CURRICWLWM 2008/ 2008 CURRICULUM

In Ysgol Pant y Rhedyn, we are now changing the way in which we are teaching and learning in order to make the curriculum more enquiry and skills based. This method is known as Formative Assessment or Assessment for Learning.

It enables children to be more in control of their own learning, through using Thinking Skills, developing their research and enquiry skills and encouraging them to ask and answer open ended questions relating to the task they are doing.

Allowing children to work in groups and with 'Talking Partners' helps develop their thinking and communication skills. It involves the key questions:- WHO? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? WHY? HOW?

This way of teaching helps to create an environment where children feel in control of their own learning and therefore more motivated, enthusiastic and inspired.

Cwricwlwm diwygiedig i Gymru

Bydd cwricwlwm diwygiedig ar gyfer dysgwyr 3-19 oed yn cael ei roi ar waith o fis Medi 2008 ymlaen.

Wrth ddiwygio’r cwricwlwm, yr her oedd sefydlu cwricwlwm ar gyfer yr unfed ganrif ar hugain a fyddai’n cwrdd ag anghenion y dysgwyr unigol ac yn cadw mewn cof, ar yr un pryd, anghenion ehangach Cymru. Er mwyn helpu i gyflawni hyn, mae’r cwricwlwm ysgol diwygiedig yn anelu at y canlynol:

  • canolbwyntio ar y dysgwr
  • sicrhau bod datblygu sgiliau mewn modd priodol yn cael ei wau drwy’r cwricwlwm
  • cynnig llai o gynnwys a chanolbwyntio mwy ar sgiliau
  • canolbwyntio ar barhad a dilyniant 3-19, drwy adeiladu ar y Cyfnod Sylfaen a chysylltu’n effeithiol gyda’r rhaglen Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19
  • bod yn hyblyg
  • cefnogi polisi’r Llywodraeth, yn cynnwys: dwyieithrwydd, y Cwricwlwm Cymreig/Cymru, Ewrop a’r Byd, cyfle cyfartal, bwyd a ffitrwydd, datblygiad cynaliadwy a dinasyddiaeth fyd-eang, a byd gwaith ac entrepreneuriaeth
  • parhau i gyflwyno cwricwlwm unigryw sydd yn briodol ar gyfer Cymru.


Mae’r cwricwlwm diwygiedig yn cynnwys y chwe maes canlynol:

  • y Cyfnod Sylfaen
  • datblygu sgiliau
  • y cwricwlwm cenedlaethol
  • addysg bersonol a chymdeithasol
  • gyrfaoedd a’r byd gwaith
  • addysg grefyddol

Datblygu sgiliau

Mae’r cwricwlwm yn ei gyfanrwydd yn seiliedig ar ganolbwyntio ar ddatblygu sgiliau, ac er mwyn ategu hyn, datblygwyd fframwaith sgiliau anstatudol, 'Fframwaith sgiliau ar gyfer dysgwyr 3 i 19 yng Nghymru'.

Mae’r fframwaith hwn yn rhan allweddol o’r cwricwlwm diwygiedig sy’n canolbwyntio’n fwy ar ddysgwyr a sgiliau ac sydd i’w roi ar waith yng Nghymru o fis Medi 2008. Mae’n rhoi canllawiau am barhad a dilyniant mewn meddwl, cyfathrebu, TGCh a rhif i ddysgwyr o 3-19 a’r tu hwnt - sgiliau sy’n gwbl hanfodol os yw dysgwyr am lwyddo.

DATBLYGU SGILIAU MEDDWL

Rhai negeseuon allweddol o adolygiad o’r cwricwlwm oedd y dylai:

  • canolbwynt unrhyw gwricwlwm newydd fod ar ddatblygu sgiliau, yn enwedig meddwl
  • asesu fod yn ffurfiannol drwy bob cyfnod allweddol.

I gefnogi hyn, rydyn ni wedi ariannu rhaglen ddatblygu ar gyfer datblygu meddwl ac asesu ar gyfer dysgu, gan gydweithio gyda chlystyrau o ysgolion ac ymgynghorwyr Awdurdodau Addysg Lleol (AALl). Roedd y rhaglen yn canolbwyntio ar ddatblygu, gweithredu a lledaenu arfer da mewn addysgu datblygu meddwl a strategaethau asesu ar gyfer dysgu.

Prif nodau’r rhaglen oedd:

  • gwella perfformiad disgyblion 
  • cynyddu’r cyswllt â dysgu 
  • newid arfer yn y dosbarth, a thrwy hynny gwella addysgeg 
  • cynyddu amlder y gwersi creadigol.

A revised curriculum for Wales

A revised curriculum for 3 to 19-year-olds in Wales will be implemented from September 2008.

In revising the curriculum, the challenge was to establish a curriculum for the twenty-first century that meets the needs of individual learners whilst taking account of the broader needs of Wales. To help achieve this, the revised school curriculum aims to:

  • focus on the learner
  • ensure that appropriate skills development is woven throughout the curriculum
  • offer reduced subject content with an increased focus on skills
  • focus on continuity and progression 3-19, by building on the Foundation Phase and linking effectively with the 14-19 Learning Pathways programme
  • be flexible
  • support Government policy, including: bilingualism, Curriculum Cymreig/Wales, Europe and the World, equal opportunities, food and fitness, sustainable development and global citizenship, and the world of work and entrepreneurship
  • continue to deliver a distinctive curriculum that is appropriate for Wales.

The revised curriculum comprises the following six areas:

  • Foundation Phase
  • skills development
  • national curriculum
  • personal and social education
  • careers and the world of work
  • religious education.

Skills Development

A focus on skills development underpins the whole curriculum and to reinforce this, a non-statutory framework, 'Skills framework for 3 to 19-year-olds in Wales', has been developed.  

This framework is a key part of the revise
d learner-centred and skills-focused curriculum to be implemented from September 2008. It provides guidance about continuity and progression in thinking, communication, ICT and number for learners from 3 to 19 and beyond - skills that are fundamental for learners to become successful individuals.

Developing thinking and assessment for learning:

 Some of the key messages from the review of the curriculum were that:\

  • the focus of any new curriculum should be one that developed skills, especially thinking  
  • assessment should be formative throughout each key stage.

To support these, we funded a development programme for developing thinking and assessment for learning working in partnership with school clusters and Local Education Authority (LEA) advisers. The programme focused on the development, implementation and dissemination of good practice in the teaching of developing thinking and assessment for learning strategies.

The main aims of the programme were to:

  • improve pupil performance 
  • increase engagement with learning 
  • change classroom practice, thereby improving pedagogy
  • increase the frequency of creative lessons.
