“…An honest discussion, balancing teacher and learner voice, preludes changes that have been suggested. This provides an opportunity, within curriculum making and learning space redesign, for teachers to act 'on learner voice and responds to learners' needs, experiences and input' (Welsh Government, 2020), and indeed resonates with related work looking at learner's perception of 'cynefin' (belonging) as part of primary school curriculum development in Wales (Chapman et al, 2023).…”

This research presents a case study of one class’s reflections on how they redesigned their classroom to suit the diverse needs of the teacher and learners, and how learners continue to adapt their learning space to better suit their individual needs. The findings of this paper illuminate how learners value agency and choice in their classrooms, something which can be achieved by offering them various work surfaces and spaces to complete learning activities. Learners suggested that flexible learning environments enabled them to choose where and how to complete their work, but also enabled them to position themselves in social environments that suit their learning needs. This work provides further context and insight into the implementation of the new Curriculum for Wales from September 2022 onwards, as well as the wider education system-level reforms currently taking place in Wales.

“…Mae trafodaeth onest, gan gydbwyso llais athrawon a dysgwyr, yn rhagarweiniad i newidiadau sydd wedi'u hawgrymu. Mae hyn yn rhoi cyfle, wrth lunio cwricwlwm ac ail-ddylunio mannau dysgu, i athrawon weithredu 'ar lais y dysgwr ac ymateb i anghenion, profiadau a mewnbwn dysgwyr' (Llywodraeth Cymru, 2020), ac yn wir, mae'n ategu gwaith cysylltiedig sy'n edrych ar ganfyddiad dysgwr o 'gynefin' (perthyn) fel rhan o ddatblygiad cwricwlwm ysgolion cynradd yng Nghymru (Chapman et al, 2023).…”

Mae’r ymchwil hon yn cyflwyno astudiaeth achos o fyfyrdodau a gasglwyd oddi wrth un dosbarth ar sut yr oeddent wedi ail-ddylunio eu hystafell ddosbarth i weddu i anghenion amrywiol yr athro a’r dysgwyr, a sut mae dysgwyr yn parhau i addasu eu man dysgu i weddu i’w hanghenion unigol yn well. Mae canfyddiadau’r papur hwn yn taflu goleuni ar sut mae dysgwyr yn gwerthfawrogi galluogedd a dewis yn eu hystafelloedd dosbarth, rhywbeth y gellir ei gyflawni drwy gynnig arwynebau gwaith a mannau amrywiol iddynt i gwblhau gweithgareddau dysgu. Awgrymodd y dysgwyr fod amgylcheddau dysgu hyblyg yn eu galluogi i ddewis ble a sut i gwblhau eu gwaith, ond hefyd yn eu galluogi i leoli eu hunain mewn amgylcheddau cymdeithasol sy’n addas i’w hanghenion dysgu. Mae’r gwaith hwn yn rhoi cyd-destun a gweledigaeth bellach ar weithredu’r Cwricwlwm newydd i Gymru o fis Medi 2022 ymlaen, yn ogystal â’r diwygiadau ehangach ar lefel system addysg sy’n digwydd yng Nghymru ar hyn o bryd.
