Learning outcomes
Annotation Theoretical preparation of students for the teaching of science and geography and implementation of environmental education. The course combines a classical taxonomic concept and an ecosystem approach that emphasizes the links within the landscape and the individual relationships between the elements of living and inanimate nature. The model biological organisms and ecosystems represented in the Czech Republic are accented with accent of their potential threat. Students are acquainted with the system of organisms and their development.
Students are familiar with basic concepts in neurology and pediatric neurophysiology. They are able to describe the form and function of the nervous system and the physiological structure and functions of the human body to the extent corresponding to the special pedagogical practice. Students know and can characterize manifestations of possible pathologies of the individual in the area of the nervous system and can also characterize the consequences of these pathological conditions.
