This master thesis deals with conceptual knowledge of pupils of the primary school about the ecology of the freshwater ecosystem. Pupils get familiar mainly with typical representatives of organisms which are representing the ecosystem, however, understanding the ecology of the ecosystem demands having a deeper insight into many functions and relations characteristic for the specific ecosystem. The author emphasises the importance of the lessons being carried out through educational programmes in nature. A specific educational programme was designed and realised. Then, the knowledge of pupils of the 1st and 2nd grade was tested and compared on the basis who took part in the programme and who did not. In some tasks, a positive impact of the educational programme was achieved. In other tasks, the same or slightly better results were shown by pupils, who did not participate in this specific programme. In the thesis there are discussed factors, which influence the success rate of the educational programme and pupils' understanding of ecologic relations.

I have chosen " Process of teaching texts" as the main topic of my diploma thesis. It is a study support and also materials for professional training of the study branch cosmetic services. Lack of these curriculum documents makes hard both for the students and teachers of the professional training. In lessons they use teaching texts which are prepared by the teachers. These texts are copied for the students or the students make notes from these texts to their exercise books. This teaching style is financially demanding for the teachers and students. The students often loose some sheets with the texts and so it is quite difficult for them to continue in their learning. My aim is to prepare complete teaching material according to the study plan which can be used for the education and also as a study material for the students. There are lots of new methods, technologies, products in the field of cosmetics. It would be a problem for the publishers to update the textbooks. Maybe that is the reason that these textbooks are missing at the market. KEYWORDS Textbooks, textbook functions, parameters, teaching materials, textbooks, school educational programme

The aim of this diploma thesis is to determine the influence of environmental education programs on elementary schools pupils' attitudes based on the fact that the increasing number of visits of pupils at the center of environmental education increases the attitudes and positive behavior of individuals towards the environment. The first part of the thesis is a comprehensive view of attitudes, their measurement, methodological problems, environmental education in the contemporary curricular education in our country, environmental education, educational programs. Furthermore, the researches were practically tested on the target group of pupils of primary and elementary school second degree. The second part consists of two questionnaires. There are statements to which the respondent attributes their degree of agreement or disagreement with using Likert's scale. Queries in the questionnaires are divided into four areas that are researched more closer. These parts are called: The attitude towards the nature conservation, interest in nature, pro-environmental behavior and attitude towards the environment. Respondents create selected files from the documents provided by the Center for Ecological Education Toulcův dvůr, z. s. in the course of four years. Data obtained from them is statistically evaluated using a general regression model and linear regression. The results show that the number of visits to pupils of primary school have no impact on attitudes towards the environment, attitudes to nature conservation and on pro-environmental behavior. The only area where the relationship was found was of interest to nature. On the other hand, the results of the elementary school second degree show that the attitudes are very pronounced in all the studied areas.

The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge of critical care nurses regarding ventilator waveforms in order to develop an educational programme on this topic. A quantitative, descriptive, contextual research design was used, and convenience sampling implemented. A survey, using a questionnaire as measuring instrument, was conducted among critical care nurses in selected private hospitals in Gauteng. The response rate was 69%. Cronbach’s alpha indicated that the questionnaire was fairly reliable. The total average percentage achieved by the group of 111 respondents was 40,28%, which is 19.72% below the set competency indicator of 60%. Only 15 respondents achieved a percentage of or above the competency indicator. Results proved that the respondents required intensive training on the topic. A user-friendly education programme in the format of a PowerPoint presentation was developed to address knowledge deficiencies in critical care nurses’ interpretation of ventilator graphics. / Dissertation (MCur (Clinical))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Nursing Science / MCur / unrestricted

The main aim of this thesis is to design a school educational programme for physics education at a combined lyceum. The thesis first gives a brief overview of the development of curriculum documents in the Czech lands from the 18th century to the present day and summarizes three trends in the philosophy of education regarding curriculum documents in order to base this design on an awareness of the broader context of trends in education. As the pupil's opinions are also important to us, the results of a Q-methodology study conducted on 22 pupils of a combined lyceum are also presented. They were asked to express their viewpoint for physics topics from the framework educational programme. Pupils of a Prague grammar school were also asked to the same thing, so we can compare their views with pupils of the combined lyceum. Moreover, future teachers were asked to try to estimate the views of the pupils of this lyceum. The school educational programme for physics education at the combined lyceum was designed at the end. We based this design on the previous parts of the thesis, the current revision of the framework educational programme for the combined lyceum, the wishes of the school management and the opinions and preferences of the current pupils of this school.
