Skills for Life: Ethical Choices

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

Ethical choices is one 20 hour Skills for Life unit, written at Entry 1 to Level 2, that learners combine with other units into a Skills for Life, or Skills for Life and Work, Award, Certificate or Diploma. Learners recognise ethical dilemmas, weigh up values, viewpoints and consequences, and make and justify a decision in everyday and work scenarios. Literacy sits in reading and describing dilemmas, comparing viewpoints, explaining consequences and justifying a choice in speech or writing, with discussion and debate throughout. There is no numeracy in the criteria or the guidance, so numeracy demand is low.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Cynllunio a threfnu ar gyfer gwahanol ddibenion, cynulleidfaoedd a chyd-destunau

  1. Describing and explaining an ethical dilemma

    Asesu: Mewn gwaith cwrs (asesiad di-arholiad)

    At Entry Level learners point out or recognise a dilemma and give its two sides or the viewpoints involved, at Level 1 they describe a dilemma from a real-life or provided scenario and identify factors in the decision, and at Level 2 they explain the conflicting values and analyse the factors. This is required by the assessment criteria for learning outcome 1, often from a written case study or scenario.
