TITLE: Food as a Theme in Art and Education AUTHOR: BcA. Julie Chrpová DEPARTMENT: Department of Art Education SUPERVISOR: doc. PhDr. Martin Raudenský, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The thesis deals with "food" as a theme in art and education. Food and prepared dishes are displayed in a variety of ways throughout human history. The method of imaging includes both artistic and documentary elements. In this work the development of visual depiction of food and meals with a focus on photography is mapped. The findings from the literary part of the thesis were subsequently used in the creation of the author's book and in the realisation of the didactic project. The author's book is a method of blending the tradition of art culture with the means of contemporary visual communication. It consists of a set of photographs and is not only a visual record of the menu, but also illustrates the process of preparing selected dishes from raw materials, through self-preparation, to mapping the kinds and the amount of waste generated by food preparation. In the didactic part, the topic of the thesis is used to understand the importance of nutrition in human life by verifying the didactic project through the educational process. The didactic part is focused on interconnection of art education and health education with overlap into...

Microbiological Project Using the Disc Diffusion Method for Lower Secondary School ABSTRACT This thesis deals with project-based education and his involvement in the functional structure of the czech educational theory and practice. It refers to the project as an innovative teaching process, which is qualitatively able to shield asked RVP requirements and the implementation of which contributes to the development of educational goals and core competencies. This thesis contains both theoretical aspects are developed through the study of literature and other sources in order to summarize the current state of knowledge of the subject, so practical. Theoretical bases emphasize not only on the characteristics of project-based education as such, but also on the appropriate application of educational strategies in the learning process. Specifically mentioned are possibilities of project-based teaching in the teaching of natural history, biology and ecology. The theoretical background followed by the practical part, which shifts the theory of project learning into practice. There is particular designed a project called "Strength of antibiotics", which is then implemented and reflected. Is described in detail during the planning, implementation and evaluation of the project. KEYWORDS: project-based education, school...

This diploma thesis offers insight into the issue of window, into the variability of the issue and its usage during art lessons in the lower secondary schools. The first chapter of the theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the form and the function of window in course of the historical development of architecture. Next chapters deal with the usage of the motif of the window in painting in the course of history and the usage of the motif of the window in art during the last century. The end of theoretical part of the thesis deals with motif of the window in Czech language and literature and the last chapter defines the project in education and its history. The practical part is based on the findings in the theoretical part that become the source of inspiration for the application of the topic in the art lessons. This part focuses on preparation, process and the reflection of author's own art lessons that have been realised in the lower secondary school.

This diploma thesis is focuses on using technical monuments in České Budějovice region in primary school education. The theoretical part mentions the main principals, aims and the possibilities of using of project teaching methods in primary school. This thesis also deals with the technical education and the acquiring of the primary technical literacy. The final part of theoretical part describes technical monuments which were used in processed projects. The practical part of this thesis present 7 projects, which can be used in primary education. The part of thesis is also the evaluation of the research among teachers about the effectiveness of projects.

Presented theoretical-project thesis is conceived as a contribution to the project of teaching method on subject of Forest. This contribution is meant for primary sphere of basic school of art. Individual parts are briefly but clearly developed in the theoretical part of this thesis, which offers insight into the chosen theme of the three main aspects - scientific, educational and artistic. These three aspects are, according to the scale of the study, supplemented by additional sub opinions of how to inspect on the issue. In certain parts of the thesis we can find examples of possible approaches to particular parts of the project. There are applied flat art activity, spatial and intermedial. The theoretical part is followed by a specific artistic project, which consists of a set of eight samples of art activities. The entire work is complemented with images.

Background. Management is an essential factor in any organization let alone its kind and size. Project management is the art and science of planning and implementing a project to achieve the desired outcome. Project Management (PM) plays a crucial role in businesses which are bound to function in a team-based environment regardless of the type of business. Although a variety of project management practices are employed in different kinds of industries, it is well understood that the style and level of employment of these project management practices have a significant impact on the project success. The software engineering industry has its own project management practices and the employment of these practices depends on the project manager who thus plays a key role in project management. Project manager has been a ubiquitous feature of traditional software projects. Project managers are a merger of personal characteristics and areas of competency that act together to integrate the various components of a project. In this study, the author discusses about the concept of software engineering management, various characteristics and key competencies of a project manager and also the factors influencing the overall success of a project. The authors also discuss about the current state and importance of PM education and its influence in the real time industry. Objectives. This research study is to analyze and make conclusions about the ideal features of a project manager and therefore attempt to understand its association with critical factors of PM for a project’s success in terms of delivering the product as scheduled and also understand various non-PM factors that are critical for project success. The study also attempts to show the significance of studying PM specifically in the context of Software Engineering as different from other contexts and the importance of PM education in academics and teaching PM in the industry. Methods. To achieve the objectives of this research, we attempt to study project management in the context of Software Engineering by conducting a literature review followed with a descriptive Survey as our research methods for this study to show how far literature complies to the present-day views and overall form a common opinion on this subject by comparing both the findings. Results. The results yielded by conducting a literature review conclude that Project Management or Software Engineering Management plays a vital role in software projects. Various factors that contribute towards successful project management were identified. Also, relevant literature was reviewed to identify the characteristics and competencies of an effective project manager and the status of project management education in academics and in the software engineering industry. The results obtained from the literature review were used in designing a survey and were further used to compare with and validate the results of this survey. A thorough analysis of these results yielded in capturing the current status and views with a snapshot of the situation in the present Software Engineering industry. A clear view on the subject area and results from a sample population of 73 software engineering professionals consisting of up to 41 experienced managers were analyzed, commented and documented. Conclusions. Various conclusions were drawn including discussions on the compliances and contradictions between present literature and software professionals in the present industry have been made. It was found that the majority of software professionals believe that project management in software engineering is unique from project management in other disciplines. It was found that professionals believe project management to be highly to very highly crucial for the overall success of software projects and that the most important key factors for successful project management were team motivation, communication and risk management. It was found that ‘Ability to foresee a problem’, ‘Decision making’ and ‘Inspires a shared vision’ were among the top three characteristics and ‘Team management’, ‘Leadership’ and ‘Ability to work under pressure’ were among the top three competencies of an effective project manager. It was found that managers feel the need to be taught about project management standards and that the ‘PMBoK’ and ‘ISO 9001’ were the most popular standards implemented. It was found that there are very contrasting views among companies on training project managers before promoting them to managerial positions whereas managers expect to be trained.
