GCSE Religious Studies

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

Religious Studies is almost entirely a literacy GCSE: learners interpret sacred texts, use specialist religious and philosophical terms, compare religious and non-religious perspectives, and write extended evaluative answers, with AO3 judgement worth 36% of the qualification. The only numeracy is interpreting statistics on religious belief and human rights in the two NEAs. The biggest thing Key Stage 3 can build is well-structured written argument that weighs different views and reaches a justified judgement.

Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill

Evaluative writing that weighs viewpoints and reaches a justified judgement is shared with History and English Language and Literature, so a common paragraph structure in Years 7 to 9 would help all three.
