The doctoral thesis titled "Development of competency to manipulate structured data, information, and knowledge in ICT education" is carried out in the held of ICT education theory, a pedagogical discipline dealing with a theory of educational action leading to the development of information literacy. The research project was connected to the previous research activities realized in the field by author's department members. The research was focused on the elaboration of form and approach to the development of competency to handle structured data, information and knowledge. This competency is described as a set of abilities and skills to manipulate such structures, for example structured text, diagram of database model, mind map, or concept map, and the ability to transform these structures among each other.

In my diploma thesis, I focused on textbooks treating about movement and dance methods based on the works of Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, Isadora Duncan and Carl Orff, which were published in our country between the years 1930 and 1989, on their themes and authors. I have followed the circumstances under which the textbooks were published, the institutions that published them and their contribution to dance and movement pedagogy. I try to point out the main topics of each publication, and to provide their subsequent analysis and comparison. The goal of my work is to present an overview of a wide spectrum of dance and movement methods and to try to find a common theme in them. In the conclusion of my work I touch on the subject of the importance of this teaching material for contemporary conceptions of dance pedagogy and I complement the overall context with a list of textbooks published after 1989.

The practical part is focused on the design of educational activities designed for use in lessons of civics and art education in the cross-cutting theme of Media Education. Teaching units are designed based on previous implementation and subsequent evaluation at a primary school in Lhenice during the academic year 2011/12.

Abstract The thesis gives several examples of literature published in Czech /Slovak that either focus on the matter of the Indians of the US Great Plains, or are original pieces of Indian literature. The selected fiction and non-fiction work is a starting point for discussing the topic of North American Indians, our relation to it as well as potential analogies with the topics of the current society, and designing related drama education projects. The thesis consists of three chapters, each devoted to stories and issues of a single tribe. The first two chapters contain North American Indian mythology, the third one explores the relationships and conflicts of Indians and settlers (especially throughout the 19th century). The resulting projects of each chapter aim at different target groups (pre-school age, primary school age, secondary school age).
