1. INTRODUCTION
The 18 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements 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-the-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 Practical Assessment Task (PAT) for 2021
The aim of the PAT is to teach learners to solve technological problems in the
agricultural environment by making use of critical, innovative and 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 at the beginning of Term 4 of Grade 11
in order to allow the teacher and learner to do planning in advance.
The following is a scenario and a complete layout of the example model that can be
used as the PAT for 2021.
SCENARIO:
A farmer needs a builder's trestle that can be used when erecting game farm fences
and also when painting hard-to-reach areas on the farm.
Design a practical builder's trestle that can be used effectively in this situation.
The piece of equipment 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.
The builder's trestle must not 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 administer the PAT
This PAT document must be used by the teacher as a guideline on 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 product. 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.

Agricultural Technology 5 DBE/PAT 2021
NSC
The practical assessment task in Grade 12 is externally set, internally assessed and
externally moderated. The PAT 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 PAT is
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. The reason for this is that the teacher
must identify design flaws for the learner to correct.
The design portfolio and the final product 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 that must always be available for monitoring
and moderation purposes
The design portfolio and final product must be available for monitoring and moderation
at the school during the entire school year.
External moderation will be done by the respective provincial moderators and the
National Department of Basic Education (DBE). 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 PAT 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' time before the commencement of the final end-of-
year examination to submit the outstanding PAT. Should the candidate fail to present
the PAT, 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 in 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 in 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 by each
learner before final moderation.
The design portfolio should include evidence of how the development of the
product was approached, as indicated below.

2.3.2 Phase 2: Manufacturing process
Learners start constructing the actual model at the beginning of February
during Term 1 of 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 noted 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 models for assessment by the middle of Term 3. 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 attached rubrics.
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 has been
assessed and approved by the teacher, he/she can commence with Phase 2. 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 be
continuously assessed by the teacher when the different skills are applied. The
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 by 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.
