Cooperative group work presents further tasks for students in addition to solving the assigned problems themselves. The students are forced to formulate their suggestions and approaches and defend, substantiate and explain them to their partners more than when they are working independently. When working cooperatively, the students create and reconstruct their relationships to one another. Cooperation in a group can give the students room to acquire new skills not only in the area of mathematics, but also in the area of interpersonal communication and social relationships. The aim of this thesis is to identify features which are characteristic for communication in the cooperative solving of problems and to determine whether communication in the group influences the process of problemsolving, and if so, how. The basis for the analysis was a corpus of transcripts of conversations between students which took place as part of an experiment. In this experiment, elementary school students of homogeneous ability between the ages of 13 and 15 worked on solving logic problems in small groups. The students' task was to solve an assigned set of problems and to explain their ideas and approaches to each other in such a way that every member of the group could understand the process leading to the achieved solution.

The diploma thesis consist of three parts. The first part is composed of theory of geometry, sumary basic geometrical concepts in subject-matter for elementary school, situate Math to educate programme and importance teaching with computer today. The second part I wrote as manual referenc book for teacher, who will teach according to my material. Last part describe experiment, which I make in 4. class of basic school. The third part describes pupils work witk programmes SMART Notebook and GeoGebra.

This Diploma work deals with topic-based syllabus with a view to English courses on the second level of primary school. Practical part {--} proposal of tuition of three chosen topics (health, food, travelling) was compiled on the basis of theoretical and methodical pieces of knowledge, pedagogical practice and study of the most common textbooks suitable for English courses on the second level of primary school. Choice of topics, sequence and compiling is in accordance with European Framework of Reference determined for the second level of primary school, its level of difficulty and requisite language knowledge corresponds to the pupils of the 8th class of primary school. On the basis of my research during my pedagogical practice, importance for every day life, study of the most common textbooks determined for English courses at the second level of primary school, I have decided for those three already mentioned topics. The topics are compiled in the form of general revision from the point of view of vocabulary, grammar and four language skills.

The goal of this work is to create overview of the zoo clubs in the Carlsbad region. The clubs with their existence and activity contribute to enhance and consolidate curriculum within each output not only in Biology but also in environmental education. In the first part of this work there are summarized data dedicated to the history of the zoo clubs in the Czech Republic. I deal with their distribution according to the criterias given and present status of the zoo clubs within free time activities. The special attention is dedicated to the history of the extinct zoo clubs in the Carlsbad region, to the plans of their future arrangements and recovery in this region, mainly future construction of the zoo. The second part deals with each zoo club in detail. In the last part I deal with animal species, their acquisition and adoption. There are information about extracurricular activities in each institution, like lectures, clubs and camps. Web pages are the integral part of each zoo club because they often inform about present and future activities within extracurricular activities. Key words Zoo clubs , extracurricular activities, Biology, environmental education

The thesis deals with outdoor teaching of mathematics at primary school level. It develops the current interest in outdoor teaching using current innovative learning methods. Its focus is to serve as an inspirational resource for teaching mathematics in the area where a pupil grows up and, on the contrary, to learn about his surroundings through teaching mathematics. It relies partly on teaching via schema-oriented education, but seeks to demonstrate the benefits of outdoor teaching regardless of the style of teaching. It describes and analyzes the specific features, benefits and challenges associated with outdoor learning. The work uses Czech and foreign sources to familiarize the reader with the basic phenomena that arise in connection with the learning process. Their role is pointed out on specific outdoor activities. Detailed analyzes of these activities work in the broader sense as examples of how to lead pupils to enjoy understanding mathematical laws in a non-school environment.

1 Graduation thesis conserns possibilites of working with William Shakesperes work in teaching literature at high school. Its essence is veryfiing proposed activities in praxis and reflexion of results achieved. Methods that I propose in this thesis results from creative teaching conception and are inspired by creative methods. Source publications for proposed activities are The Merchant of Venice and Othello, the Moore of Venice. In the thesis I summarize term of creativity, conception of creative teaching and its goals. I attend to possibilities and difficulties of application of this conception in teaching literature. Common goal of those activities is to get pupils in direct contact with literature and its interpretation by attractive and understandable way. I give reason for proposed activities by partial goals that I want to forfill with them, I introduce description and instructions for use. In reflections I evaluate the process, reaching goals, possibilities of evaluating and possible organization troubles. Conclusions of the thesis are derivated from results of activities, observation and pupils reflections. I see benefit of my work in gaining experience and findings for my further praxi 2

This thesis focuses on innovative approaches and using project methods in German language teaching. The theoretical part deals with the history of project method, its classification and ways that should be applied in teaching. At the same time it is evaluating its positive and negative aspects. Furthermore, the work focuses on alternative and innovative approaches in education, problem-oriented teaching and also an important role of the motivation of the pupil in the educational process. The practical part deals with exchange program of Czech and German students, which was held in the Bavarian town of Lichtenfels, and where was realized project I know my second home Lichtenfels. This work aims to verify whether the project method is appropriate and effective way of teaching, and whether it can fulfill the key competencies prescribed by the Framework Curriculum for secondary schools. Furthermore, the entire project and exchanges visit are reflected by participating students. Interviews and questionnaires, which were filled by students, showed that this method is beneficial enrichment of teaching that develops especially communicative and cognitive competencies. However, it is seen more as a diversification of the traditional way of teaching, which is indispensable. KEYWORDS Innovative process,...

The text contains a lot of illustrations and the thesis is supplemented by factual attachments. Keywords: Josef Úlehla, mathematics, education, history

This thesis documents the history of descriptive geometry teaching in the Czech lands from its beginnings (i.e. from the 1830s) to the World War II. The center of the work is the description of development of descriptive geo- metry teaching at secondary schools, especially "Realschule�, supplemented with an analysis of Czech secondary school textbooks and a brief comparison between the situation in the Czech lands and foreign countries. Attention is also paid to the characterisation of descriptive geometry lectures at Czech and German polytechnics and universities in Prague, Brno and Příbram, inclusive of university textbooks. The work also mentions a brief global de- velopment of projection methods and a contribution of Czech geometers to the development of descriptive geometry. The thesis is supplemented with large factual and pictorial addenda.
