Information and communication technologies (ICT) play an increasingly important role in learning and teaching. The way they are used in specific lessons is influenced by a number of factors, one of the most important of which is the teacher's beliefs about the use of ICT in education. The way teachers think about modern technologies is very importa...

This review study focuses on the teaching of photosynthesis, and it builds on previous review studies. The aim of this study is to present the findings to readers and thus contribute to improving the training of future teachers and student education. This study conducted a critical review of the topic of photosynthesis education, by examining 80 sy...

In 2020, the global pandemic of COVID-19 significantly affected most human activities, including education. Many countries took anti-epidemic measures to reduce or eliminate the pandemic, which often included reduction or cancellation of full-time face-to-face school education. This, of course, went hand in hand with a number of technical, organiza...

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the use of rescue dogs in disaster searches the Czech Republic. In Introduction, Czech rescue cynology as well as an overview of Czech literature on the topic are briefly introduced. The research part assesses all (104) disaster searches with participation of cynological teams in debris in the Czech...

The Wolfram applications enable direct access to several main information sources (databases) and enable the data to be analysed easily. This offers developing information literacy on authentic material in chemistry education. For chemical compound identification: CAS, CID and Beilstein Numbers are used. In this paper, the authors focused on the am...

PISA study has defined several key areas to be paid attention to by teachers. One of these areas is work with models. The term model can be understood very broadly, it can refer to a drawing of a chemical reaction, a plastic model, a permanent mount (taxidermy) to advanced 3D projections. Teachers are no longer confined to teaching materials and ai...

The biggest STEM intersection between Chemistry and Mathematics lies in chemical calculations. Despite calculations in elementary and secondary school Chemistry are mostly based on elementary mathematic principles and they are also a part of word problems in Mathematics lessons, students usually struggle with them. In some schools, the calculations...

The paper focuses on the use of projects in STEM education. The paper first introduces inquiry-based learning and project-based education. Then the authors present a detailed classification of projects in school education. This classification comes out of classification of projects in general and of characteristics of STEM. Four main areas are iden...

Acquiring the language of the host country is an important factor that influences the process of integration of immigrants into society. For the children of immigrants, proficiency in the official language of their new country is crucial for their success and their smooth integration into the education system and the wider community. This article a...

Abstract The here presented paper addresses a very important issue of communication competence (one of the so called key competencies) as an integral part of education, and the potential mathematics has for its development. The authors draw attention to the fact that communication in mathematics and about mathematics is one of the tools that can su...

Discussions on integrating students whose mother tongue is not Czech into the Czech education system tend to concentrate on foreign nationals but often fail to take into account those students whose parents are Czech citizens but whose mother tongue is not the language of majority society. Data from the Czech population census confirm that there ar...

Electronic testing has become a regular part of online courses. Most learning management systems offer a wide range of tools that can be used in electronic tests. With respect to time demands, the most efficient tools are those that allow automatic assessment. The presented paper focuses on one of these tools: matching questions in which one questi...

The chapter focuses on off-line communication using (not only) mobile devices where absence of direct communication increases the risk of misunderstanding and loss of time. Two principles that can lower this danger, the principle of charity and the principle of scaffolding, are presented first separately, and then in mutual relationship. The aim of...

In 2013, the Faculty of Education, Charles University in Prague, was awarded a grant project FRVŠ whose main goal was to build and upgrade current technological facilities for the use of modern informational and communicational technologies in the education of future mathematics and elementary teachers. The new facilities have been used in several...

The paper presents one of the possible perspectives on what can be called "good" questions in teaching. This perspective view is based on the definition of "good" questions in Sullivan and Lilburn (2010) and extends it to natural sciences and problems based on interdisciplinary relations. The presented activities are anchored in the Theory of Didac...

The paper focuses on the potential and possibilities of use of scaffolding in e-learning courses. One of the key concepts the author works with and builds upon is the concept of zone of proximal development, which was introduced by Vygotsky. One of the key questions every teacher must ask is how to state the border between the current pupil's knowl...

Introduction of computers to mathematics education is a worldwide trend touching all levels and types of schools. Although development of ICT is rapid and first-class, its introduction to schools often faces many difficulties. Teachers and their training play a significant role in this process. The aim of this paper is to show some aspects that mak...

The article focuses on a one-to-one computing initiative in the Czech Republic in which netbooks were implemented in the teaching of mathematics in three primary schools. The teachers got didactic support from the publishing house which publishes e-textbooks but otherwise were expected to use their professional knowledge for the implementation of n...

The article focuses on the way modern technologies are used in the education of mathematics, biology and chemistry. Namely, it deals with a multimedia classroom (dataprojector, PC, visualiser, audio, interactive board) and a 'laptop mobile classroom' (laptops with software such as Mathematica, Statistica, Cabri Geometry II plus, Cabri 3D etc.). Som...

Wiki tools, which became known mainly thanks to the Wikipedia encyclopedia, represent quite a new phenomenon on the Internet. The work presented here deals with three areas connected to a possible use of wiki tools for the preparation of an e-learning course. To what extent does Wikipedia.com contain terms necessary for scientific lectures at the u...

The structure of students' mental image of the Dice BlackJack game is studied and some cognitive and meta-cognitive phenomena of this structure are presented and briefly described. The motivation of this experiment is based on the experience from experiments and workshops with future mathematics teachers. Acknowledgement: The research was supported...

The paper presents the potential of the use of Computer Algebra Systems in mathematics education, especially in solving problems whose standard solution goes beyond the students' abilities, be it due to technical demands (making use of the computational power of computers) or due to high difficulty of the problem (using the possibility to model the...
