The topic of my diploma thesis is the current situation of gender aspects of education in primary schools, mainly concerning information and communications technologies. The theoretical part deals with the basic issue, which caused and still causes gender stereotypes. The practical section analyses results of my survey that was dedicated to the present situation of gender sensitive education in subjects of ICT. The survey paid attention to the attitude of the male and female students as much as the view of the male and female teachers on the gender issues. Further, there is a gender analyse of two of the textbooks used for the second grade of primary education. In the final part, there are conclusions of my research with a few suggestions for teaching practices.

In this work we tried to look into the life of John Amos Comenius. Simultaneously we dismantle his ideological basis, with respect to pansophia. We paused at Comenius perception of faith in God and the individual points Panorthosia. In main chapter, we compared the Comenius pedagogical bases with current educational trends. In conclusion we came to the findings that we specify differences between Comenius thinking and contemporary times. We have pointed out that in the general scale of the world is closer to the ideals of Comenius. As regards the actual pedagogical research, the current education seeks to upgrade its educational methods, but in some places groping through the influence of different opinions. The problem of the present time we have found the utilization of the contemporary world , together with a lack of time. The disadvantages include the still poorly organized curricula, while lack of respect for the teachers. By contrast, a clear positive of today we added the currently open views, efforts to link a multicultural pupil's confidence tendency to wake up in the truest sense.

Methods: In our thesis we used the method of observation with utilization of categorial system according to the standardized method MADI (modificated analysis of didactic interaction). This method involves seven categories describing forms of behaviour of a teacher, didactic content of training, didactic situation and the postural activity.

Some of his forms of behaviour, demonstration and action were not coherent with the process of learning so that they were not able to be analysed. Keywords: ADI, MADI, ski school, ski education
