(Abstract) My thesis explores the use of the Studeny dul site for learning purposes, namely biology and fundaments of civic and natural science, on the primary school level. My study aims at examining a field trip on the primary school level, and at attracting students' attention to the marginalized group of bryophytes. To meet these objectives, I have designed four field trips that focus on observation of transformations within natural world depending on the changes specific to the four seasons. While engaging with the natural environment, students perform practical tasks and exercises that aim at deepening of their knowledge acquired previously in the classroom. Students of a primary school in Plzen participated in field trips within a span of one school year. My primary objectives consisted of strengthening students' positive relationship with nature, and of understanding of the relationship between the human and nature.

The thesis is focused on the topic of verbal assessment at primary school and its potential to be objectively reflective of the progress of pupil's knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes. The predictive value is analysed through creating an image of the pupil on the basis of the casuistry of all his verbal assessments. The segments of the report are classified by making a graph with the aim to predict further progress without any contact to the pupil. Finally, I realized an interview with the pupil which allowed me to compare the image to reality. The research part of the thesis points out the limited potential of using verbal assessment as a report. The thesis also focuses on transformation of the analyzed reports using the vocabulary of RVP ZV, which I consider an objective language of all the teachers.
