The thesis is focused on the evaluation of pupils in physical education at primary school. The theoretical part explains the concept of evaluation. What is the function of evaluation, what are the types and forms of evaluation. Next I describe the teaching methods. It focuses on evaluation in physical education in physical education - physical development, pupil's motor skills, motor performance, pupils' knowledge and pupil's relationship to physical education. The thesis also describes physical education according to the framework educational program. The practical part describes the results of the questionnaire survey, which examined how teachers evaluate pupils in the subject of physical education.

The diploma thesis consists of practical and theoretical part. It is focused on an issue of dyslexia and its understanding through structured drama. The theoretical part contains three sections. The first section deals with drama education, the second section covers structured drama and the third section is focused on dyslexia itself. The part concerning drama education is subdivided into three chapters demonstrating drama education in general, the subject itself and its forms. The part focused on structured drama is divided into five chapters that define structured drama in general and its subsequent implementation in education together with its structures, techniques and planning. The part dealing with dyslexia includes five chapters as well. The first chapter explains the term dyslexia. The next chapters demonstrate its symptoms, diagnosis and re- education, specific learning disabilities and relationships between dyslectic pupils and their family, school and classmates. The practical part contains a lesson of structured drama with reflections and perceptions collected during drama implementation.

TITLE Influence of the obligatory swimming course on flexibility of children in younger school age at Hostýnská Primary School AUTHOR Kate ina Merrelová DEPARTMENT Department of physical education SUPERVISOR PaedDr. Irena Svobodová ABSTRACT This Master thesis aims at flexibility of children in younger school age. Specifically, to determine the effect of basic swimming course on the joint mobility of younger school age. We will use verified tests for joint mobility for this detection. The testing will take place twice. The first time it will be at the beginning of the swimming course and the second time it will be after two months of ongoing swimming course. The tested group will consist of pupils from the Hostýnská Primary School who have participated in the swimming course. Boys and girls will be represented equally. The theoretical part will focus on the characteristics of younger school age, the characteristics of motor skills, especially on flexibility and swimming and swimming training. The practical part will be devoted to the description of research and analysis of the results of individual tests. KEYWORDS Swimming course, coordination, flexibility, children, Junior classes of Primary School

This thesis is aimed on the topic of swimming training on the first grade of primary school. The theoretical part is processed according to available resources, history and importance of swimming, characterized by basic swimming training of children at school age and younger. The practical part is focused on the research sample, a swimming schools and children who participated in basic swimming training. Following sections of this thesis are analyzing the research sample, which consists of swimming instructors in selected schools. This research sample was examined in terms of detection effectiveness and impact of swimming training on the results of graduate (or maturity) of swimming courses. This thesis map the swimming training of primary school students, especially in terms of periodicity and teaching effectiveness. The aim of the thesis is to elaborate a comprehensive overview of the current situation in basic swimming training.

Bien que située au cœur de l'activité quotidienne de l'enseignant dans sa classe, l'évaluation interne est une forme d'évaluation peu étudiée. La thèse s'intéresse à la partie la plus explicite de cette évaluation constituée par l'ensemble des épreuves soumises par chaque enseignant aux élèves à des fins d'évaluation, et qui servent de support aux jugements évaluatifs portés dans les « livrets scolaires ». Plus précisément, nous étudions la validité de cette évaluation selon trois dimensions : une dimension de conformité, permettant d'apprécier comment l'évaluation remplit le cahier des charges institutionnel ; une dimension psycho-didactique, permettant d'apprécier en quoi chacune des épreuves est susceptible - ou non - de remplir les objectifs qui lui sont assignés ; une dimension didactique permettant de juger comment l'ensemble des épreuves assure la couverture conceptuelle des champs disciplinaires concernés. Notre travail est centré sur les évaluations internes conduites aux premier et troisième trimestres par des enseignants de Cours Préparatoire en français et en mathématiques, plus particulièrement dans les sous-domaines à fort enjeu socio-scolaire que constituent la lecture, les nombres et le calcul. Pour étudier la première dimension, nous sommes amené à expliciter les référentiels utilisés par les enseignants pour conduire l'évaluation. Une analyse du lien entre ces référentiels et les livrets scolaires utilisés par les enseignants est entreprise. Elle renseigne sur la conformité de l'évaluation à la demande de l'institution scolaire. Concernant la dimension psycho-didactique, centrale dans notre travail, l'enjeu est de prendre en compte, pour chaque épreuve, les éléments qui auraient pu échapper à l'analyse proprement conceptuelle de la tâche et qui pourraient cependant s'avérer des déterminants majeurs du comportement de réponse des élèves. Cela suppose l'explicitation d'un cadre de référence - celui de l'approche psycho-didactique - qui permette effectivement d'analyser chaque épreuve et le fonctionnement cognitif potentiel des élèves confrontés à ces épreuves. La détermination de référentiels de nature didactique (ou épistémo-didactique) qui permettent d'analyser le contenu des tests utilisés par chaque enseignant constitue la base de l'analyse de la validité au sens de la troisième dimension (validité de couverture du test). La conjugaison des dimensions psycho-didactique et didactique de la validité de l'évaluation permet une double analyse, globale et locale, des tests et des épreuves. La validité d'un test est dépendante de la validité des épreuves qui le constitue. La conclusion la plus saillante est que la validité des épreuves et la validité des tests, dans bien des cas, ne sont pas assurées. Cela conduit à remettre en cause les jugements évaluatifs prononcés suite aux passations de l'évaluation. Ce résultat plaide en faveur d'une analyse de la validité conjuguant approche didactique du contenu des tests et approche psycho-didactique des épreuves composant le test. / Internal assessment is not often studied as a form of assessment although it is the teacher daily school activity. This thesis focuses on the most explicit part of this assessment i.e. all the tasks given to the pupils by their teacher in order to assess them. These tasks are used for evaluative judgment written in the « school report book». More precisely, we study this assessment validity depending on three distinct issues: a conformity issue that allows us to understand how assessing may fulfill the institutional specifications; a psycho-didactics issue that allows us to see how each task is likely to fulfill the assigned goals' or not; a didactics issue that allows us to grasp how the tests may conceptually cover the concerned disciplinary fields. This thesis explores internal assessments in French and Mathematics conducted by 1st grade teachers during the first and third terms. We particularly focus on reading, numeracy and arithmetic that are subfields with high socio-educational stakes. In order to examine the first issue, we explain the reference frameworks used by teachers when giving the test. French school programs are central in this area. We investigate how those reference frameworks and school reports are linked. It shows how assessment conforms to the academic institution. When focusing on our main issue, the psycho-didactic one, we emphasize for each task on the elements that could have been missed by the conceptual analysis of the task but yet could turn out to be key factors in the pupils answering behaviors. It means a new reference framework needs to be accounted for: the psycho-didactic approach brings the analysis tools for each task and for the potential cognitive functioning of the pupils who perform those tasks. In order to construct the validity analysis of the test from our third issue (test cover validity), we point out the didactic (or epistemo-didactic) frameworks that allows us to analyze the content of the tests given by each teacher. In combining the psycho-didactic and didactic approaches of assessment validity, we are able to conduct a double analysis, a global one and a local one, of both tasks and tests. The validity of a test depends on the validity of its tasks. The results mainly show that the tasks validity and the tests validity are often not ensured, which leads to question the value of evaluative judgment following the assessment. This advocates for a validity analysis combining a didactic approach of the test content to a psycho-didactic approach of the tasks.

This diploma thesis deals with the level of entry knowledge and ideas about continents of pupils of younger school age. The aim of this thesis is to investigate complex ideas and knowledge of pupils about continents through a single research conducted in the fourth and fifth grades of three primary schools. The research date is further analysed. It will focus on the source from which children learn the information; quality, accuracy, character, extent of this knowledge, and the emotional plane of cognition and preconception. The evaluation of the research as well as the key task of the work is to analyze the difference of pupils' results by individual schools, to compare the results of the fourth and fifth grades and, last but not least, to compare the level of knowledge of boys and girls. The result of the didactic application of research data, in the practical part of the thesis, is the creation of educational material in the form of project teaching for the fourth and fifth grades of primary schools. The content of the thesis is structured into five sub-units. The research part is preceded by the theoretical part, containing the theoretical starting points of the thesis and discussion with the literature related to the given issue. The second, methodological part, introduces the subject, course and processing of the research, including applied research methods and methods used in the practical part of the thesis. The core of the work is the research part which summarizes the collected data and informs about the results of the survey. The research is followed by the practical part which includes the proposal of own project teaching for the fourth and fifth grade of primary school. The final part confirms and rejects the input hypotheses of the research.
