Experimental teaching of natural history using PASCO measuring device
No full textThis diploma thesis deals with the topic of "The application of the PASCO measuring system in experimental Science teaching". It is focused on the support of this technology in lessons and it shows the usage of this system at secondary school. It concentrates on the use of the pupils' set PASCO Sensorium - a set of measuring probes, sensors and other accessories, at selected secondary schools during experimental teaching in Science. The theoretical part deals with the definition of the territory Frýdlantsko, physical geographic characteristics, and localities that were used for field experiments. It also explains properties and application of individual sensors associated with this system. It is a kind of a methodical aid for teachers of Science.The practical part of the work includes experiments worked out by the author. These experiments can be used for Science teaching in the classroom or for field research. It also includes a research relating to the use of this experimental system at selected secondary schools in Liberec Region. Keywords: experimental teaching, Pasco, aid, locality, measuring syste

The diagnosis and epidemiology of autism
No full textPurposeThis paper aims to describe the way in which autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is identified, defined and diagnosed; and how changes in the conceptualisation and understanding of autism have impacted on clinical practice and research findings. Specific issues relating to the nature of Asperger syndrome and the profile of females with ASD are discussed. Finally, the apparent increase over time in the incidence of autism is considered.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is a non‐systematic review of the current literature relating to the diagnosis and epidemiology of autism.FindingsDespite its diverse presentation and complex aetiology, the autism spectrum is increasingly well understood amongst professionals and the general public. Diagnostic criteria are revised periodically and new versions of the formal definitions are due to be published soon. The prevalence of ASD appears to be in the region of 1 per cent. There is a clear perception that the true incidence of autism is on the increase and, despite several well‐conducted epidemiological studies, it remains impossible to confirm or refute this notion.Practical implicationsDiagnosis in clinical practice should involve some reference to the formal criteria, the use of standardised diagnostic instruments and should ideally take place within a multi‐disciplinary team setting.Originality/valueThis paper provides an up‐to‐date review of current diagnostic practice for all professionals working with children and adults with ASD.</jats:sec
