Tato práce se věnuje systémovému myšlení a především jeho kontextu k pedagogice. Cílem práce je poukázat na význam systémového myšlení z různých pohledů. Práce poskytuje přehled různých definic a přístupů, které autoři při práci v tomto oboru využívají. Současně je prezentována provázanost systémového myšlení s pojmy z pedagogiky a možné začlenění systémového myšlení do výuky. Součástí práce je prezentování Bathtub testů jako příkladu testů systémového myšlení, vyhodnocení výsledků těchto testů, které byly studentům magisterského studia na katedře systémové analýzy VŠE v Praze předkládány v rámci kurzu Systémová dynamika.

The main aim of the thesis is creation of working sheets, including user manuals and test working sheets in the schooling. These working sheets contain the tasks for the development of functional thinking in the second grade of primary school. The diploma thesis contains theory of functional thinking, created working sheets, which I created on the basic of inspiration from textbooks for the second grade of primary school, the course of verification working sheets in the classroom and results.

This thesis presents and discusses theoretical roots and background of Instrumental Enrichment. Reuven Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment was originally designed to overcome cognitive difficulties of culturally different children and adults in after second war Israel. Today this program is used all over the world in wide educational contexts. We introduce this program as a part of large body of research and knowledge in so called "thinking skills" domain too. This thesis also presents data from one year evaluation of this program as a tool for improving cognitive abilities and thinking skills of culturally and socially disadvantaged children in Czech primary school. Research design or our study refers to pilot (never published) evaluation study of Instrumental Enrichment in Czech Republic. It was prepared as a comparative, pre-post experimental design. We were interested in differences between experimental and control groups in performance on assessment battery before and after intervention. Assessment battery consisted of measures of cognitive abilities and IQ, school attainment tests and measures of self-esteem. For qualitative analyses we included diary of Instrumental Enrichment's lecturer and some tests from the assessment battery too. Data from both experimental (N=9, aged between 9 and 11) and...

In the first chapter of my master's thesis I think about acting, resp. the problem of fixation in the actor's work as an anchor in the given circumstances of a stage act, in dialogue with my ideas of acting and the philosophical concept of the life of a creature, inclining towards the ideas of Martin Heidegger and outline of his "Dasein". In the second chapter, I focus on my personal experience of both studies and professional practice in the context of chapter one considerations.

With creative thinking we can identify general methods of problem solving, look at real life from another point of view. The method of 6 Thinking Hats is one of the creative ways to do so. The aim of this thesis is a complex review of using this method when solving a problem in a group. It tries to show creative thinking by which the group should get a certain outcome in solving the problem. The thesis analyses thoroughly all the parts of the 6 Hats method, and at the same time, it tries to view other perspectives on the workings of the method. A significant part of the thesis is aimed at the instructor, who decides to use this particular method, and his work. It should be an instrument to use for application of the 6 Thinking Hats method on a specific company problem.

The main goal and intended contribution of the presented doctoral dissertation is to define the most important principles for the usage of the Dynamic Balanced Scorecard (DBSC) as a practical guide for learning organization. The Dynamic Balanced Scorecard is based on the fundamental idea that the conventional (static) Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is not able to encompass the contemporary dynamic environment and hence is not an appropriate tool for any strategic management system. At the beginning of the dissertation, the thesis is dedicated to description of the BSC limitations. Moving further, the thesis establishes a practical guide described in three stages: ? the main principles of DBSC, ? the methodology of implementing DBSC, ? the working model. The model was developed in a real company and is now being used in pilot operation. Furthermore the model contains measurements that help demonstrate the transformation from a traditional organization to a learning organization. I did not find, based on questionnaires collected from 110 companies and my experience in a consulting company, any examples of DBSC being currently used in the Czech Republic. The original hypothesis about non-use of any dynamic model for strategic management system was confirmed in the empirical part of the dissertation.

Složité podnikatelské prostředí vyžaduje sofistikované nástroje pro podporu rozhodování. Těmito nástroji mohou být právě simulace. Každý podnik je složitý systém, který je nutné nejdříve důkladně poznat a na základě tohoto poznání můžeme vytvořit zjednodušený model. Na tomto modelu pak simulujeme změnu jednotlivých parametrů, vstupních podmínek, hypotéz a předpokladů. Ani simulace nám však nemusí zajistit úspěch v podnikání, nicméně je významnou oporou při výběru jednotlivých rozhodnutí.

This thesis is aimed on the improvement of the spatial thinking with the use of a computer programme SketchUp. In the theoretical part I focus on a brief characteristic of the programme SketchUp, definitions of the spatial thinking, its development, use, appearance in RVP ZV and in the textbooks for primary school and its improvement. Main parts of the thesis are several exercises, which I created, and their purpose is to improve the spatial thinking. All of the exercises are realized in the programme SketchUp. The thesis contains methodological comments, aims and solutions of the particular exercises.

The diploma thesis deals with problems of algorithmization and programming at elementary schools. It examines the influence of teaching the basics of programming in Scratch on the development of pupils' algorithmic thinking and their ability to develop logical thinking and problem solving. The theoretical part deals with the definition of related concepts and the relation of programming to the key competencies defined by the RVP ZV. The practical part evaluates the experience with the teaching of pupils of the 5th and 6th grades of elementary school within the pedagogical experiment, whose aim was to study the influence of teaching with the use of the visual programming language Scratch on the development of pupils' algorithmic thinking.
