Course content
|
1. Introduction to the geological sciences - motion of the Earth and of the Moon, the day/night cycle, Earth structure, rocks, minerals, geological processes, soil conditions, regional geology. Simple geological tasks for elementary students. 2. Introduction to the chemistry - inorganic and organic substances, simple chemical experiments for elementary students 3. Conditions for life. Seminars are focused on the didactic application of knowledge about inanimate nature, on the establishment and management of simple science experiments at the elementary school in the sense of the principles of inquiry science education. Exercises may include short excursions focusing on geological phenomena in the region, learning about common minerals and rocks, the use of natural resources (including cultural and historical contexts), the impact of inanimate components of the natural environment on living components of nature.

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to create a knowledge base for teaching science-oriented blocks of the thematic unit Man and his world with a focus on learning about inanimate nature, including basic knowledge of geological sciences, chemistry and regionally focused scientific knowledge of inanimate nature. The course also includes the theory of didactic applications for the field of learning about inanimate nature, an overview of selected teaching forms and methods used in learning about inanimate nature.
The graduate should be able to transform the acquired knowledge into a didactic system at the elementary school and use it in the didactic design of the curriculum, regardless of its division into subjects. At the same time, competencies are acquired for teaching the cross-sectional topic of environmental education (inanimate components of the environment as determining factors for living nature, use of natural resources, extraction of raw materials, protection and creation of the environment,...). In part, the subject is also conceived as a propaedeutic for other disciplines (especially homeland studies subjects, cultivation work, etc.).
