Y Fframwaith Sgiliau yng nghyfnod allweddol 3 Arfarniad o effaith y Fframwaith Sgiliau ansatudol ar gyfer dysgwyr 3 i 19 oed yng Nghymru yng nghyfnod allweddol 3 The Skills Framework at key stage 3 An evaluation of the impact of the non-statutory Skills framework for 3 to 19-year-olds in Wales at key stage 3 Cefndir Background Yn 2008, cyhoeddodd yr Adran Plant, Addysg, Dysgu Gydol Oes a Sgiliau Orchmynion Pwnc statudol diwygiedig y Cwricwlwm Cenedlaethol a nifer o fframweithiau anstatudol a oedd yn cynnwys y Fframwaith Sgiliau. Mae’r Fframwaith Sgiliau yn nodi pedwar prif faes ar gyfer datblygu medrau, gan gynnwys : • cyfathrebu, gan gynnwys darllen, ysgrifennu, siarad a gwrando; • rhif; • meddwl; a • thechnoleg gwybodaeth a chyfathrebu. In 2008, the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills published the revised statutory National Curriculum Subject Orders and a number of non-statutory frameworks that included the Skills framework. The Skills Framework identifies four main areas for skill development including: • communication, including reading, writing, speaking and listening; • number; • thinking; and • information and communication technology. Prif ganfyddiadau Main findings • Prif effaith y Fframwaith Sgiliau fu codi ymwybyddiaeth am yr angen i ddatblygu medrau disgyblion, yn enwedig llythrennedd a rhifedd. • The Skills Framework’s main effect has been to raise awareness of the need to develop pupils’ skills, particularly literacy and numeracy. • O Fedi 2013, bydd y Fframwaith Llythrennedd a Rhifedd yn adeiladu ar y disgwyliadau a nodir yn y Fframwaith Sgiliau. Bydd yn ofyniad cwricwlaidd statudol, ac yn cynnig mwy o fanylder ar gyfer cynllunio’r cwricwlwm cyfan. • From September 2013, the Literacy and Numeracy Framework will build on the expectations set out in the Skills Framework. It will be a statutory curricular requirement, providing more precision on which to plan the whole curriculum. Prif ganfyddiadau Main findings Cynllunio yng nghyfnod allweddol 3 •Lleiafrif o ysgolion yn unig sy’n cynllunio datblygiad medrau ar draws y cwricwlwm. Maent yn sicrhau ymdriniaeth dda a bod medrau generig yn cael eu datblygu’n gydlynus ar draws yr holl bynciau. Planning in key stage 3 • Only a minority of schools map skills development across the curriculum. They ensure good coverage and coherent development of generic skills across all subjects. •Ychydig o ysgolion yn unig sy’n cynllunio • Only a few schools plan a cocwricwlwm cydlynus gyda lefel gynyddol, ordinated curriculum with an everbarhaus o her mewn medrau generig. increasing level of challenge in generic skills. •Mae’n ddyddiau cynnar iawn bron ym • Planning for numeracy and mhob ysgol o ran cynllunio ar gyfer information and communication medrau technoleg gwybodaeth a technology skills across all subject chyfathrebu ar draws yr holl feysydd areas is at a very early stage in pwnc. nearly all schools. Prif ganfyddiadau Main findings Cynllunio yng nghyfnod allweddol 3 Planning in key stage 3 •Mae gan bron bob ysgol aelod o staff sydd â chyfrifoldeb cyffredinol am ddatblygu a gweithredu strategaeth ar gyfer datblygu medrau generig. • Nearly all schools have a member of staff with overall responsibility for the development and implementation of a strategy for the development of generic skills. • In the few examples where schools co-ordinate generic skills development well, senior leaders communicate a clear vision of how to improve pupils’ generic skills in all subjects across the curriculum. •Yn yr ychydig enghreifftiau lle mae ysgolion yn cydlynu datblygiad medrau generig yn dda, mae uwch arweinwyr yn cyfleu gweledigaeth glir o ran sut i wella medrau generig disgyblion ym mhob pwnc ar draws y cwricwlwm. Prif ganfyddiadau Main findings Cynllunio’r cwricwlwm Curriculum planning • Ychydig iawn o adrannau sy’n gweithio gyda’i gilydd i gydlynu agweddau ar eu gwaith. O ganlyniad, nid ydynt yn cynllunio cwricwlwm sy’n datblygu medrau generig yn raddol ar draws yr holl bynciau. • Very few departments work together to co-ordinate aspects of their work. As a result, they do not plan a curriculum that develops generic skills progressively across all subjects. • Ychydig o ysgolion yn unig sy’n gweithio’n agos gyda’u hysgolion cynradd partner i gynllunio cwricwlwm sy’n adeiladu’n briodol ar fedrau disgyblion pan fyddant yn symud o gyfnod allweddol 2 i gyfnod allweddol 3. • Only a few schools work closely with their partner primaries to plan a curriculum that suitably builds on pupils’ skills when they move from key stage 2 to key stage 3. Prif ganfyddiadau Main findings Addysgu ac asesu Teaching and assessment • Pan mae athrawon pwnc yn datblygu medrau ysgrifennu disgyblion yn effeithiol, maent yn rhoi cyfleoedd i ddisgyblion roi cynnig ar gwestiynau penagored ac maent yn strwythuro’r rhain yn ofalus i herio disgyblion ar y lefel briodol. Maent yn rhannu ac yn esbonio meini prawf asesu yn glir gyda disgyblion. • Where subject teachers develop pupils’ writing skills effectively, they provide pupils with opportunities to attempt openended questions and structure these carefully to challenge pupils at the appropriate level. They share and clearly explain assessment criteria with pupils. • Mewn lleiafrif o achosion, mae gorddibyniaeth ar daflenni gwaith yn golygu mai prin yw’r cyfleoedd i ysgrifennu’n estynedig. Mae hyn yn cyfyngu cynnydd disgyblion mewn ysgrifennu. • In a minority of cases, overreliance on worksheets means that there are few opportunities for writing at length. This restricts pupils’ progress in writing. Prif ganfyddiadau Main findings Asesu medrau generig Assessment of generic skills •Dim ond hanner o’r athrawon y gwnaed arolwg ohonynt sy’n gwneud sylwadau defnyddiol ar gynnydd disgyblion mewn darnau ysgrifennu estynedig. •Yn yr arfer orau, mae athrawon yn defnyddio meini prawf a ddatblygwyd o strategaeth ysgol gyfan sy’n anelu at gydlynu gwelliannau mewn llythrennedd ar draws yr holl bynciau. •Mae’n ddyddiau cynnar iawn yn yr holl ysgolion o ran datblygu technegau i roi adborth ar fedrau rhifedd, meddwl neu dechnoleg gwybodaeth a chyfathrebu. • Only half of teachers surveyed make useful comments on pupils’ progress in extended pieces of writing. • In the best practice, teachers use criteria developed from a wholeschool strategy that aims at coordinating improvements in literacy across all subjects. • The development of techniques to give feedback in the skills of numeracy, thinking or information and communication technology is at a very early stage in all schools. Prif ganfyddiadau Main findings Olrhain cynnydd disgyblion mewn medrau generig Tracking of pupils’ progress in generic skills •Mae ychydig o ysgolion yn defnyddio profion darllen, mathemateg a rhesymu a luniwyd yn allanol ar ddechrau a diwedd cyfnod allweddol 3. Fodd bynnag, nid yw’r profion hyn yn mesur galluoedd disgyblion mewn medrau generig yn y ffordd y mae’r Fframwaith Sgiliau yn eu diffinio. • A few schools use externallyproduced reading, mathematics and reasoning tests at the beginning and end of key stage 3. However, these tests do not measure pupils’ abilities in generic skills in the way that Skills Framework defines them. •Yn 2013, mae Llywodraeth Cymru • In 2013, the Welsh Government are yn cyflwyno profion darllen a rhifedd introducing national tests of reading and numeracy for all pupils from cenedlaethol ar gyfer pob disgybl o Year to Year 9. Flwyddyn 2 i Flwyddyn 9. Argymhellion Recommendations Dylai ysgolion uwchradd: Secondary schools should: •sicrhau ymdriniaeth briodol a graddol yng nghyfnod allweddol 3 i ddatblygu medrau meddwl, cyfathrebu, technoleg gwybodaeth a chyfathrebu a medrau rhifedd disgyblion; • ensure appropriate and progressive coverage in key stage 3 to develop pupils’ skills in thinking, communication, information and communication technology and numeracy skills; •gweithio gyda’u hysgolion cynradd partner i sicrhau parhad a dilyniant addas o ran datblygu medrau generig; • work with their partner primary schools to ensure suitable continuity and progression in the development of generic skills; Argymhellion Recommendations Dylai ysgolion uwchradd: Secondary schools should: • gydlynu’r dull ar gyfer addysgu, cyfathrebu, meddwl, technoleg gwybodaeth a chyfathrebu a medrau rhifedd yng nghyfnod allweddol 3; a • co-ordinate the approach to teaching, communication, thinking, information and communication technology and numeracy skills in key stage 3; and • datblygu systemau effeithiol ar gyfer olrhain cynnydd disgyblion wrth ddatblygu medrau generig i lywio cynllunio yn y dyfodol. • develop effective systems for tracking pupils’ progress in developing generic skills to inform future planning. Argymhellion Recommendations Dylai awdurdodau lleol gefnogi ysgolion o ran: Local authorities should support schools in: • cynllunio cwricwlwm sy’n datblygu medrau llythrennedd a rhifedd disgyblion yn raddol ar draws yr holl bynciau yng nghyfnod allweddol 3; ac • planning a curriculum that develops pupils’ literacy and numeracy skills progressively across all subjects in key stage 3; and • asesu ac olrhain medrau generig • assessing and tracking pupils’ disgyblion rhwng cyfnod generic skills development allweddol 2 a chyfnod allweddol between key stage 2 and key 3, a thrwy gydol cyfnod allweddol stage 3, and throughout key 3. stage 3. Arfer orau Best practice Mae disgyblion yn Ysgol Uwchradd Eirias, Conwy yn datblygu eu medrau generig yn yr holl bynciau ac maent yn adeiladu ar y rhain yn ystod prosiectau estynedig. Ym Mlwyddyn 7, mae Saesneg, mathemateg, iaith dramor fodern, Cymraeg ac addysg gorfforol yn cyfrif am ryw draean o amser y cwricwlwm. Yn ystod gweddill yr amser, mae disgyblion yn datblygu eu medrau yn effeithiol mewn prosiectau estynedig ysgogol sy’n dwyn teitlau fel ‘gwyddoniaeth a moeseg’, ‘gwrthdaro mewn celf’ a ‘Pi in the sky’. Ym Mlwyddyn 8, mae disgyblion yn dilyn cwricwlwm mwy traddodiadol ond cânt gyfle hefyd i wella medrau mewn gwersi ‘medrau’ ar wahân. Pupils in Eirias High School, Conwy develop their generic skills in all subjects and build on these during extended projects. In Year 7, English, mathematics, a modern foreign language, Welsh and physical education take up around a third of the curriculum time. During the rest of the time, pupils develop their skills effectively in stimulating extended projects with titles such as ‘science and ethics’, ‘conflict in art’ and ‘Pi in the sky’. In Year 8, pupils follow a more traditional curriculum but also have the opportunity to improve skills in discrete ‘skills’ lessons.
