Overall aims and purpose

Mae'r modiwl hwn yn adeiladu ar y dulliau ymchwilio a dadansoddi data a ddysgwyd yn y flwyddyn gyntaf. Mae’r modiwl yn ymdrin â deall data, priodweddau seicometreg holiaduron a mesurau seicolegol; dibynadwyedd a dilysrwydd; cydberthyniad ac atchweliad a dulliau ansoddol. Mae cynnwys y modiwl hwn yn cwmpasu llawer o sgiliau craidd sydd eu hangen yn unol â chanllawiau BPS ar gyfer gradd achrededig ac yn rhagofyniad ar gyfer y modiwl dulliau ymchwil ac ystadegau 4

Gan fod y modiwl hwn yn canolbwyntio ar uwch dechnegau ystadegol, disgwylir i fyfyrwyr feddu ar TGAU mathemateg a dealltwriaeth ddigonol o'r cysyniadau a astudiwyd yn y modiwl dulliau ymchwil yn y flwyddyn gyntaf.

Mi fydd y modiwl yma yn ymestyn eich sgiliau a hyder wrth fynd i'r afael â dylunio ymchwil a dadansoddi data, ac yn hanfodol er mwyn eich paratoi ar gyfer eich traethawd hir yn y 3edd flwyddyn.

Course content

Cyflwyniad i'r modiwl ac adolygu pynciau craidd Dylunio holiadur – rhan 1 Dylunio holiadur – rhan 2 Cydberthynas a cydberthyniad rhannol Atchweliad I; Un rhagfynegydd Atchweliad II: Rhagfynegydd lluosog Ymchwil Ansoddol I: beth yw hwn? Ymchwil Ansoddol II: Sut i gasglu’r math yma o ddata? Ymchwil Ansoddol III: Sut i ddadansoddi’r math yma o ddata? Adolygu arholiad a'r canllawiau ar ysgrifennu eich adroddiad ymchwil

  3. Dangos y gallu i weithio'n gynhyrchiol fel rhan o dîm drwy gyfrannu, o fewn rôl cyfranogwr ymchwil, at yr ymchwil a gynhaliwyd o fewn ysgol Seicoleg.

  4. Deallt y gwahaniaeth rhwng dulliau ansoddol a menintiol wrth gasglu a dadansoddi’r mathau yma o ddata.

  5. Dangos dealltwriaeth o sail profion seicolegol a sut cânt eu defnyddio a lluniadau cysylltiedig yn cynnwys dibynadwyedd, dilysrwydd a phwêr didoli.

  6. Defnyddio eu gwybodaeth am gysyniadau profion seicolegol i greu a gwerthuso holiadur seicometreg. Dadansoddi eitemau unigol o ran eu dibynadwyedd a’u pwêr didoli.

  7. Dangos y gallu i gyfathrebu ymchwil gwyddonol ar lafar ac ar bapur.

  8. Defnyddio eu gwybodaeth am gysyniadau methodolegol i werthuso a deall materion sy'n ymwneud â chynllunio ymchwil, rhesymeg profi damcaniaethau, casglu a dehongli data.

  9. Defnyddio eu gwybodaeth am ddulliau ymchwil ac ystadegau i ddadansoddi setiau data â llaw ac ar gyfrifiadur (yn cynnwys dewis dadansoddiadau priodol yn seiliedig ar ddamcaniaethau astudiaethau), cynhyrchu graffiau o ddata a dehongli canlyniadau yng nghyd-destun y damcaniaethau.

  10. Dehongli dadansoddiadau ystadegol a dulliau ymchwil trwy lunio cwestiynau ymchwil, dewis/gwneud dadansoddiadau a llunio graffiau o ddata a dehongli canfyddiadau'n seiliedig ar y data a gesglir.

  11. Ymarfer casglu, trawsgrifio a dadansoddi data ansoddol. A sut i ysgrigennu’r data yma i fyny ar gyfer adroddiad ymchwil.

  12. Cymryd rhan mewn ymchwil seicolegol parhaus trwy’r rhaglen SONA, yn ogystal ag aseiniadau gwaith cartref yn gysylltiedig ag arbrofion.
