Foundation Digital Technology

Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.

Foundation Digital Technology is a two year Entry Level and Level 1 qualification for learners aged 14 to 16, leading on to GCSE Digital Technology. Literacy sits mainly in the Unit 1 topic tests, where learners read multiple choice, objective and short answer questions and use technical terms such as CPU, RAM, MFA and phishing, and in the NEA units, where they write goals, success criteria and annotations, write text and narration for their product and reflect on their work. Numeracy sits in Unit 2: learners collect audience data, enter it in a spreadsheet, total and filter it and present it in pictograms, bar, pie and line charts. Coordinates, scores, timings and time plans add smaller numeracy demands in the games, quizzes and videos.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Strategaethau darllen

  1. Reading test questions and technical content

    Asesu: Yn yr arholiad

    Unit 1 is three 20 minute topic tests made up of multiple choice, objective and short answer questions. Learners read questions closely about digital systems, online safety and digital working practices and pick out what each one asks.

    Llythrennedd: Strategaethau darllen

    Paratoi disgyblion

    Blwyddyn 7
    Pupils answer ten multiple choice questions on parts of a computer, underlining the key word in each question before choosing.
    Blwyddyn 8
    Pupils read a short article on cloud storage and answer short questions, skimming for the main idea and scanning for two named benefits.
    Blwyddyn 9
    Pupils sit a timed 20 minute practice test on online safety with multiple choice and short answer questions, then check which questions they misread.

  2. Reading critically to spot phishing, scams and fake websites

    Asesu: Yn yr arholiad

    Learners know how to recognise and respond to online threats such as phishing emails, scams and unsafe or fake websites, and safe downloading practices such as checking the web address and reviews. This depends on reading digital texts for clues about their reliability.

    Blwyddyn 7
    Pupils read two emails, one real and one fake, and highlight three clues that show which one is a scam.

The qualification leads on to GCSE Digital Technology, where the same survey, spreadsheet and chart work grows into cleaning and analysing a larger WJEC data set with formulas and pivot tables, and the written planning and evaluation become longer. Survey design, frequency totals and bar, pie and line charts support the statistics work in Mathematics and Numeracy, and reading and writing about online safety links with English and Personal and Social Education.
