My diploma thesis deals with parallel and central projections of surfaces and algorithmization of their creation. It gives information about differential geometry of surfaces. Basic terms are explained as well as methods how to derive parametrization of several types of surfaces. It is also devoted to projections - parallel and central projection. The thesis deals with calculation of projection of surface. The thesis deals with calculation of projection of surface and in special cases with calculation of its silhouette. There is the program documentation of implemented algorithms. The theory of anaglyphs and their creation by programs is included. 3D red cyan glasses are enclosed to the thesis as well as a CD containing the .pdf version of this thesis and file named "mfiles", which contains proposed functions. The thesis is meant to be used by teachers and students in teaching and studying descriptive geometry and mathematics. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

TITLE: Teaching approaches to pupils' concept development about computer programming in SCRATCH AUTHOR: Bc. Hana Šandová DEPARTMENT: Department of information technology and education SUPERVISOR: Doc. RNDr. Miroslava Černochová, CSc. ABSTRACT: This thesis deals with perceptions of pupils about how computers and computer programs work. The main objective is to inquire of pupils (ISCED-2) about how computer and computer programs work, and what ideas influence them. The theoretical part focuses on the history of the use of computers in teaching and an analysis of current approaches to teaching computer science and programming in the Czech Republic and in selected European countries. The practical part is devoted to mapping concepts of pupils aged 11-14 years involved in a teaching experiment organized at two schools in Prague, the aim of which was to examine the impact of teaching programming in "Scratch" over one semester in relation to pupil's ideas about how a computer works and in terms of the development of pupil's computational thinking. KEYWORDS: pupil's imagination, algorithm, programming, computational thinking, Scratch

The diploma thesis deals with the development of algorithmic thinking among the lower-secondary students as one of their digital competences. It is based on the principle of algorithmic thinking related to the concept of computational thinking and it searches for the ways how to develop it in pupils. The theoretical part is supported by Skinner's concept of programmed learning and with the help of gamification proposes the research based on the students' observation in one school year in which the competence is developed. The raised issue is solved by setting a complex set of teaching materials and learning activities (both in the digital environment and unplugged activities) and their partial transfer into the teaching to a virtual, algorithmic environment of the specially designed application called Prográmko. The goal of the thesis is the analysis of the possibilities of how to include the gamification and the programmed learning into the practice of the development of algorithmic thinking taught at the lower-secondary schools. The research also evaluates the applicability of the application Prográmko and the proposed set of materials provided with methodological guidelines in the practice.

The diploma thesis deals with the teaching of programming at elementary schools in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on mapping the current state of the teaching of programming at elementary schools. In addition, the currently used resources to support the teaching of algorithmization and programming for children are mapped. These resources are evaluated by selected evaluation criteria. On the theoretical basis of thesis, a teaching model focused on programming is designed as a practical output, including learning materials and a methodological manual for teachers. The design of the model of teaching is verified in practice.

This master thesis deals with programming education on first grade of primary schools in application EasyLogo. The theoretical part consists of analysis of education of an original set of short programming exercises. Based on observation of teaching at schools and following interactions with teachers and students was the set modified and supplemented by new exercises. The new educational set includes 52 exercises divided into seven sections which keep the teaching process following the taught steps. The master thesis consists of descriptions and previews of new exercises, guidelines for teachers and as an attachment there is a complete list of exercises divided into sections.

The focus of this diploma thesis is to create a set of short tasks for teaching programming at primary schools focused on Scratch programming enviroment. Those taks should help students to deeply understand of particular term, functions and syntax of commands. Also this set will contain tasks focused on particular term but with different approach of learning the term. First I chose some of the key concepts of teaching programming for 2nd grade primary school. For each set and task I had to set which term will the task be focused on and how the task will accomplish students key learing preferences which is important for learning students. Those task has been developed based on this learning preferences. Diploma thesis is divided into two parts, practical and theoretical part. Theoretical part contains the theoretical starting points from the field of conceptual design and constructivist approach to teaching and consequently contains description of all task including students developing competenses. This part also contain manual for teachers containing pcinipal, core and correct solution of the tasks all described in detail with highlights of important parts for teacher to carefully focuse on. The second and practical part of the diploma theses contains sets of tasks which have been directly tested in teaching on primary school and have been edited during this testing period of time.

The aim of this thesis is mapping of current state of teaching of algorithmization in secondary school. Basic information about the subject is given in theoretical part - a relation between teaching of algorithmization and RVP ZV, and basic assupmtions of teaching of algorithmization: a historical aspect, methods, aims and possibilities of teaching of algorithmization (and an approach on teaching). The essential part of teaching of algorithmization is an education support - a textbook about algorithmization and programming, programming support, projects and competitions for students. Practical part is a pedagogical research. This research consists of five themes A. A quantitative research of teaching of algorithmization in secondary school in České Budějovice. B. A review of extra curricural teaching of algorithmization in ČB. C. A statewide mapping of teaching of algorithmization in Czech Republic. D. A statewide research on a success rate of the competition ?Bobřík informatiky? (informatics beaver). E. A teacher's experience with a textbook.

The work deals with programming education on primary schools in Scratch programme. Investigation was carried out by questionnaire on primary school in theoretic part. The investigation shows the facts relating to teaching programming. Scratch is compared with Baltík and Imagine Logo, which are the most commonly used on primary schools. The work also includes an analysis of teaching materials that are available for teaching Scratch. Results of the analysis of teaching materials are shown in a graph. Procedure of teaching was made on the basis of this analysis. The procedure of teaching is divided into twelve subjects. Pupil sheet and guideline for teacher is created for each subject.

The thesis researches the ability of use of Python programming language in the field of high school education and uses qualitative and quantitative methods of research and finds Python suitable. The thesis also brings theoretical analysis of the Python language, including practical exams in the form of sample programs. It researchs even other programming languages used in education and their suitability for this purpose and compares them with Python programming language. It also finds two most common used programming languages at high schools, which are Pascal / Object Pascal and Java.
