This diploma thesis deals with the practical integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into geography classes at elementary and secondary schools. Suggested suggestions on how to use GIS in the educational process precede the theoretical starting point of the work. They deal with the wider context of the position of geoinformatics and the level of geoinformatics literacy in the Czech Republic. Sub-chapters about the structure of geoinformatic literacy are also included. The theoretical background continues with the topic of anchoring GIS in national education papers and ends with a chapter about GIS interdisciplinarity and its potential for use in teaching. The methodological part describes the structure of the questionnaire, the methodology of selection of addressed schools and the actual course of the questionnaire survey on the rate of use of GIS in geography classes at elementary and secondary schools. Next, the methodology of selecting freeware GIS programs described and used in the practical part of the thesis. The practical part is divided into three main subchapters reflecting the aims of the thesis. The first one deals with the results of the questionnaire survey. The second evaluation of available GIS programs and their potential for implementation in education. The last subchapter is the main part of the thesis and it deals with suggestions of using GIS in geography lessons at elementary and secondary schools. It includes three learning activities. The first is dedicated to creating own map and second to geographic location. Both of these activities with selected GIS were implemented in geography classes at primary school. The last part presents suggestions on how to use GIS to learn about current topics and issues.
