Learning outcomes
The State Final Exam in History and Didactics of History consists of two parts: 1) the parts examining students' knowledge and skills from the didactics of the field and the ability of didactic interpretation of the scientific contents of professional disciplines 2) the parts examining the student's knowledge of the subject's study base
Questions are designed as cross-cutting - from classical (ancient) to modern times. The presentation outlines the issues and explains one or two partial problems. Why are these issues outlined by the student on the basis of literature. It is not just about the literature he read but about which he has heard. It is not enough to include just a few book titles at the beginning of the exam. Thus, each interpretation must include an overview of existing views on the issue. Responses should also include a look at history in their entirety - without distinction of "general" and "Czech". In the part of the final state examination on didactics of history, the student will demonstrate the theoretical knowledge of didactics and methodology of history and will outline their practical application on historical topics taught at primary and secondary schools.
