The Implementation of Education in Geology Science in High Schools

The bachelor thesis deals with the teaching of geology at the higher level of grammar schools. The aim is to map out the conditions under which the teaching is realized. The four main determinants for geology teaching at grammar schools - the framework educational program for grammar schools, school educational programs, textbooks and teaching methods were defined. In the theoretical part, the characteristics of these factors are presented. In the practical part of the thesis they are subjected to closer examination and confrontation. Based on the analysis of the educational programs, textbooks and teachers' opinions, the following conclusions were made: Geology is only marginally enrolled in some schools. Primary pupils come to grammar schools usually without interest in inanimate nature, and their knowledge is weaker than the knowledge of pupils coming from lower secondary schools. The continuity of the curriculum, which is evident from the curriculum documents, does not appear to be very effective in practice. The basic method of teaching that can attract pupils is practical learning of nature in the field. The personality and the teacher's approval are very important
