This paper explores gender differences in learning and presents findings from a qualitative study into the effectiveness of teaching methods as regards boys’ learning. The applied part of the paper uses site-specific data collected from a state primary school in northern Italy which suggests that the methods employed by teachers is teacher-centered rather than student-centered. The data collected through observation, interview and questionnaire was measured against criteria formulated from experts in the field of boys’ education and analyzed through both an historical and cultural lens. The historical and social factors reveal noteworthy parallels between the approach to pedagogy and Italian culture. The results of the analysis indicate that the Italian methods observed were at times effective while also deficient. This same approach which continues in the middle and high schools is less effective as the other factors in the school arrangement change. The paper concludes with reasons for modifying the teaching method from strictly content, teacher-centered to one which also taps into additional intelligences and takes a more student-centered approach in order to raise motivation and effectiveness of learning which will in turn raise international performance levels and give the Italian student a competitive edge in the international academic arena.

This diploma thesis is focused on methodological games in the usage of Czech language at primary school. It deals with educational methods, games in different stages of human development and mainly methodological games and their usage in Czech language lessons. The main part is created by the file of methodological games which were verified at school. One part of the research is based on the questionnaire for teachers which was concentrated on understanding and using of methodological games.

This diploma thesis focuses on corporate education. It concerns a company providing media planning which wished to remain anonymous. The thesis observes an education system of this company from two perspectives -- the company point of view as well as the employee point of view. The main aspects and weaknesses are pointed out. Based on these facts recommendations that would lead to a systematic approach improving effectiveness of corporate education are given.

The goal of this thesis is to chart the qualifications of adults educators ? instructors - in the educational programme of a selected organization as an example. I firstly define the term company education after which I focus on the personality of adults instructor and participators, and the methods used during internal or external educational events. In the experimental part I analyse the educational system of a selected company. The experimental part also includes a questionnaire survey, the result of which is the description of qualifications of instructors and especially the way how the adult participators react on them.

SMEJKALOVÁ, M. Evaluation of progress in education children with ADHD - Evaluation of motivation notebooks. České Budějovice 2018. Master thesis. University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. Faculty of Theology. Department of education. Thesis Supervisor: doc. Michal Kaplánek, Th.D. The work is divided into five parts. The theoretical part deals with basic information about ADHD. It clarifies the onset, types and manifestation of ADHD, mainly children's manifestations. Another important topic of this master thesis is educational principles for working with children with ADHD in the social environment. Firstly it describes forms and objectives of supportive measures in inclusive classroom and then in next part present for readers personal support for children with ADHD teaching assistant. The last part focuses on qualitative research and answering the following question: "They lead motivational notes to some change in pupil's speeches?" In case analysis, they focus on individual children with special educational needs. Comparative analysis shows differently influenced manifestations among ADHD and non-ADHD pupils. By exploring the six-month records in the motivational notes of each child, it reveals the answer to the basic research question.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyze and evaluate the employee training system in an auditing company operating on the Czech market. The thesis starts with a theoretical part, which provides basic definitions and description of educational strategies, the process of employee training as well as different training methods. The practical part contains the description of the company and the analysis of its education system and training methods. The main focus of this work lies on technical training, typical of this type of company, and on the area of soft skills education and revitalization of its concept. The analysis includes recommendations for adjustments and improvements of the educational process as a whole or of some of its parts.

Student success is a main interest of concerned educators. Much research has been conducted to investigate strategies and instructional methods that may affect student performance. One such method is that of using an historical approach to physics instruction. The question I wish to investigate is this: How does using an historical approach to physics instruction affect student performance, student attitudes towards science courses, and the maturation of students' "epistemological expertise" (Elby, 2001, p.S54)? I have used historically based instructional materials to develop a unit on gas laws. This unit was taught to 10th and 11th grade Chemistry students at a mid-level socioeconomic Central Florida high school. At the conclusion of the instruction, a twopart test written using examples from the students' textbook was used as an assessment to measure the performance of the students. Also the Epistemological Beliefs Assessment for Physical Science (EBAPS) survey was used to measure changes in the students' epistemological expertise. The EBAPS survey was given as a pre and post assessment. The Maryland Physics Expectations (MPEX) survey has also been utilized as a pre and post survey to measure the changes in the students' attitudes towards the course and to show a bridging of the "two-cultures gap". The MPEX survey indicated no significant changes in student attitudes. Intellectually, it seems as though they still regard physics "as a separate and more-than equal discipline which exists and operates apart from all other activities of the human mind" (Gosselin, 1975, p.15). This is in line with the findings of Abd-El-Khalick and Lederman (2000) in history of science courses where "very few and limited changes in participants' views [ on Nature of Science] were evident at the conclusion of the courses" (Abd-El-Khalick, p.1 ). However, after instruction, the descriptive statistics seem to indicate a shift in the epistemological expertise of the students who received the historically based instruction. They appear to have been able to further develop a pool of "fine-grained epistemological resources" to draw from and activate (Elby, 2003, p.55). The maturation of the students' epistemological expertise may have led to their higher performance on the unit test. . Students who received the historically based instruction made gains of an average of 6.5% on their tests, with the students showing high epistemological expertise making gains of an average of 12%. By comparison, students in the courses receiving traditional instruction showed no improvement. Conducting this research has offered an appropriate look at using an historical approach to physics instruction. In my teaching, using an historical approach proved a useful tool; a tool which is often overlooked in secondary physics classrooms. If utilized, this approach to physics instruction may become a key for greater success in the sciences and across the entire academic spectrum.

This thesis is devoted to the theme of the development of soft skills trainers' competencies. A special attention has been paid to the various roles that a trainer has when performing his/her job and the related competencies that are essential for high-quality mastering of this profession. The focal points are the possibilities of trainers' teaching competence development within formal and informal education that a trainer has during preparatory as well as further education with special emphasis on the methods that can be employed to achieve this education. The empiric part of this thesis maps the ways of acquiring trainer's competencies as they occur in practice, their connection with further professional development. At the same time it verifies the suitability of the methods that are used to develop competencies. Based on the interpretation of information provided by the respondents and study of relevant literature, a methodological concept of education of a trainer has been developed.
