Trosolwg
Rwy'n ddarlithydd mewn Seicoleg Gymdeithasol yn Ysgol y Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol. Mae fy mhrif ddiddordebau ymchwil yn nodi a deall ffactorau sy'n cefnogi datblygiad plant. Mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd mewn gwahaniaethau prosesu synhwyraidd a phrofiadau synhwyraidd a'u heffaith ar ddatblygiad plant. Mae fy ngwaith presennol yn defnyddio data gweinyddol a data arolwg ar raddfa fawr i ddeall a chefnogi addysg plant ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol. Rwy'n cydweithio â Sefydliad Ymchwil a Data Cymdeithasol ac Economaidd Cymru (WISERD) ac Ymchwil Data Gweinyddol (ADR) Cymru i gyflawni'r gwaith hwn.
Yn flaenorol, roeddwn i'n gweithio fel Cydymaith Ymchwil yn yr Ysgol Gwyddorau Gofal Iechyd a'r Ysgol Seicoleg ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd. Yn y rôl hon, gweithiais ar brosiectau ymchwil gyda ffocws ar hyblygrwydd gwybyddol, anhwylder cydlynu datblygiadol, a manteision chwarae ar gyfer datblygiad cymdeithasol ac emosiynol. Rwy'n defnyddio amrywiaeth o ddulliau ymchwil gan gynnwys cysylltu data, asesiadau ymddygiadol, adroddiadau gofalwyr, electroencephalography (EEG), a sbectrosgopeg is-goch agos swyddogaethol (fNIRS).

Ymchwil
Prosiectau cyfredol:
Lle cywir, yr amser cywir, cymorth cywir: archwilio darpariaeth anghenion dysgu ychwanegol a chanlyniadau addysgol yng Nghymru
Mae deall sut mae darpariaeth anghenion dysgu ychwanegol yn cefnogi canlyniadau addysgol y rhai sydd â chyflyrau iechyd yn bwysig ar gyfer cynllunio a gweithredu system gymorth effeithiol. Mae ymchwil yn awgrymu bod plant â chyflyrau iechyd yn fwy tebygol o brofi canlyniadau addysg negyddol, gan gynnwys mwy o waharddiadau, presenoldeb is, a chyrhaeddiad gwaeth. Fodd bynnag, ychydig a wyddys am bwysigrwydd amseru a gweithredu cymorth ar ganlyniadau addysgol. Bydd y prosiect hwn yn cysylltu data iechyd ac addysg gweinyddol i archwilio sut y gall amseru, cyd-destun a diagnosis o gyflwr (au) iechyd effeithio ar deithiau academaidd plant, gan gynnwys effaith unrhyw gymorth addysgol a gynigir. Bydd y dadansoddiad hwn yn cael ei gwblhau yng nghyd-destun symud o'r system Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig (AAA) i'r system Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol (ADY), yn unol â Deddf Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol a Thribiwnlys Addysg Cymru (2018).
Pa ffactorau unigol, teulu ac ysgol sy'n dylanwadu ar adnabod anghenion dysgu ychwanegol?
Nod yr astudiaeth hon yw nodi pa ffactorau unigol, teulu ac ysgolion sy'n dylanwadu ar nodi anghenion addysgol arbennig/anghenion dysgu ychwanegol (AAA/ADY) gan ddefnyddio set ddata addysg weinyddol fawr o Gymru. Bydd data addysg weinyddol gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn gysylltiedig â data o Gyfrifiad y Deyrnas Unedig 2011. Bydd dadansoddiad ychwanegol yn archwilio sut y gallai'r ffactorau hyn fod yn wahanol ar draws gwahanol fathau o AAA.
Prosiectau blaenorol:
Cydgysylltu, Symud, a'r Astudiaeth Ymennydd (CoMB): Gwnaeth astudiaeth CoMB ymchwilio i gydberthynas niwral Anhwylder Cydlynu Datblygiadol (DCD). Yn benodol, defnyddiais electroenceffalograffeg (EEG) i archwilio gweithgarwch system niwronau drych mewn plant â DCD.
Manteision chwarae doliau: Cydlynais dri phecyn gwaith sy'n ymchwilio i effaith chwarae doliau ar draws nifer o feysydd gan gynnwys empathi, sgiliau cymdeithasol ac iaith. Roedd y prosiect hwn yn cynnwys defnyddio sbectrosgopeg swyddogaethol sydd bron â chael ei ffrwythloni, asesiadau ymddygiadol, adroddiadau rhoddwyr gofal, a mesurau arsylwi mewn plant niwro-nodweddiadol a phlant â nodweddion awtistig.
Rôl hyblygrwydd gwybyddol mewn ymddygiad ailadroddus plant: Archwiliodd yr astudiaeth hon rôl is-fathau o hyblygrwydd gwybyddol (hyblygrwydd symud a chynrychioliadol set) ar ymddygiadau ailadroddus plant. Ystyriais hefyd rôl gallu ieithyddol ac iechyd meddwl plant. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys dadansoddi set ddata fawr o blant ag anawsterau cymdeithasol, gwybyddol ac ymddygiadol gan yr Uned Asesu Niwroddatblygiadol (NDAU).
Addysgu
Rwy'n rhan o'r tîm addysgu ar gyfer y BSc Gwyddorau Dynol a Chymdeithasol. Rwy'n cyfrannu at addysgu ar Gyflwyniad i Seicoleg ar gyfer y Gwyddorau Dynol a Chymdeithasol (Blwyddyn 1), Datblygiad Dynol (Blwyddyn 2), Dulliau Ymchwil Cymdeithasol (Blwyddyn 2), a Niwroseicoleg a Chymdeithas (Blwyddyn 3). Rwyf hefyd yn goruchwylio myfyrwyr sy'n cwblhau prosiectau traethawd hir.
