1. INTRODUCTION
The 16 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) 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, which 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 also allow for the assessment of skills that cannot be
assessed in a written format, e.g. test or examination. It is therefore important for
schools to ensure that all learners complete the PAT 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 2018
The aim of the PAT is to teach learners to solve technological problems in the
agricultural environment by making use of critical, innovative thinking skills.
The PAT comprises a design component, manufacturing component and a final
product. The PAT leads the learner to be able to design and develop the product
according to technological processes.
Schools will be informed of the Grade 12 project in the fourth term of Grade 11
of the previous academic year in order to allow the teacher and learner to do
planning in advance.
The following is a scenario and complete layout of the example model that can
be used as PAT for 2018

Agricultural Technology 4 DBE/PAT 2018
NSC
Scenario:
A farmer needs a fire bowl that he can use to make a fire in when he wants to
hot brand the cattle for identification purposes. Design a fire-proof bowl that can
effectively be used in this situation.
The fire bowl must be versatile in order to be used in various circumstances or
conditions. It must be light, simple and easy to handle, but sturdy enough to
carry heavy loads. It must not easily topple over when used.
Make use of 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 administrate the PAT
This PAT document must be used by the teacher as a guideline of how the PAT
must be done. The learner must design and plan the whole PAT individually with
guidance from the teacher. The teacher will only provide the learners with the
problem statement. Ideally, 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, the PAT must comply with
the prescribed standards set by this PAT guideline document. This will include
evidence of the design portfolio, work procedure, rubrics and the evidence of the
final project. The criteria and format for assessing 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 given criteria as stated on
pages 46-47 in the Agricultural Technology Curriculum and Assessment Policy
Statement (CAPS).
The model should have functional value and must be usable 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 completed under controlled
conditions and is assessed by means of rubrics.
The promotion mark of Agricultural Technology consists of a PAT component of
100 marks (25%), a school-based assessment (SBA) component of 100 (25%)
marks and a final examination component of 200 marks (50%).

Agricultural Technology 5 DBE/PAT 2018
NSC
Before a learner can commence with the manufacturing process, the design
portfolio must be completed and assessed by the teacher. The reason for this is
that the teacher must 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 it is 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 and must always be available for
monitoring and moderation purposes.
The design portfolio and final project must be available for monitoring and
moderation at the school during the entire school year.
External moderation will be done by 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 a
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'
time 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 the candidate 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, evaluate and
communicate a solution to the problem or need. The evidence of this
phase will be located in the design portfolio which will start at the
beginning of the last term of grade 11 and continue to the end of
January, Grade 12. In this phase the learner must be encouraged to be
creative and show initiative.
A Declaration of Authenticity (ANNEXURE D) must be completed for
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, 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

2.3.2 Phase 2: Manufacturing process
Learners start constructing the actual model at the beginning of
February during Term 1 in Grade 12 or as soon as a learner has
finished with the design portfolio and it has been approved by the
teacher. From here the learner commences with Phase 2. The model
must be completed by the middle of term 3 in Grade 12.
The learner is expected to do the manufacturing of 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 it must be
remembered that the model must adhere to the minimum number of
skills as prescribed by the subject CAPS document.
Continuous assessment must be undertaken by the teacher during the
manufacturing process to evaluate and assess certain skills and
processes with the aid of the given rubric.
2.3.3 Phase 3: Final product
Learners submit the model for assessment by the end of the third term.
The planning done in Phase 1 (design portfolio) must 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. Each phase must be assessed by the
teacher with the aid of the given rubric.
• The design portfolio must be completed and marked not later than the
end of the first term. As soon as a learner is finished with the design
portfolio and has been assessed and approved by the teacher,
he/she can commence with phase two. The teacher must use the
rubric ANNEXURE A to assess the design portfolio.
• The manufacturing process is a continuous process and the various
skills must continuously be assessed by the teacher when the
different skills are applied. The given rubric, ANNEXURE B must be
used.
• The final product must be evaluated and assessed according to the
rubric, ANNEXURE C.
• ANNEXURE D is a Declaration of Authenticity and must be
completed for each learner.
• ANNEXURE E must be used by the teacher to ensure that the
Agricultural Technology workshop and facility is up to standard for
external moderation.

Step 1
Cut the four sections of tread plate for the fire bowl [A] according to Week
the dimensions shown above. Use an angle grinder and metal-cutting 4–7
disc. Cut the square hollow tube the right lengths. Mitre each end of
the four lengths that will form the bowl-cradle pieces [B]. Cut
accurately or your mitres won’t fit tightly together.
Step 2
Using scraps, build a wooden frame that measures 612 mm on the Week
inside to serve as an assembly jig for the fire bowl. Position the four 8–10
bowl sides top-down in the frame so that they all rest together. Run a
weld bead down each of the joints.

Step 3
Use a steel square to accurately position the four mitred lengths of Week
25 x 25 mm tube that will make up the cradle for the fire bowl. Once 11–14
the four pieces are properly aligned and square, weld them together.
Step 4
Before moving on to the next step, use an angle grinder outfitted with Week
a grinding wheel to smooth the welds at the corners of the bowl 15-19

Step 7
Cut a 162 mm square section of metal mesh. Place over the bottom Week
of the fire bowl; weld it in place. (By cutting the mesh just a tiny bit 28-29
oversize, you’ll have metal to work with as the ends of the mesh melt
during the welding process.) Grind smooth any remaining welds;
clean the entire assembly with mineral spirits and then paint it with
Rust-Oleum High Temperature spray. You can also leave it
unfinished and your fire bowl will develop a nice patina of rust as it
weathers.
Testing
• Test for functionality, durability and strength. Week
• Make adjustments if necessary. 30
• Test again for proper functioning.
Finishing
• Remove sharp edges with a file or angle grinder. Week
• Sand all surfaces with sanding paper. 31
