A guide to the didactics of biology

E-book

Katarína Kimáková

The textbook is intended for university students who are preparing for the profession of biology teacher. The structure of the book is similar to an encyclopedia, with one page devoted to each content item, but the topics of the chapters and subchapters follow each other. The explanatory text on the page illustrates the diagram and there are notes and links to other sources of information. For better orientation, the content of the textbook is divided into 8 sections, which cover several chapters. It follows the general didactics, which it connects with the teaching of biological content. The book provides a basic orientation in the approaches to learning this subject, and also explains the relationship between biology as a science and the didactics of biology. It deals with teaching standards and curricula, advises on how to master biological concepts and understanding, how to communicate with students in biology classes, when and why are effective visual and practical methods. It acquaints the reader with the issue of setting goals for biological education in the cognitive, psychomotor and affective areas in relation to formative and summative assessment. Hopeful as well as experienced teachers will find in this publication not only a look into the history of teaching biology, but also a look into the future. Current trends in biology teaching, the connection of teaching with digital technologies, the virtual learning environment and interactive simulations and models belong to science lessons today.

Exactly Solvable Models in Statistical Physics

E-book

E-book

Jozef Strečka

The present textbook deals with exactly solved models and their diverse applications in several branches of physics such as mathematical physics, statistical physics, condensed matter physics and so on. Exactly soluble models are currently considered as an inspiring research field in its own right, which regrettably requires a considerable knowledge of sophisticated mathematics. Accordingly, my primary ambition was to provide an intro- ductory course for undergraduate students that would cover the simplest exactly solved models, whose rigorous solutions are available even after modest calculation. The present textbook should be therefore regarded as an auxiliary graduate-level textbook, which should serve as the student’s guide on this beautiful but surely intricate subject.

Even although I attempted to write largely self-contained textbook for undergraduate students, it is worthy of notice that the course on Exactly Solvable Models in Statistical Physics demands essential knowledges from the quantum mechanics, statistical physics, phase transitions and critical phenomena, which are its indispensable prerequisities. The most crucial fundamentals of these theories are briefly recalled in introductory remarks just for remembering and not for substituting those comprehensive courses. The rest of this textbook is entirely devoted to exactly solved lattice-statistical models with the main emphasis laid on their possible applications in the condensed matter physics. It is the author’s hope that the presented exact solutions are detailed enough in order to be easily followed by undergraduate students even without a support of tedious proofs, cumbersome theorems, longer argumentations, or obvious facts. This rather necessary compromise has of course a certain unadvisable impact on ’exactness’ of the presented solutions.

Finally, it is worthwhile to remark that the present textbook makes just a slight introduction into the simplest exactly solvable models and thus, the interested reader is referred for the follow-up study to several excellent books on exactly solved models quoted in the bibliography list on the next page. Note that the listed books were the major knowledge sources used by creating this textbook and they might be regarded as more advanced literature on this exciting research field.

Vybrané heterocyklické zlúčeniny

E-book

E-book

Mariana Budovská

The aim of writing the university textbook "Selected Heterocyclic Compounds" was to create a study aid for students of the Organic Chemistry program, which provides essential information in a clear format for the subject of Heterocyclic Compounds. In selecting the content of the textbook, the goal was to present basic information about the chemistry of the most significant heterocycles. Given that the summary of chemical knowledge about heterocycles is vast, it was not possible to include all heterocyclic compounds in the content.

The intention was for readers to orient themselves in the field of heterocyclic compounds. Separate chapters included in the content address the nomenclature of heterocycles, basic chemical properties of individual heterocycles, their synthesis and reactions, the occurrence of heterocycles in nature, and their practical applications (medications, dyes, pesticides, detergents, etc.).

Zuzana VargováMiroslav Almáši - Juraj KuchárJana Dinajová 

The script „Základné laboratórne praktikum z anorganickej chémie“ builds on previous editions of the script, with some thematic units updated and supplemented with new knowledge, principles, and detailed work procedures.

This script is intended as a teaching aid for first-year students of the chemistry and interdisciplinary study programs at the Faculty of Science, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. The introductory part of the volume acquaints students with safety regulations that they should follow during work in a chemical laboratory. Subsequently, in five chapters, basic laboratory techniques are described in detail, which students will use in the further part of the practices for preparing inorganic compounds. These chapters are enriched with illustrative images created using the freely distributable ACDFreeLabs 10 program or taken from literature listed at the end of the script. Some images were created by the authors, and others were taken from the catalog of Fisher Slovakia, s.r.o., which provided written permission for their use. The chapters describing the preparation of inorganic compounds are organized according to their composition, from simple elements or molecules, through binary compounds, acids, and salts, to complex compounds.

Within this subject, students should apply their theoretical knowledge gained during lectures on General Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry and thereby acquire basic practical experience and skills that they will use in further studies.

The last two chapters were developed based on cooperation with Duslo a.s., Production Plant Strážske, which participates in the innovation of practical teaching through direct involvement of experts from practice as part of the KEGA project No. 008UPJŠ-4/2018.

Študentská vedecká konferencia PF UPJŠ 2015

E-book

E-book

Vladimír Zeleňák(ed.)

Zborník obsahuje abstrakty príspevky účastníkov Študentskej vedeckej konferencie PF UPJŠ v Košiciach, ktorá sa konala 22. apríla 2015.

Milí študenti, kolegyne a kolegovia! Už po tretí krát vychádza zborník zo Študentskej vedeckej konferencie (ŠVK) na Prírodovedeckej fakulte Univerzity Pavla Jozefa Šafárika v Košiciach, ktorý práve čítate. ŠVK sa teší dlhodobej obľube medzi študentmi a učiteľmi fakulty a teší nás, že ináč to nebolo ani v tomto roku, keď bolo do ŠVK prihlásených 128 príspevkov. Príspevky boli zaradené do 19 sekcií, ktoré navyše dopĺňala otvorená súťaž v programovaní a finále súťaže IHRA. Vystúpenie na ŠVK je pre mnohých študentov aj jednou z prvých príležitostí na získanie skúseností s prezentáciou svojich výsledkov pred odborným publikom. Ak si uvedomíme počet prihlásených príspevkov, pripočítame k nim členov odborných porôt z radov učiteľov fakulty ako aj divákov, ktorí sa prišli podporiť svojich spolužiakov na vystúpeniach, je ŠVK podujatím, keď sa v jednom čase a na jednom mieste stretáva veľká časť študentskej a akademickej obce fakulty. Mnohé abstrakty príspevkov prezentované v tomto zborníku vznikli v rámci práce študentov na čiastkových úlohách, ktoré sú súčasťou výskumných zámerov na ústavoch PF UPJŠ. Abstrakty príspevkov predstavujú svojim spôsobom prehľad výskumných tém na jednotlivých pracoviskách PF UPJŠ. Zborník z ŠVK je tak dobrým nástrojom, ktorý môžu použiť študenti a učitelia fakulty na jej prezentáciu smerom navonok, k partnerom, zamestnávateľom, potenciálnym spolupracovníkom. O spoluprácu pri organizovaní ŠVK už dlhšie prejavujú záujem aj partneri z praxe. Od roku 2005 udeľuje zoskupenie IT spoločností Cenu za najoriginálnejšiu prácu a Cenu za prácu s najlepšími vyhliadkami na praktické využitie. V roku 2015 bola po prvýkrát otvorená sekcia, s názvom „Predstav svoj nápad!“, založená na myšlienke start-up projektov. Do sekcie boli prihlásené tri príspevky, kde študenti predstavili svoje nápady s potenciálnym využitím v praxi. Ich zámery boli hodnotené úspešnými manažérmi zo spoločností GlobalLogic, Košice IT Valley a AmCham, EXIsport, Investeers, KPMG. Vystúpenie študentov pred porotou, jej komentáre a návrhy boli veľkou devízou a skúsenosťou, ktorú naši potenciálni „start-up-isti“ získali. Vyhlásenie výsledkov ŠVK prebieha od roku 2013 v areáli na Šrobárovej ulici a je sprevádzané s ďalšími akciami ScienceFestu ako sú ŠTRK a Karaoke show. Ukazuje sa, že tento formát vyhlásenia výsledkov si nachádza medzi študentmi a učiteľmi čoraz väčšiu obľubu. Na vyhlásení výsledkov boli ocenené príspevky, ktoré odborné poroty vyhodnotili ako v jednotlivých sekciách ako najlepšie. Samozrejme, nie všetci účastníci ŠVK sa mohli dostať medzi laureátov. Avšak všetci účastníci ŠVK sa môžu považovať v istom zmysle za víťazov, lebo urobili niečo pre rozvoj svojej osobnosti, investovali do svojho vzdelania a prispeli k zveľaďovaniu a rozširovaniu poznania v oblasti prírodných vied, matematiky a informatiky.
