KEGA 044UK-4/2017 University textbook of school management for students of science teaching with practical demonstrations - project leader; https://www.portalvs.sk/sk/prehlad-projektov/kega/10726; The project brought a request for writing students´ textbook with exercises, special for that of them, who are preparing to be science teachers. The aim was to prepare adequate materials, to publish School management textbook with exercises for students and to verify it in practice.

Vega 1/0166/16 The identification of pupils’ misconceptions and possibilities of their elimination within didactic reconstruction of key chemistry fields at primary and secondary schools, member of the research team. Project helped us to identify and find out pupils´ misconceptions in key areas of chemistry via various diagnostic tools: concept maps, clustering and various types of learning tasks: conceptual, complex, divergent, the solution of which contributes to the elimination of the misconceptions.

3

KEGA 016UK/-4/2022 Methodical handbook with proposals for prevention programmes against burnout and succumbing to workload with coping techniques and solution strategies for teachers. Thanks to the project, it was possible to conduct workshops, seminars and meetings with practising teachers and future teachers on the topic of workload management and burnout prevention. We prepared, published and distributed a methodological manual on the subject as a starting point and support material in this currently intensively researched area to the target group of primary, secondary and university teachers, as well as to school psychologists.
