Y Pedwar Diben - The Four Purposes

Y pedwar diben, fel yr amlinellir gan ddogfen Dyfodol Llwyddiannus, yw'r sail ar gyfer yr holl cynllunio ar gyfer datblygu Cwricwlwm i Gymru a fydd yn stadudol ar gyfer ysgolion cynradd o fis Medi, 2022.

Rydym eisoes wedi dechrau ar y gwaith o ddylunio a llywio'r cwricwlwm ar lefel ysgol er mwyn darparu'r profiadau dysgu a gweithgareddau gorau i ddatblygu'r dibenion yma. Y nod yw i ddatblygu'r plant a phobl ifanc i fod yn:

- ddysgwyr uchelgeisiol, galluog sy’n barod i ddysgu drwy gydol eu hoes

- cyfranwyr mentrus, creadigol sy’n barod i chwarae eu rhan yn llawn yn eu bywyd a’u gwaith

- dinasyddion egwyddorol, gwybodus Cymru a’r byd

- unigolion iach, hyderus sy’n barod i fyw bywyd gan wireddu eu dyheadau fel aelodau gwerthfawr o gymdeithas.

Mae Cwricwlwm i Gymru wedi ei gynllunio i sicrhau bod pob dysgwr yn gwireddu'r pedwar diben. Mae pob diben yn fwy na phennawd; digrifir hwy yn nhermau nodweddion allweddol. Yn eu cyfanrwydd, dylent fod yn sail i'r holl addysgu a dysgu yng Nghymru.

The four purposes, as set out in the Successful Futures document, have guided the whole design of the new Curriculum for Wales, which will be statutory in primary schools from September, 2022.

We have already begun to design the curriculum on a school level to provide the best learning experiences and activities to develop these purposes. Our aim is to develop children and young people as:

• ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives

• enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work

• ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world

• healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.

A Curriculum for Wales has been designed to ensure all learners fulfil the four purposes. Every purpose is more than a headline; it is also described in terms of key characteristics. They should be used in their entirety to underpin all teaching and learning in Wales.
