Organiser: Dr Steffan Thomas

Dyluniwyd y modiwl hwn i gynorthwyo myfyrwyr i ddylunio, cynnal a chynhyrchu prosiectau ymchwil.

Nod y modiwl hwn yw arfogi myfyrwyr â dealltwriaeth a throsolwg beirniadol o'r materion cysyniadol a methodolegol allweddol sy'n gysylltiedig â gwahanol fathau o ymholiad ymchwil sy'n briodol i fyfyrwyr sy'n ceisio ysgrifennu traethawd hir.

Mae'n mynd i'r afael â materion damcaniaethol ac ymarferol wrth ddylunio prosiectau ymchwil, ac felly bydd hefyd yn datblygu sgiliau trosglwyddadwy allweddol ar gyfer byd gwaith. Mae'r pynciau i fynd i'r afael â nhw yn cynnwys paradeimau ymchwil, moeseg ymchwil, cynnal adolygiadau llenyddiaeth, dadansoddi testunol a disgwrs, a chymryd rhan mewn ymchwil maes.

Pynciau fel * Dewis pwnc ymchwil * Paradeimau Ymchwil: Positifiaeth yn erbyn Dehongliad * Dadansoddiad testunol a dadansoddi cynnwys * Dylunio Holiaduron, cyfweliadau a grwpiau ffocws * Ethnograffeg ac arsylwi cyfranogwyr * Dulliau meintiol ac ansoddol * Moeseg Ymchwil * Cynnal adolygiad llenyddiaeth yn cael sylw yn ystod y modiwl.

Yn ystod y seminarau bydd myfyrwyr yn datblygu sgiliau allweddol wrth gyflwyno, trafod a gwerthuso cwestiynau ymchwil a dulliau arfaethedig yn feirniadol.

D [40-49]

Mae'r gwaith a gyflwynwyd yn ddigonol ac yn dangos lefel dderbyniol o gymhwysedd fel a ganlyn:

Yn gyffredinol gywir ond gyda hepgoriadau a gwallau. Gwneir honiadau heb dystiolaeth gefnogol glir na rhesymu. Mae ganddo strwythur ond mae'n brin o eglurder ac felly mae'n dibynnu ar y darllenydd i wneud cysylltiadau a thybiaethau. Yn tynnu ar ystod gymharol gul o ddeunydd.

good

B [60-69]

Mae gwaith a gyflwynir yn gymwys drwyddo draw ac yn cael ei wahaniaethu gan arddull uwch, dull gweithredu a dewis deunyddiau ategol. Mae'n dangos:

• Strwythur da iawn a dadleuon wedi'u datblygu'n rhesymegol.
• Yn tynnu ar ddeunydd sydd wedi'i gyrchu a'i asesu o ganlyniad i astudio annibynnol, neu mewn ffordd sy'n unigryw i'r myfyriwr.
• Mae tystiolaeth a rhesymu cadarn yn ategu'r datganiadau.
• Cywirdeb a chyflwyniad mewn arddull academaidd briodol.

excellent

[70-100]

Mae gwaith a gyflwynwyd o ansawdd rhagorol ac yn rhagorol mewn un neu fwy o'r ffyrdd a ganlyn:

• Yn darparu tystiolaeth glir o astudiaeth annibynnol helaeth a pherthnasol.
• Mae dadleuon yn cael eu gosod yn eglur ac yn rhoi camau ystyried olynol i'r darllenydd ddod i gasgliadau.

C- to C+

C [40-59]

Mae gwaith a gyflwynir yn gymwys drwyddi draw ac yn cael ei wahaniaethu weithiau gan arddull uwch, dull gweithredu a dewis deunyddiau ategol. Mae'n dangos:

• Strwythur da a dadleuon a ddatblygwyd yn rhesymegol.
• Mewn rhannau o leiaf mae'n tynnu ar ddeunydd sydd wedi'i gyrchu a'i asesu o ganlyniad i astudio annibynnol, neu mewn ffordd sy'n unigryw i'r myfyriwr.
• Ar y cyfan, mae tystiolaeth a rhesymu cadarn yn cefnogi datganiadau.
• Cywirdeb a chyflwyniad mewn arddull academaidd briodol.

1. Dewiswch ystod o sgiliau astudio a methodolegau sy'n briodol i ymchwil yn y Celfyddydau a'r Dyniaethau.

2. Defnyddiwch lenyddiaeth briodol i ddadlau a gwerthuso'r corff gwybodaeth cyfredol mewn ymateb i bwnc ymchwil.

3. Diffinio agwedd gydlynol tuag at gwestiwn ymchwil, trwy ddylunio a gweithredu rhaglen astudio i gefnogi'r cwestiwn hwn.

4. Gwerthuso ymchwil academaidd neu ymchwil yn seiliedig ar set briodol o fframweithiau diwylliannol, cymdeithasol, sefydliadol, economaidd a / neu feirniadol.
