Robbie Coleman24/03/2014robbie.coleman@eefoundation.org.ukwww.educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk

But what does it mean in practice?

Gall dull wedi’i lywio gan dystiolaeth eich helpu i:

• Gael y budd mwyaf posibl o’ch gwariant• Hoelio ymdrech lle y gwna’r gwahaniaeth mwyaf• Gwrthsefyll ffugiadau a ffasiwn

An evidence-informed approach can help you:

• Capture the maximum possible benefit from spending• Focus effort where it will make the most difference• Resist fads and fakes

Pam defnyddio tystiolaeth?Why use evidence?

Ond beth yw ystyr hyn yn ymarferol?

Defnyddio tystiolaeth mewn ymarferUsing evidence in practice• Mae’r Pecyn Cymorth yn adnodd

hygyrch sydd ar gael am ddim, sy’n darparu crynodebau o ymchwil addysgol

• Mae’n canolbwyntio ar ymarfer: mae’n rhoi’r wybodaeth y mae ar ysgolion ei hangen i wneud penderfyniadau gwybodus a chau’r bwlch

• Fe’i seilir ar ddadansoddiadau meta a ddarparwyd gan Brifysgol Durham

• The Toolkit is an accessible, free resource providing summaries of educational research

• Practice focused: giving schools the information they need to make informed decisions and narrow the gap

• Based on meta-analyses provided by Durham University

Astudiaeth achosCase study• Caiff ysgol gynradd £20,000 drwy’r Grant Amddifadedd Disgyblion

yn 2013-14.• Sut ddylai’r ysgol benderfynu defnyddio’r arian hwn?• Dewisiadau posibl: Hyfforddiant unigol, lleihau maint y dosbarth neu

diwtora gan gymheiriaid?

The Toolkit doesn’t tell you what to do, but we hope that it will help them make a more informed decision.

Nid yw’r Pecyn Cymorth yn dweud beth i’w wneud, ond hyderwn y bydd yn helpu pobl i wneud penderfyniad mwy gwybodus.
