Hanes

Mae Hanes yn bwnc sy'n gofyn i ymgeiswyr ystyried materion yr unigolyn, materion moesol, moesegol, cymdeithasol, diwylliannol a chyfoes. Byddai gofyn i fyfyrwyr ymchwilio gweithredoedd aelodau cymdeithasau'r gorffennol, a thrwy hynny, codi cwestiynau ynglŷn â gorwelion, cymhellion ac ymatebion y bobl hynny.

Mae'r cwrs cyfan wedi'i strwythuro i ddarparu cyfle i ystyried hanes trwy astudio cyfnod o tua 200 mlynedd a thestun manwl llawer byrrach. Astudir agweddau gwahanol o'r ddau faes yma fel rhan o'r UG a'r Safon Uwch. Mae’r cyrsiau a astudir fel a ganlyn:

→ UG Uned 1: Llywodraeth, gwrthryfel a chymdeithas yng Nghymru tua 1485-1603 (Astudiaeth o Gyfnod)

→ UG Uned 2: Weimar a’i sialensau tua 1918-1933 (Astudiaeth Fanwl) 

→ U2 Uned 3: Ffrainc—Yr Ancien Regime hyd Napoleon tua 1715—1815 (Astudiaeth Eang)   

→ U2 Uned 4: Yr Almaen Natsiaidd tua 1933 - 1945 (Astudiaeth Fanwl)

History is a subject that by its nature requires candidates to consider individual, moral, ethical, social, cultural and contemporary issues. During the two year study period, pupils will be required to examine the actions of people in past societies, and evaluate a range of perspectives and reactions to these actions by both contemporaries and historians.

The course has been structured to give pupils the opportunity to research a period study of 100 years, and a shorter indepth study. A range of topics under these general headings will be studied at AS and A2 level:

→ AS Unit 1: Government, rebellion and society in Wales 1485-1603 (Study of a Period)
