Testing students' knowledge of photosynthesis of aquatic plants
This bachelor thesis is concerned with testing students' knowledge of photosynthesis in aquatic plants. The thesis is divided into two main parts, namely theoretical and practical. The theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to the differences between photosynthesis of terrestrial plants and photosynthesis of aquatic plants. In the literature part, a review of selected textbooks of science and chemistry is also given with regard to the content of the topic of photosynthesis. The literature review concludes with a discussion of critical topics in the teaching of science, including photosynthesis. The practical part of the thesis involves a questionnaire survey of 157 students in 8th and 9th grades of selected primary schools. The questionnaire was also completed by primary school science and chemistry teachers. The results of this research show that the pupils have misconceptions about photosynthesis of aquatic plants and in some respects are not able to answer the questions from the questionnaires at all
An impact of the education using interactive workbook on the efficiency of teaching photosynthesis of aquatic plants
This diploma thesis deals with the issue of the influence of teaching with the help of an interactive textbook on the effectiveness of teaching the photosynthesis of aquatic plants. The work is divided into two parts - literature research and analysis of research results. The theoretical part follows on from the bachelor's thesis, which deals with testing students' knowledge of the photosynthesis of aquatic plants. The literary part describes the inclusion of photosynthesis in critical topics in the teaching of natural history and the anchoring of the topic of photosynthesis in the content of natural history and chemistry textbooks. The conclusion of the theoretical part describes the pupils' knowledge of the photosynthesis of aquatic plants and the teaching of environmental education and ecology. The practical part consists of a survey among ninth grade students selected from three elementary schools. An integral part of the investigation is an interview with primary school teachers who teach science. In the interview, questions focused on the issue of digital textbook evaluation are asked. The overall evaluation of the survey shows a positive impact of working with an electronic interactive textbook on pupils' knowledge of photosynthesis and a skeptical view of teachers on working with an interactive textbook
