Study-related information

  • Parts of the final state examination and its content
    The content of the state final exam is as follows:
    Natural history and didactics of natural history
    The second field of study including didactics
    Thesis defense
    Pedagogical-psychological basis for subsequent master's studies
    Structure of the state final exam in natural history and didactics of natural history:
    The aim of the state final exam is to verify the level of knowledge of applicants across individual disciplines belong to the educational field of natural history (botany, zoology, anthropology and inanimate nature) and in the field of didactics of natural history. At the same time, applicants must demonstrate the ability to use the above-mentioned knowledge in the didactic transformation of individual topics in the form of basic-type lessons and lessons using organizational forms specific to the field of natural history, such as field teaching, field trips, laboratory work, research-oriented teaching, etc.
    The state final exam in Teaching Natural History has 3 parts:
    1. Didactics of natural history - in this part, students choose a question related to the issue of teaching natural history at primary school - see the didactics of natural history.
    2. Didactic transformation of a natural history topic in a basic lesson - in this part, students choose a topic based on the natural history curriculum in elementary school. Their task is, after sufficiently long preparation, to classify the topic according to valid curricular documents, to formulate educational goals, to propose organization and methods suitable for exposure, fixation and possible application of the subject matter in real situations. Finally, propose diagnostic methods that would verify the effectiveness of the proposed teaching.
    An integral part is the demonstration of expert knowledge related to the topic - see topics for the didactic transformation of the natural history curriculum.
    3. Didactic transformation of the natural history topic in the organizational form of teaching specific to the field of natural history – in this part, students choose a topic from the natural history curriculum and at the same time an alternative organizational form specific to natural history teaching such as laboratory teaching, research teaching, integrated natural science teaching or field teaching. After sufficiently long preparation, the students' task is to classify the topic according to valid curricular documents, to formulate educational goals, the organization of teaching and the methods used in teaching implemented by the prescribed alternative. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen organizational form compared to teaching the same topic in a basic class. An integral part is the demonstration of expert knowledge related to the topic - see topics for the didactic transformation of the natural history curriculum.
