This thesis deals with method of activation of didactic games and its application into the teaching process. It's focused on the theoretical description and also on the practical use in the teaching of the French language. This method is introduced as one of the ways how to practice language in funny form, but also to gain new knowledge and language skills. We will describe its major aspects and also its place in the curriculum documents as well. We will emphasize its benefits, but also the possible difficulties in its application into the teaching of foreign language. We will mention the process of the game and the atmosphere appropriate to it's use too. In the practical part we will focus on the activities which are suitable for level A0 to A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the relationship between the pupil's classification and their attitude to economical subjects. The thesis is subdivided into two basic parts-theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part concerns about attitudes, motivations and classifications. The empirical part explains the outcome and result of my research, which was realized on pupils of third year of studies at economical secondary school.

Results of researches on the popularity of mathematics point to the trend of decreasing popularity with the pupils' progression. According to the study of Chvál a stronger decline occurs between the fifth and sixth grades. The presented thesis focuses mainly on what factors of the transition of pupils from the primary to lower-secondary level can influence their attitudes towards mathematics and also on what causes the changes of these attitudes can be named by the pupils of the sixth year. It focuses not only on changes in relation to mathematics, but it also maps the solidarity with the teacher as well as pupils' self- confidence. The research is also concerned with possible changes in the relationship of pupils to mathematics depending on whether they are taught by the Hejny method or not. The research was carried out in the form of questionnaires mapping pupils' attitudes to mathematics and interviews with selected pupils of the schools participating in the research. The sample consisted of 235 pupils in five elementary schools. The complete data was obtained from 161 of them and this data is therefore a substantial part of the results analysis. The results confirmed that the pupils' relationship to mathematics deteriorated on average from primary to lower-secondary level. However, there are classes...

The subject of the current study is "man as an elementary school teacher". The aim of the thesis is to determine what the role of a male elementary school teacher is and what this role involves. The current study is divided into two parts, the theoretical part and the empirical part. The theoretical part includes the description of the teaching profession (the teaching career path, career identity, and personality of the teacher), the relationship between the teacher and the student, and gender issues in the school environment. The core of the theoretical part is the discussion of the previous research from abroad regarding male teachers. The empirical part is a case study of a male elementary school teacher from one of the elementary schools in Prague. The methods used involve interviews with other teachers, questionnaires from parents and a longitudinal observation of the class. The results of the case study are then further extended by statements of eight male teachers from a range of elementary schools in Prague. The study has revealed that one of the aspects of the male teacher's role is "teacher as a friend". The reason for this might be a more liberal style of teaching. This leads to specific dilemmas in the teacher's behaviour towards the students, their parents, and the society. Key words...

This diploma thesis addresses the issue of mutual attitudes among teachers and pupils at the upper-primary-schools. The thesis is based on the assumption that the teacher-student rapport is the significant determinant of the educational process. The aim of the thesis is to determine the factors and the ways of affecting mutual attitudes among pupils and teachers at upper- primary-schools. The theory section of the thesis focuses on the issues of attitudes and of the personality of a pupil and teacher at the upper-primary-school and on the interaction between them. The thesis describes the factors affecting mutual attitudes among pupils and teachers as well as the characterics of adolescent. It also describes the teacher's personality and his role in the educational process. The objective of the research section is to identify the characteristic features of mutual attitudes among teachers and pupils at the upper-primary-schools. The section also suggests the causes constituting specific attitudes among students and teachers at the upper-primary-schools. It seeks to determine whether the factors of teacher's age, gender, and specialization, and that of the pupil's gender are affecting the mutual attitudes among pupils and their teachers. Data will be obtained through the questionnaire survey of...

Title: Problematic pupil from the teacher's perspective Author: Bc. et Bc.

In the empirical part of the thesis is presented a research that was realized in the form of semi-structured interviews with five school...

As a topic of my thesis I chose Current Methods of Teaching of Initial Reading (with a specific focus on the SFUMATO method). In the theoretical part I deal with the issue of reading literacy in pre-primary and primary education. I also describe the division and development of methods from a historical point of view. Further chapters are devoted to the most used methods of elementary reading teaching at present. In more detail I tried to describe the less well-known methodology of Sfumato. The practical part of my diploma thesis was used as a research probe in teaching using the Sfumato methodology and comparison with control groups in which the analytic-synthetic method and the genetic method are used to teach elementary reading. The results of my work show that the Sfumato methodology can be beneficial for both children and pupils and can help in avoiding unwanted reading habits.
