Proposals for improvement of the current situation are suggested in the last chapter.

Self-control is a key non-cognitive skill, which is frequently measured using self-report questionnaires containing items with rating scales. Such data, however, can be hindered by the differences in scale usage among respondents. This may lead to erroneous conclusions when comparing different groups of respondents. The aim of the thesis is to analyze the differences in self-control among students from different Czech upper-secondary schools based on their (unadjusted) self-reports and self-reports adjusted for the differences in scale usage using the anchoring vignette method. The empirical part of the thesis comprises two studies. In the first (pilot) study, we translate a scale to measure self-control, create anchoring vignettes and focus on the verification of the method's basic assumptions using the data from questionnaires and interviews with students. In the second (main) study, we compare the (un-)adjusted self-reports of self-control and the assessment of the vignettes between students from the selected upper- secondary schools of a different type in Prague (N = 312). We found differences in evaluation standards between students from different types of schools. Differences in scale usage among respondents indeed represent a real threat when comparing student self-reports of self-control....

This dissertation deals with the use of the Anchoring Vignette Method in educational research carried out to establish the level of information and communication technology (ICT) knowledge and skills, with the focus on Czech upper-secondary school students. The theoretical part describes curricular documents that define the ICT knowledge and skills. In the Czech Republic that means mainly the Framework Educational Programmes. Attention is also paid to the international document DigComp. The Anchoring Vignette Method with the focus on nonparametric approach of this method is described in detail too. The author also provides an overview of available Czech and foreign bibliography on ICT knowledge and skills research - including the International Computer and Information Literacy (ICILS, 2013 and 2018) - and on the use of the Anchoring Vignette Method in educational research. The empirical part includes the description of the steps taken in formulating anchoring vignettes, this being an integral part of the Anchoring Vignette Method, in accordance with the curricular documents of the Czech Republic, and the steps taken while formulating anchoring vignettes on the basis of the international document DigComp. The verification of the fulfilment of the Anchoring Vignette Method assumptions (vignette...

The present theoretical-empirical thesis deals with the role of feedback in interpreter training. Its aim is to give an overview of the students' attitude towards feedback, their expectations, preferences and the way they use the elements of feedback in their work outside the classroom. The research part of the study also compares the expectations of two groups of BA and MA students at the Institute of Translation Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University. The theoretical part discusses the general importance of interpreter training. It presents the requirements for teachers of interpreting, recommendations for interpreter training programmes as well as the role of feedback in interpreting classes. It clarifies the role of feedback as a means of teaching interpreting, its components, functions, techniques and types and it concludes with a presentation of recommended feedback methods. The empirical study analyses data collected in a questionnaire including BA and MA interpreting students at the Institute of Translation Studies. The results confirmed some of the recommendations presented in existing literature. The data also suggest that students' attitude towards feedback differs according to their year of study. MA students tend to prefer more general, strategic-oriented and diagnostic feedback,...

Um vorhandene Wissenslücken bestimmen zu können, stellen Online-Selbsttests ein geeignetes Instrument dar. In ihnen werden Soll-Anforderungen abgebildet und vorhandenes Ist-Wissen abgefragt. Durch diese mediale Unterstützung sind Lernbedarfe individuell bestimmbar, jedoch trägt sie nicht per se zur Förderung der Selbststeuerung im Lernprozess bei. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, Grenzen von diagnostischen Online-Selbsttests zu identifizieren und zugleich Potentiale für die Unterstützung der Reflexion im selbstgesteuerten Lernprozess aufzuzeigen. Anhand eines entwickelten Online-Selbsttests für Studierende zur eigenständigen Einschätzung ihrer Fähigkeiten und Kenntnisse im Bereich des methodisch-wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens, der hochschulweit zur Verfügung gestellt wurde, sowie parallel erhobener Metadaten erfolgt eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme zur Wirksamkeit von Online-Selbsttests. Die Ergebnisse dieses Beitrags tragen zur konzeptionellen Weiterentwicklung dieses Instrumentes bei.

The need to learn programming increases as more jobs require basic programming skills and computer knowledge. Compulsory school is adding programming to the curriculum, which leads to challenges due to both teachers and students are new to this subject. Even at the university level some students get in touch with programming for the first time in their lives.  This thesis aim to develop a web application that can be used by teachers as a reliable and informative tool when evaluating the learning process of its students, by combining data collected through user interactions while solving programming related puzzles in Python, with answers from periodic self-evaluation surveys.  The study shows that the web application can be seen as a valid tool when evaluating the students' learning process.
