Overall aims and purpose
Nod y modiwl hwn yw rhoi profiad uniongyrchol o gynnal ymchwil seicolegol i fyfyrwyr. Bydd hyn yn datblygu eu sgiliau o ran casglu ac adolygu llenyddiaeth, dylunio arbrofion, casglu data, a dadansoddi a dehongli data. Yn ogystal, bydd myfyrwyr yn datblygu eu sgiliau cynllunio, eu sgiliau trefnu, a'u gallu i gydweithio gydag eraill.
Course content
Bydd myfyrwyr yn ymgysylltu â phob agwedd o'r broses ymchwil, gan gynnwys dylunio arbrofion, ystyried materion moesegol, profi cyfranogwyr, dadansoddi data, ac ysgrifennu adroddiadau ymchwil.
