them and its breach is very serious. That is why this master's thesis is dealing with this important issue, which needs to be tackled on the global as well as the individual level since everyone's contribution, though small on the global scale, is necessary and it is vital that all take part in solving this global problem. The thesis is therefore focusing more specifically on the individual level, namely, the knowledge and the attitudes of high school students as regards the global climate change. The master's thesis is divided into four parts - the theoretical, the methodological, the empirical, and the discussion part. The crucial part of this master's thesis is the empirical part, which includes quantitative research in the form of a questionnaire survey among the pupils at selected secondary schools with different...

The aim of the thesis is to describe its current state and to find out how talented teachers are cared for in Czech secondary schools and how princi- pals perceive talented teachers and talent management. The thesis defines and puts into context the concepts of teaching staff, teacher stand- ard, talented teacher, talent and giftedness as well as talent management. A newly developed definition of a talented educator is also included. The specifics description of the Czech schools' environment for the talent management implementation in terms of individual pro- cesses is followed by a questionnaire survey. The research results are linked to the context of Czech education and compared with the results of previous investigations of talent man- agement in Czech organisations. The care of Czech teachers is very specific from the talent management perspective. The teaching profession is demanding and Czechia lacks a functional career system and a generally accepted teacher standard. There is a shortage of teachers in many disciplines, teacher training is compulsory by law, and funding is peculiar. All of the above is strongly reflected in the current state of talent...
