GCSE Social Studies

Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.

GCSE Social Studies is data heavy: learners calculate averages and percentages, build graphs and judge how data is presented in the examinations, and in the NEA they design questionnaires, assess and reference sources, and create an artefact such as an email, blog post or research poster. Digital exclusion, social media campaigning and online petitions also appear as content, and both NEA units are submitted digitally. The single biggest thing KS3 should build is a secure routine of collecting data with an online form, analysing it in a spreadsheet and presenting it clearly with referenced sources.

    • Rwy'n gallu cyfeirio at ffynonellau wrth ymchwilio ac esbonio pwysigrwydd gwneud hynny, e.e. creu rhestrau syml ar gyfer cyfeirnodi ffynonellau digidol a ffynonellau all-lein.

    • Rwy'n gallu deall mai llên-ladrad yw copïo gwaith eraill a'i gyflwyno fel fy ngwaith fy hun.

    Cam cynnydd 4

    • Rwy'n gallu gwerthuso dibynadwyedd ffynonellau gwybodaeth gan gyfiawnhau fy marn a’m rhesymau dros ddewisiadau, a chyfeirnodi gwaith gan ddefnyddio dulliau priodol.

    • Rwy'n gallu deall hawlfraint ac esbonio elfennau cyfreithiol a moesegol parchu gwaith creadigol, e.e. ystyried goblygiadau moesegol a chyfreithiol lladrad a llên-ladrad a gwybod bod hynny'n anghyfrifol ac yn amharchus, ac rwy'n gallu defnyddio fy nealltwriaeth o’r rheolau a’r rheoliadau mewn gwahanol senarios.

    Cam cynnydd 5

    • Rwy'n gallu deall hawliau a chyfrifoldebau unigolion fel crewyr a defnyddwyr cynnwys, ac rwy'n gallu meddwl yn feirniadol a gwneud penderfyniadau moesegol am y defnydd o waith creadigol mewn perthynas â defnydd teg a chyfeirio gan ddefnyddio systemau cyfeirnodi ffurfiol, e.e. Harvard a Rhydychen.

    • Rwy'n gallu cyfeirio’n briodol at ffynonellau o wybodaeth a ddefnyddir yn fy ngwaith digidol.

  2. Protecting privacy, consent and confidentiality in online research

    Asesu: Mewn gwaith cwrs (asesiad di-arholiad)

    Learners must understand and address ethical issues in research, including confidentiality, harm to participants, valid consent and privacy, and recognise safety risks. With online surveys this means handling personal data responsibly.

    Pupils discuss what personal information a class survey should never ask for and remove it from a draft form.
    Blwyddyn 8
    Pupils set up a Forms survey so it does not record names and write a short consent statement at the top.
    Blwyddyn 9
    Pupils write a privacy and consent note for their online questionnaire explaining how answers are kept anonymous, stored and deleted in line with data protection law.

    • Rwy'n gallu roi strategaethau priodol ar waith i ddiogelu fy hawliau, fy hunaniaeth, fy mhreifatrwydd a’m diogelwch emosiynol fy hun ac eraill mewn cymunedau ar-lein.

Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill

The questionnaire, chart and digital NEA submission demands closely match GCSE Business, and source credibility and referencing overlap with History and Geography, so a shared KS3 enquiry routine would serve all of them.
