Skills for Work: Sustainable Economic Development
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Sustainable Economic Development is a 20 hour Skills for Work unit, from Entry 1 to Level 2, in which learners find out what makes a workplace sustainable, how actions such as saving energy, recycling and travel choices affect the environment and community, then plan a sustainability strategy for their own setting, carry out activities and review their impact. It is one unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. Digital demand is low. No criterion needs a digital tool, but the pack suggests spreadsheets for energy or waste data, presentations, online research and photo evidence.

Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 20 guided learning hours.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Cyfnewid a rhannu gwybodaeth
-
Capturing photo and video evidence of sustainability activities
Learners at every level take part in sustainability activities, and the sources of evidence include photographs or video clips of learners doing the tasks and recordings of learners presenting their projects. Taking and organising this media is a way to evidence the learning outcome 4 criteria, not a skill the criteria assess.

Rwy'n gallu dewis a defnyddio amrywiaeth o feddalwedd, offer a dulliau priodol i greu, addasu a chyfuno cydrannau aml-gyfrwng ar gyfer amrywiaeth o gynulleidfaoedd a dibenion, megis:
- testun a delweddau, e.e. archwilio a defnyddio dulliau addasu delweddau yn effeithiol; archwilio a defnyddio’r agweddau niferus ar gynllun dogfen yn briodol; defnyddio animeiddiad, effeithiau fideo a sain fel adlais, tempo, amlen, haenu, cyfradd fframiau, fframiau allweddol

Da gwybod
- Unit codes run from Entry 1 to Level 2: "S664E1", "S664E2", "S664E3", "S664L1" and "S664L2", with 20 GLH (unit overview, page 3).
- No special equipment is needed for assessment: "Assessment of this unit should not require any specific resources" (page 17). Delivery uses standard classrooms and practical spaces (page 16), so learners need access to a real setting such as the school site for their activities.
- Evidence can be digital. The sources of evidence include "photographs or video clips of learners carrying out sustainability tasks" and "digital records or spreadsheets tracking energy, water, or waste reduction outcomes" (page 15), and the specification says the portfolio "is not limited to paper-based materials" (section 4.1, page 18).
- Evidence sent for external quality assurance must be digital: "all evidence submitted for sampling must be provided digitally by the centre" (specification section 5.2, page 23).
- AI misuse is malpractice. Examples include "Copying or paraphrasing whole responses of AI-generated content." and "Failing to acknowledge use of AI tools when they have been used as a source of information." (specification section 4.6, page 21).
- Suggested assessment tasks are optional: "These tasks are not mandatory." Teachers may use, adapt or replace them (specification section 4.1, page 18).
- The pack notes that planned UK limits on social media use by under 16s "may impact some of our qualifications" (page 2), which matters if a campaign would be run on social media.
