Prerequisites (in Czech)
Smyslem cvičení je umožnit studentům integrovat poznatky z různých již absolvovaných biologických předmětů a ekologie konfrotací teorie s pozorováními prováděnými přímo v terénu. Dále je na magisterském stupni studia nutné umožnit studentům ověřit si možnosti případného využití práce v terénu pro potřeby výuky přírodopisu na ZŠ. Předpokladem k absolvování předmětu jsou znalosti z kurzů biologie, zejména botaniky a zoologie, ekologie.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
(1) proffesional work in the field,explore several habitats, describe their biological components;
(2) interpret the results ascertained by means of combination of all used methods on all studied habitats;
(3) submit all ascertained data well documented in their individual final reports;
(4) identify all selected (by tutors) important representatives of vascular plants and invertebrate animals;
(5) integrate theoretical knowledge from different branches of biology subjects already passed (esp. botany and zoology) with obsevations in the field.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to:
(1) proffesional work in the field,explore several habitats, describe their biological components;
(2) interpret the results ascertained by means of combination of all used methods on all studied habitats;
(3) submit all ascertained data well documented in their individual final reports;
(4) identify all selected (by tutors) important representatives of vascular plants and invertebrate animals;
(5) integrate theoretical knowledge from different branches of biology subjects already passed (esp. botany and zoology) with obsevations in the field.
The main objective of the course are the following: making students to integrate theoretical knowledge from different branches of natural history subjects already passed with obsevations in the field.
Syllabus
  • Field practises are carried out as team work of students in 4 (3-5) groups under professional supervision of all seminar tutors - each group is concentrated on one selected habitat (wood, meadow, field, fishpond, stream, etc.); interpretations of results ascertained by means of combination of all used methods on all studied habitats will be documented in individual final reports.
  • 1st day: opening of field practises, accomodation, organizational meeting; begining of work in particular habitats (placing of traps etc.), excursion onto surroundings with demonstation of important vegetation units; identification and preparation of collected material.
  • 2nd day: group work on particular habitats; identification and preparation of collected material.
  • 3rd day: group work on particular habitats; excursion into close nature reserves; identification and preparation of collected material, work on final reports.
  • 4th day: finalization of field works (replacing of traps etc.); completing of final reports; defence of final reports, practical examination – botany, zoology; closing of field practises, cleaning up, packing, loading of material and departure.
