Myfyrwyr fel Partneriaid – cyd addysgu Students as Partners – collaborative learning Sut? 90% o fyfyrwyr yn dysgu orau trwy ddysgu eraill neu ddefnyddio gwybodaeth yn uniongyrchol Modiwl Proses Ymchwil – creu dyddlyfr/ blog wythnosol sy’n cael ei asesu gan gyfoed How? 90% of students learn best by teaching others or using information directly Research Process Module - create a journal / weekly blog assessed by peer

Heriau Challenges Gwrthwynebiad gan fyfyrwyr bod cyd fyfyriwr yn asesu eu gwaith Darlithwyr yn unig ddylai asesu? Myfyrwyr yn cwestiynu gwerth a dibynoldeb yr asesiad? Pwysig sicrhau datblygiad personol pob myfyriwr e.e. Myfyrwyr cryf yn cael eu herio a myfyrwyr gwan – eu hysgogi i ddysgu ar lefel dyfnach. Resistance from students that a fellow student is assessing their work Only lecturers should asses? Students questioned the value and the dependency of the assessment? Important to ensure the personal development of each student e.g. strong students are challenged and weaker students- motivated to learn on a deeper level

Manteision Myfyrwyr fel Partneriaid Advantages of Students as Partners Dim bwydo o’r llwy- pwysleisio cyfrifoldeb y myfyrwyr i ymchwilio a dysgu a datblygu fel dysgwyr holistig, cymryd perchnogaeth o’u gwaith. “perhaps the most important outcome of higher education should be the development by students of their ability to manage their own learning” Race (2001:192) No spoon-feeding - emphasis on the responsibility of the students to explore and learn and develop as holistic learners, taking ownership of their work.
