1. INTRODUCTION
The 16 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
• SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism
• TECHNOLOGY: Civil Technology, Electrical Technology,
Mechanical Technology and Engineering Graphics
and Design
A practical assessment task (PAT) 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. tests or examinations. 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 Practical Assessment Task (PAT) for 2017
The aim of the PAT is to teach learners to solve technological problems in the
agricultural environment by using critical, innovative and thinking skills.
The PAT comprises a design component, manufacturing component and a
final product. The PAT leads the learner to design and develop the product
according to technological processes.
Schools will be informed of the Grade 12 project at the beginning of term 4 of
the Grade 11 year to allow the teacher and learner to do planning in advance.
A scenario and complete layout of the example model that may be used as
the PAT for 2017 are given on the next page.

SCENARIO
Personal safety is very important in every workshop or farm situation where
physical labour is used to do practical work. Serious injury of farm workers can
be prevented by using relevant equipment when removing fence posts from the
ground.
Design [Z1] a piece of equipment that can effectively be used to remove steel
fence posts that are difficult to remove from the ground. The piece of equipment
must be versatile in order to be used in various circumstances or conditions. It
must be light, simple, durable and easy to handle but sturdy enough to carry
heavy loads.
The piece of equipment must be foldable and must not take up much storage
space.
Use various technological processes to help you in the design and
manufacturing of this piece of equipment e.g. planning, investigation, research
and various practical skills.
2.2 How to administer the PAT
This PAT document must be used by the teacher as a guideline to do the
PAT. The learner must design and plan the entire PAT individually with the
teacher's guidance. The teacher will provide the learners with the problem
statement only. The idea is that all the learners should have different PAT
designs. The teacher must evaluate the learner's design for practicality and
make suggestions before the learner submits the final design portfolio.
If the school/learners decide to do an alternative PAT, that PAT must comply
with the prescribed standards set out in this PAT guideline document. This will
include evidence of the design portfolio, work procedures, rubrics and
evidence of the final project. The criteria and format to assess the design
portfolio, manufacturing process and final product must be the same as that of
the prescribed PAT.
The project must consist of at least SEVEN of the criteria given on pages 46
and 47 of the Agricultural Technology Curriculum and Assessment Policy
Statement (CAPS).

NSC
The model should have functional value and should be suitable for use in
real-life farm and workshop situations. The learners should be familiar with
the assessment criteria before they start with the task. The PAT must be done
under the supervision of the designated teacher.
The practical assessment task in Grade 12 is set externally, assessed
internally and moderated externally. The project is completed under controlled
conditions and is assessed by means of a rubric.
The promotion mark of Agricultural Technology consists of a PAT component
of 100 marks (25%), a school-based assessment (SBA) component of
100 marks (25%) and a final examination component of 200 marks (50%).
The PAT contributes 25% of the total promotion mark (400) in Grade 12. The
practical assessment task counts 100 marks and consists of a design portfolio
(25 marks), a manufacturing process (50 marks) and the final product (25
marks).
Before a learner can commence with the manufacturing process, the design
portfolio must be completed and assessed by the teacher. This done so that
the teacher can identify design flaws for the learner to correct.
The design portfolio and final project must be available for monitoring and
moderation. The PAT must be evaluated, checked and authenticated by the
teacher before being presented as the learner's final evidence of
performance.
The teacher's PAT file must contain evidence of:
(a) The PAT task
(b) A complete record of assessment that must always be available for
monitoring and moderation purposes.
The design portfolio and the project must be available at the school for
monitoring and moderation during the entire school year.
External moderation will be done by the respective provincial moderators and
the national Department of Basic Education. No learner is allowed to take
his/her project home before external moderation has been completed.
Failure by the teacher to maintain a record of the assessment of the PAT is
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.
The absence of marks for the practical assessment task in Grade 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 to
submit the outstanding practical assessment task. Should the candidate fail to
present the practical assessment task he/she will be informed that he/she did
not meet the minimum requirements for promotion and that he/she must
repeat the subject the following year.

2.3 Phases in the development of the PAT project
The project should be completed over the following three phases:
2.3.1 Phase 1: Design Portfolio
Learners must identify the problem or need in their chosen project.
He/she must also investigate the project, generate ideas and arrive
at possible design solutions to make or produce the model, to
evaluate it and to give a solution for the problem/need. The
evidence for this phase will be placed in the design portfolio which
can be started at the beginning of term 4 of the Grade 11 year and
continues to the end of January of the Grade 12 year. In this phase
the learner must be encouraged to be creative and to show
initiative.
A Declaration of Authenticity (ANNEXURE D) must be completed
by each learner before final moderation.
The design portfolio should include evidence of how the
development of the product was approached, as indicated below:
• Analysis and planning of the assignment
• Relationship between technology and society and environment
• Sketches, diagrams or calculations
• Materials used
• Tools used
• General safety rules that are applicable
• Comparisons of processes and tools to be used
• Cost calculations and material list
• Knowledge and skills needed in the manufacturing process
• Manufacturing processes that were followed
• Planning of time from the start to the final product
• Research or investigations undertaken
• Any other information that is relevant to the project

2.3.2 Phase 2: Manufacturing process
Learners start constructing the actual model at the beginning of
February, in term 1, or as soon as a learner has finished the design
portfolio and it has been approved by the teacher. The learner then
commences with Phase 2. The model must be completed by the
middle of term 3 in Grade 12.
The learner is expected to manufacture the model in the school's
workshop, under close supervision of the teacher. Processes not
performed by the learner cannot be assessed as part of the
learner's work.
The model must include a number of practical skills, but remember
that the model must adhere to the minimum number of skills, as
prescribed by the subject CAPS document.
Continuous assessment must be done by the teacher during the
manufacturing process to evaluate and assess certain skills and
processes with the aid of the rubric attached (ANNEXURE B).
2.3.3 Phase 3: Final product
Learners submit the models for assessment by the end of term 3.
The planning done in phase 1 (design portfolio) should also be
submitted for assessment of the final product. For final assessment
the model must be completed and fully functional. The final product
must correspond with the planning in Phase 1.
2.4 Criteria and guidelines for PAT assessment
The PAT consists of three phases. The teacher must assess each phase with
the aid of the rubrics attached.
• The DESIGN PORTFOLIO must be completed and marked not later than
the end of term 1. As soon as a learner is finished with the design
portfolio and it has been assessed and approved by the teacher, he/she
may commence with phase 2. The teacher must use the rubric on
ANNEXURE A to assess the design portfolio.
• The MANUFACTURING PROCESS is a continuous process and the
various skills must be assessed continuously by the teacher when the
different skills are applied. The rubric on ANNEXURE B must be used.
• The FINAL PRODUCT must be evaluated and assessed using the rubric
on ANNEXURE C.
• ANNEXURE D is the Declaration of Authenticity and must be completed
by each learner and the teacher.
• ANNEXURE E must be used by the teacher to ensure that the
Agricultural Technology workshop and facility is up to standard for
external moderation.
• ANNEXURES F and G are examples of mark sheets that may be used.
