Ymwybyddiaeth oedolion o'r cyfryngau
Mae ymchwil reolaidd Ofcom i ymwybyddiaeth oedolion o'r cyfryngau yn rhoi tystiolaeth fanwl ar ddefnydd, agweddau a dealltwriaeth o'r cyfryngau ymhlith oedolion 16+ oed yn y DU. Mae'n cynnwys teledu, radio, ffonau symudol, gemau, a'r rhyngrwyd, gan ganolbwyntio'n benodol ar yr olaf.
Mae ymwybyddiaeth o'r cyfryngau'n galluogi pobl i gaffael y sgiliau, yr wybodaeth a'r ddealltwriaeth sydd eu hangen arnynt i wneud defnydd llawn o'r cyfleoedd a gyflwynir gan wasanaethau cyfathrebu traddodiadol a chan wasanaethau cyfathrebu newydd. Mae ymwybyddiaeth o'r cyfryngau hefyd yn helpu pobl i reoli cynnwys a chyfathrebu, ac i ddiogelu eu hunain a'u teuluoedd rhag y risgiau posib sy'n gysylltiedig â defnyddio'r gwasanaethau hyn.
Defnydd oedolion o'r cyfryngau a'u hagweddau atynt
Gan dynnu'n bennaf ar Draciwr Ymwybyddiaeth Oedolion o'r Cyfryngau meintiol Ofcom, mae'r adroddiad hwn yn darparu tystiolaeth ar ddefnydd, agweddau a dealltwriaeth o'r cyfryngau ymhlith oedolion 16 oed a throsodd yn y DU. Mae'r adroddiad hwn hefyd yn defnyddio ein hymchwil ansoddol ar Fywydau Cyfryngau Oedolion, arolwg omnibws CATI Tracio Technoleg meintiol ac Arolwg Allgáu Digidol meintiol i ddarparu naratif cyffredinol ar themâu allweddol o brofiadau oedolion o'r cyfryngau yn 2020. Mae'r adroddiad yn ddogfen gyfeirio ar gyfer y diwydiant, rhanddeiliaid a'r cyhoedd.
Mae Bywydau Cyfryngau Oedolion yn astudiaeth fideo ethnograffig ansoddol 16 mlynedd sy'n anelu at roi wyneb dynol i'r data. Mae'r astudiaeth yn olrhain natur gyfnewidiol perthynas unigolion â chyfryngau digidol – sut mae'n cyd-fynd â'u bywydau, beth sy'n eu hysgogi i fabwysiadu technoleg newydd a dysgu sgiliau newydd, eu harferion defnyddio, lefelau dealltwriaeth, materion a phryderon. Gan ddefnyddio sampl fach o 18 o bobl, nid yw'r astudiaeth hon yn sampl sy'n cynrychioli'r genedl a dylid cymryd y canlyniadau fel rhai dangosol a darluniadol.
