Gwyddom fod setio a mathau eraill o grwpio dysgwyr ar sail cyrhaeddiad yn cael eu defnyddio’n eang yn ein system yng Nghymru, ond nid oes gennym dystiolaeth ymchwil gadarn ar hyn a’i effeithiau. Felly, byddaf yn comisiynu arbenigwyr blaenllaw yn y maes hwn i gynnal adolygiad cychwynnol o dystiolaeth mewn perthynas â Chymru. Bydd yr adolygiad yn canolbwyntio’n benodol ar i ba raddau y mae dysgu ac addysgu cyrhaeddiad cymysg eisoes yn digwydd, beth yw’r manteision ond hefyd beth yw’r heriau a pha ddysgu proffesiynol fyddai ei angen ar weithwyr addysg proffesiynol.
We know that setting and other forms of attainment-based learner grouping is used widely in our system in Wales, but we lack robust research evidence on this and its effects. So I will commission leading experts in this area to undertake an initial review of evidence in relation to Wales. The review will focus particularly on the extent to which mixed attainment teaching and learning is already taking place, what the advantages are but also what the challenges are and what professional learning would be required for educational professionals.
