INTRODUCTION The 18 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which contain a practical component all include a practical assessment task (PAT). These subjects are:  AGRICULTURE: Agricultural Management Practices, Agricultural Technology  ARTS: Dance Studies, Design, Dramatic Arts, Music, Visual Arts  SCIENCES: Computer Applications Technology, Information Technology, Technical Sciences; Technical Mathematics  SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism  TECHNOLOGY: Civil Technology, Electrical Technology, Mechanical Technology and Engineering Graphics and Design A practical assessment task (PAT) mark is a compulsory component of the final promotion mark for all candidates offering subjects that have a practical component and counts 25% (100 marks) of the end-of-year examination mark. The PAT is implemented across the first three terms of the school year. This is broken down into different phases or a series of smaller activities that make up the PAT. The PAT allows for learners to be assessed on a regular basis during the school year and it also allows for the assessment of skills that cannot be assessed in a written format, e.g. test or examination. It is therefore important that schools ensure that all learners complete the practical assessment tasks within the stipulated period to ensure that learners are resulted at the end of the school year. The planning and execution of the PAT differs from subject to subject. 2. TEACHER GUIDELINES 2.1 How to administer the practical assessment task (PAT) The PAT contributes 25% of the total promotion mark (400) in Grades 10–12. The practical assessment task contributes 100 marks and consists of a management overview (20 marks), practical activities (50 marks), a management test (20 marks) and a time register (10 marks). The design portfolio and final product must be available for monitoring and moderation, and must be evaluated, checked and authenticated by the teacher before being presented as the learner's final evidence of performance. The teacher file of the practical assessment task must contain evidence of: a) The PAT task b) A complete record of all assessment and must always be available for monitoring and moderation purposes Failure by the teacher to maintain a file of assessment tasks constitutes an act of misconduct and will be dealt with in terms of paragraph 5(3) of the policy document, National policy on the conduct, administration, and management of the National Senior Certificate: A qualification at Level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), or other appropriate measures. 2.1.1 The aim of the practical assessment task (PAT) for Agricultural Management Practices (AMP) is to assess management, entrepreneurial, research, marketing, operational and technical skills of learners in the production enterprises which they are exposed to.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Agricultural Management Practices 4 DBE/PAT 2021 NSC 2.1.2 In Grades 10–12 a total of at least THREE production enterprises must be utilised that would consist of at least ONE animal production enterprise or at least ONE plant production enterprise. 2.1.3 The context in which the subject is offered is subject to a wide range of different production systems, production enterprises, management approaches and ecological differences between the different regions in the country. The PAT must allow for this wide range of possible approaches and applications. 2.1.4 These PAT guidelines will provide criteria to assist with the standardisation of the variety of possible enterprises that exists in Agricultural Management Practices (AMP). 2.1.5 The PAT should show progression in complexity, content, and context from Grade 10 to Grade 12. 2.1.6 The PAT activities should link with the content of the relevant grades and practices as applied in the primary and secondary agricultural industry. 2.1.7 The PATs for Grades 10 and 11 are internally set, marked/assessed and moderated whereas the PAT for Grade 12 is internally set and marked/assessed and externally moderated. 2.1.8 The components of the PAT are completed under controlled conditions and evidence of each activity or task should be in the learner portfolio. 2.1.9 The PAT must include evidence of how the production-related processes in the different enterprises are managed over a period of a year. 2.1.10 Learners should know the assessment criteria before they start with each activity. 2.1.11 The use of external assessors (e.g. wool-classing, Artificial Insemination (AI) and shearing courses) for the practical section of the PAT will support the assessment done by the teacher. 2.2 Components of the PATs. The PATs in Grades 10–12 consist of the following components:  The management overview is based on the development of annual production plans for the management of the relevant enterprises  Practical tasks (activities) which are comprehensively assessed  The management test which consists of application questions, such as case studies and scenarios based on activities in the above management plans and practical for production enterprises  The logbook (time register) of time and task performed that the learner spent in a practical situation or production enterprise 2.2.1 Management overview This activity requires the learner to create/complete a production plan of the chosen production enterprise which includes the most important practices and management aspects within that production enterprise. It should be presented in calendar form or as a monthly report. This provides an overall impression of production processes as they are implemented over a period of a year or production cycle within the specific production system.

The activity could be in pairs or take place individually and would include research that should include the grade content expectation as indicated in the rubrics in ANNEXURE A. The management overview should preferably be within the learners' fields of interest. Grade 10 The basic production activities that would be included in an annual production plan for a plant production enterprise or an animal production enterprise must be listed. These activities could be described and an indication of a possible timeframe for each activity should be included.

The scenario could be compiled to show a timeline for the product shown by the production cycle. Challenges and successes must be listed, e.g. Code of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) as prescribed by each relevant industry. The assessment tool used for this activity could be a checklist, rubric or memorandum. 2.2.2 Practical tasks (activities) This section of the PAT for AMP must be completed under controlled conditions in an operational or practical situation. If the school does not have the proper facilities, appropriate production enterprise facilities nearby should be identified and used to complete the activities planned for at the beginning of the year. This part of the PAT focuses on the assessment of an individual learner while performing practical activities in both animal and plant production enterprises. At least TWO practical activities/tasks per term in the relevant production enterprises should be comprehensively assessed for Grade 10 and 11 learners (terms 1–3) and Grade 12 (terms 1–2). This part of the PAT assesses the performance of learners while they are involved in the activities/practical. Tasks should be set in real-life settings, e.g. milking cows, artificial insemination, inoculation, crop-care practices (spraying of crops, grafting, budding, monitoring of diseases and pests (scouting), planting, transplanting of seedlings, germination percentage, fertiliser application, mechanisation planning), care of animals (dehorning, castration, feeding, branding, marking, disease control, rearing of calves, etc.) and value-adding activities (tomato paste, yoghurt making, etc.), harvesting, classing, etc. These activities should be spread over the entire range of the enterprises and should not only focus on one aspect or enterprise.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Agricultural Management Practices 7 DBE/PAT 2021 NSC The practical activities are assessed, and on-site moderation should be completed, where possible. Evidence to support the assessment of the activities should be gathered for the final moderation. This should include photographs, pictures and/or video clips of these activities and assessment of the activities. Practical activities are related to the psychomotor domain which focuses on the physical and kinaesthetic skills that learners need to develop and demonstrate. These skills should be gradually developed by following the various levels as set out below. The development of the skills should be in the relevant production enterprises offered at the school. The affective domain which includes aspects such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasm, motivation, and attitude is also covered in this part of the PAT. The psychomotor domain for practical activity development is characterised by progressive levels of behaviour from observation to mastery of required skills. Assessment can only be done once learners have been given the opportunity to practice the required skills. LEVEL DEFINITION LEVEL DESCRIPTION 1. Observing Active mental attending of a The learner observes a more experienced person in physical event. his/her performance of the skill. Asked to observe sequences and relationships and to pay particular attention to the finished product. Direct observation may be supplemented by reading or watching a video. Thus, the learner may read about the topic and then watch a performance. 2. Imitating Attempted copying of a The learner begins to acquire the rudiments of the skill. physical behaviour. The learner follows directions and sequences under close supervision. The total act is not important, nor is timing or coordination emphasised. The learner is conscious of deliberate effort to imitate the model. 3. Practising Trying a specific physical The entire sequence is performed repeatedly. activity over and over again. All aspects of the act are performed in sequence. Conscious effort fades as the performance becomes more or less habitual. Timing and coordination are emphasised.

Key Verbs Below are some examples of key verbs associated with the cognitive domain. Using such verbs is beneficial for writing effective learning objectives when worksheets for the practicals are developed.  Collect, inject, calculate, mix, classify  Handle, operate  Distinguish (by sight, observation, touch, cognitive knowledge)  Perform (skilfully) Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Agricultural Management Practices 8 DBE/PAT 2021 NSC Using external assessors (e.g. wool-classing, AI and shearing courses) for this section of the PAT will support the assessment done by the teacher. The assessment of these activities would include a comprehensive checklist or rubric and could be supported with a questionnaire or interview, which is completed while performing this activity. The questionnaire and interview could assess the context and application of the learner who is assessed and could be marked with a marking guideline. 2.2.3 Management test The learners are exposed to various case studies or scenarios based on the annual production plan to which they have been exposed. The management test will represent examples of applications from the annual production plan and practical activities. These questions will be linked to the application of the knowledge. This activity or task will be completed under controlled conditions as an individual activity. The assessment tool for this activity could include a marking guideline (memorandum), checklist and rubric or a combination of these. Assessment of management test Grade 10 Management test is based on general issues in the production processes of animals and plants to which the learners have been exposed Grade 11 Management test is based on specific issues in the production processes of animals and plants to which the learners have been exposed Grade 12 Management test is based on specific issues in the agribusiness production processes and processing of relevant animal and plant production enterprises to which the learners have been exposed 2.2.4 Logbook (recording of time spent) The time that learners spend in a practical situation or at an active production enterprise should be recorded. These records should include time spent while doing tasks, gathering information, observing, evaluating, or demonstrating skills while in a practical situation. A list of the processes or activities to which the learners had been exposed should be included to indicate evidence of exposure to the major production activities that the available enterprises have to offer. This time should then be converted to a mark as percentage of the total time spent doing the required activities. Learners must spend at least 10 hours per term in a practical situation. Where possible, the time should be equally distributed between the production enterprises. Learners should be assessed on the time spent in these practical situations and on the complexity of their exposure. A checklist must be used for this purpose and the marks adjusted proportionally. These guidelines assist to provide the minimum standard for the PAT in AMP. More informal and more complex activities will be to the advantage of learners. Copyright reserved Please turn over

External moderation (subject specialist/subject advisor) This moderation should preferably be DONE ONCE A TERM. A calendar sent to the subject specialist reflecting the planned dates of assessment activities (PAT programme of assessment) will assist the moderator to plan ahead for such moderation sessions. The external moderator can identify certain learners to complete certain tasks during the final moderation process. External moderation (national panel) A panel of moderators appointed by the national Department of Basic Education will moderate the PATs and observe facilities and resources at the school. (See ANNEXURE A for moderation tool) Proof of PATs completed should be presented if required. 3. LEARNER GUIDELINES 3.1 Instructions to the learners Learners should know the assessment criteria before they start with each assessment task/activity.  The learners' tasks should be presented in the back of their portfolios, according to each required section, neatly divided with a partition.  If the learner starts with the subject in Grade 11 or 12, he/she should complete all the required tasks for the previous year(s).  There must be correlation between the work of Grades 10 to 12. Consecutive years' work need to be kept and filed under separate sections. 3.2 Examples of tasks in the various components of the PAT: 3.2.1 Management plan 3.2.2 Practical activity 3.2.3 Management test 3.2.4 Logbook/Time register Copyright reserved Please turn over

Brooder management is one of the important aspects of broiler rearing and management. The early developmental stage becomes critical for the overall result and growth of the bird. Hence, care should be taken right from day one. Effective brooding management includes providing the chicks with the right temperature, relative humidity, air quality, good quality feed and water. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Better management results in better productivity! You could be an experienced farmer or newly venturing into the poultry industry, but effective management is essential for the overall development and health of any animal production system. Hence, care should be taken from day one to achieve the following outcomes:  Clean, disinfect and fumigate the shed and equipment.  Check for the right temperature and humidity levels.  Ensure chicks have immediate access to fresh water and feed.  Use chick behaviour as an indicator of satisfactory temperature and air quality.  Replenish feed constantly during the brooding period.  Monitor and ensure chick feeding by crop fill scores. PRE-VIEWING ACTIVITIES: The environment in which the birds are reared is critical for their performance. In addition it would help if the farm is located closer to the production and marketing centres. A farm that has access to good roads and easy transportation has an added advantage. POST-VIEWING ACTIVITIES: Learners should be exposed to a real-life situation in managing a broiler house for a production cycle. During this activity, learners should keep records of various processes (like growth and food consumption rates, etc.) to determine the efficiency and the application of their knowledge. INTERESTING FACTS: Throughout the production cycle observe the batch for sick birds and conditions conducive to disease. Early diagnosis with prompt and adequate treatment will reduce death and production losses. Copyright reserved Please turn over

MANAGEMENT CALENDAR FOR A BROILER PRODUCTION SYSTEM (1–42 days) Week (Days) Production Cycle Working Procedure/Required Tasks Other Management Practices 1 (1–7) Chick arrival – farm preparation  Provide chicks with bio-secure, clean housing.  Control spread of disease by using single age, (i.e. all-in/all-out) housing.  Spread litter (bedding material) evenly. Chick placement  Preheat the house and stabilise temperature and humidity prior to chick arrival. 2 (8–14)  Unload and place chicks quickly.  Make feed and water available to the chicks immediately.  Arrange equipment so that chicks can reach feed and water easily.  Position supplementary feeders and drinkers near the main feeding and drinking systems.  Leave chicks to settle for 2 hours with access to feed and water. 3 (15–21)  Check feed, water, temperature, and humidity after 1 to 2 hours and adjust where necessary Feeding management Age Feed form and size 0–10 days Starter: sieved crumbs or mini pellets 11–24 days Grower: 2–3,5 mm (0,08–0,125 inch) diameter 4 (22–28) pellets or coarse grinded mash 25 days to processing. Finisher: 3,5 mm (0,125 inch) diameter pellets or coarse grinded mash Preparation for catching.  Allow 3 days on full light (23 hours light and 1-hour dark) to avoid problems during catching.  Appropriate feed removal from the birds will ensure that the digestive systems are empty before processing commences, limiting faecal contamination during transport.  Delay the removal of drinkers for as long as possible Copyright reserved Please turn over

The chicks should triple their birth weight by the 7th day and double that weight by the 14th day. It should 2 be 0,09 m per bird at 49 days (7 weeks).  Continuously remove damp or caked litter from the house and replace with new, dry litter.  Remove all dead birds from the house and burn or bury them.  Seek professional advice when symptoms of sickness and trouble appear.  In hot months, water consumption will increase so be prepared to fill non-automatic water fonts/drinkers regularly.  Keep accurate records of the number of birds, mortality (death), culls, amount of feed given and final weight. Special procedures The environment in which the birds are reared is critical for their performance. In addition, it would help if the farm is located closer to production and marketing centres. A farm that has access to good roads and easy transportation has an added advantage. When setting up a farm there is a set of must-have requirements to be adhered to:  Water availability throughout the year. Water quality: hardness below 750 ppm, pH 6,0 to 8,5.  Ventilated shed and waterproof.  Lighting, tube light @ 1 for every 35 m is essential. 2  Foot bath/Dip with disinfectant for better biosecurity.  Separate feed room near the shed with stacking arrangement for feed bags.  Water tank – 2 (1 for medication and 1 for drinking water) with capacity of 500 litres for 2 every 90 m .  Side curtain for the entire length of the shed for both sides, inside and outside.  Provide death pit for disposal of dead birds.  Provide for placing weighing scales 0,90 m x 0,90 m.

Brooder management is one of the important aspects of broiler rearing and management. The early developmental stage becomes critical for the overall result and growth of the bird. Hence, care should be taken from day 1. Pre-activities: Divide learner group into three subgroups. Each subgroup will be responsible for the duties required to feed, clean, and take care of the birds for the relevant period. Follow the daily routine for pen feeding strictly because that may influence your final mark. Remember you are responsible for the chickens if the task card is being completed. All feed needed should be weighed and recorded. All other tasks required in the section must also be performed. Daily and routine tasks: 1. Inspect the broiler house every day at the times allocated by the teacher. You may work out a timetable with two people in your group to be on duty at any time. That includes weekends and sport afternoons. 2. Place as much feed as is necessary in the trough, there should always be enough feed, but not so much that there is wastage and spoilage. 3. Record the amount of feed eaten. The easiest method is to record when a full bag is opened. Record the days used to fill feed hoppers and divide it into the mass of the full bag. That gives the amount of feed used/day. Record all data gathered on the given record sheet. 4. Remove wet bedding/litter in the broiler house daily as soon as it becomes soiled. 5. Weigh the birds every 3rd day and record data on your record sheet. Plot the data on a graph, calculate the daily gain, e.g. mass gain/feed period (days) = grams/day and feed conversion rate (FCR), e.g. feed given/mass gained = 1 kg feed used : kg meat gained. 6. Calculate the margin of cost of feed over the value of mass gain. Also calculate the slaughtering % of the birds once slaughtered. 7. Report any problems or sickness to the teacher in charge and indicate it on the record card. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Agricultural Management Practices 26 DBE/PAT 2021 NSC 3.3 Absence, non-submission of tasks and non-participation in practical activities The PAT forms 25% of the total promotion mark for the learner. Learners should complete all assessment activities that form part of the final PAT. Any failure to adhere to this will result in a mark that is calculated pro rata from the assessment sections and pieces available. The absence of marks for the practical assessment task in Grades 10–12, without a valid reason, will result in the candidate registered for that particular subject receiving an incomplete result. The candidate will be given three weeks before the commencement of the final end-of-year examination of the relevant grade to submit the outstanding practical assessment task. Should the candidate fail to present the practical assessment task the candidate will be informed that he/she did not meet the minimum requirements and that he/she must repeat the subject the following year. 3.4 Requirements for presentation All proof of assessment should be presented in the learner's subject portfolio under its own division for PAT. The management overview for Grades 11 and 12 should be presented in the Grade 12 portfolio to show continuity. Proof in the form of photographs showing the learner's involvement during the activities will support the final PAT mark. 3.5 Timeframes Each school is unique regarding resources available and management. Each learner should receive a planned activity calendar at the beginning of the year informing them when certain activities should be executed/completed.

Agricultural Management Practices Downloaded from hlayiso.com 32 DBE/PAT 2021 NSC ANNEXURE B MARKING OF THE PAT USING A RUBRIC The following rubrics may be useful to determine the mark allocation for the learners. NOTE: When using rubrics and ratings the following should be taken into consideration: For example, in this 4-level rating:  Level 4 is the Standard of excellence level. Descriptions should indicate that all aspects of work exceed grade level expectations and show exemplary performance or understanding. This is a 'Wow!'.  Level 3 is the Approaching standard of excellence level. Descriptions should indicate some aspects of work that exceed grade level expectations and demonstrate solid performance or understanding. This is a 'YES' achieved!  Level 2 is the Meets acceptable standard. This level should indicate minimal competencies acceptable to meet grade level expectations. Performance and understanding are emerging or developing but there are some errors and mastery is not thorough This is a 'On the right track, but ...'.  Level 1 is the Does not meet acceptable standard yet. This level indicates what is not adequate for grade level expectations and indicates that the learner has serious errors, omissions or misconceptions. This is a 'No, but …'. The teacher needs to make decisions about appropriate intervention to help the learner improve. Copyright reserved Please turn over
