Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 3 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC 1. INTRODUCTION The 17 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 • 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. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 4 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC 2. GUIDELINES 2.1 What is the PAT? The PAT (practical assessment task) is an individual research project that involves extended independent work. It provides an opportunity for you to demonstrate the skills you have acquired in the subject in terms of your: • Research and information management skills; and • Ability to use software applications and technologies to produce quality outputs. You will be provided with a very broad topic/scenario (see 2.3 – The topic) on which to base your PAT. You have to: • Analyse the broad topic/scenario and decide which issue best aligns with your interests and where you believe you can find most data; • Provide a short description of the problem and the task; • Produce a single, clear, researchable focus question that will guide you through the task; • Produce a set of high-quality questions in order to begin and guide you through the investigation; • Search for, identify and evaluate possible sources of information to answer the questions you have formulated; • Gather quality information from the sources you have identified; • Set up a survey/questionnaire in order to gather data related to the task; • Design and create a spreadsheet and database which reflect the management, processing and analysis of data and information; • Create a report regarding your investigation with information that has been sifted, evaluated and summarised to present your findings; and • Design a simple website that conveys information about the topic you investigated and your findings. The PAT will be done in THREE phases over the first THREE terms of the Grade 12 year: Phase 1: Define the task and find, access and evaluate information needed to complete the task Phase 2: Process data and information Phase 3: Present information, solution, findings and conclusions Your teacher will provide you with dates and deadlines for each phase. These are determined by the provincial and district structures of the education department. In the absence of a valid reason, non-compliance with the dates set could lead to you not being awarded the marks for the particular phase. Valid reasons for not timeously completing the phases of the PAT include the following: • Illness, supported by a valid medical certificate issued by a registered medical practitioner • Humanitarian reasons, which include the death of an immediate family member, supported by a death certificate • Your appearance in a court hearing, which must be supported by written evidence • Any other reason as may be accepted as valid by the head of the assessment body or his/her representative Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 5 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC NOTE: The three phases are designed to ultimately combine to produce a word-processed report and a website that contain your findings and conclusions. Each phase therefore 'feeds' into the next phase. The development of the final report starts in Phase 1 and is added to and refined as you complete the phases. It is therefore critical to view the task as a series of linked tasks, so you need to picture or 'imagine' what your final 'product' or report will look like and manage your time appropriately. 2.2 Mark allocation NOTE: The PAT counts 25% of your final Grade 12 mark for CAT. It is therefore crucial that you strive to produce work of a high standard. PHASE FOCUS MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE Phase 1 Find and access data and information 32 18% Phase 2 Process data and information 44 24% Phase 3 Present information/solution 84 47% General Observation and overall evaluation 20 11% TOTAL 180 100% NOTE: The final PAT mark is a compulsory component of the final certification mark (100) for all candidates registered for Computer Applications Technology. Carefully read and take note of the sections referring to 'Dishonesty' (2.7) and 'Non-compliance' (2.8). CAT subject experts could moderate your PAT and a sample could be quality assured by Umalusi. The 'General' section (observation and overall evaluation) will be completed after you have submitted Phase 3. It will, however, not only be based on the resultant products, but also on observations of how you worked and conducted yourself throughout the full duration of the PAT in terms of your: • Attitude, commitment and work ethic; • Effort; • Independent working skills; • Organisational skills; and • Producing professional work. NOTE: You need to complete and hand in any outstanding work for the PAT at least three weeks before the final CAT practical examination. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 6 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC 2.3 The topic TOPIC – SAVE OUR PLANET It is evident that human beings waste or exhaust natural resources, which is harming our planet. Global warming, caused by human activity, is rapidly changing our climate and environment. What we consider as normal daily living seems to be disturbing the delicate balance of our planet. We are a threat to our own existence and that of future generations. Examples of threats to our planet include: • Plastic waste crisis • Extinction of certain species (marine life, animals, etc.) • Pollution (water, air, noise, etc.) • Fossil fuel consumption • Overpopulation • Loss of rain forests/Deforestation • Human causes of global warming Your task is to: • Identify a specific cause that can help towards saving the planet. o Examples of causes to help save the planet include:  Eliminate plastic waste  Recycling campaigns  Save endangered species/Conserve marine life, animals, etc.  Reduce/Control pollution (water, air, noise, etc.)  Discontinue the use of fossil fuels  Reduce the harmful effect of overpopulation  Preventing deforestation • Investigate a current related problem in the world at international, national, provincial or local level • Gather and analyse data relevant to the investigation • Identify possible factors that contribute to the problem or solutions related to the cause you choose • Identify a suitable audience (such as a school, your local community forums, provincial or business leaders) to whom you can present your research and findings in a report that would be suitable for use by the specific audience Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 7 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC • Investigate how this topic affects the community in terms of: o The existing problems and challenges faced o Community involvement in the solution to the problem o Looking at (partial) solutions for individuals, institutions such as schools or hospitals, companies, government, etc. NOTE: You may choose one of the causes above OR you may choose a cause that falls within the broad topic 'Save our planet'. You are NOT allowed to choose topics linked to 'Saving electricity' or 'Saving water'. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 9 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC 2.6 What you will need to complete the PAT To complete the tasks, you will need: • An office suite with the following software: o Word processing software o Spreadsheet software o Database software • An HTML editor (e.g. Notepad++) and a web browser (e.g. Edge, Chrome or Firefox) • Internet access to: o Find data and information o Administer electronic questionnaires, e.g. use e-mail to send questionnaires to respondents and receive completed questionnaires from respondents • Access to other sources such as printed media (e.g. magazines, newspapers, brochures, textbooks) or other electronic material (e.g. e-books, e-articles) • Access to facilities to convert hard copies to electronic documents, e.g. scanner, digital camera, smartphone • Storage media to store and backup your work electronically, e.g. flash drive, rewritable CD/DVD 2.7 Dishonesty Since the PAT is an individual project that is part of your final promotion mark, you may NOT: • Get help from others without acknowledging this help; • Submit work which is not your own; • Lend your PAT work to other learners; • Allow other learners to access or use your own material (this does not mean that you may not lend books to or borrow books from another learner, but you may not plagiarise other learners' research); • Include work directly copied from books, the internet or other sources without acknowledgement and recognition; and • Submit work typed or word processed by another person. The above actions constitute dishonesty, for which you will be penalised. 2.8 Non-compliance You will be given the opportunity to submit any outstanding work for the PAT as outlined in national and provincial documentation. NOTE: The absence of a PAT mark for CAT, without a valid reason, will mean that you will not receive a result for CAT at the end of Grade 12. This could influence the publication of your final Grade 12 results. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 10 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC 2.9 Preparation 1. Ensure that you understand the information management content, such as: • What a task definition is and how to formulate one • How to formulate a focus question • How to formulate research questions • Different types of information sources • How to evaluate information sources • What a questionnaire is and how to compile one • How to use application packages to process data and information • How to reference information and not commit plagiarism when compiling your report 2. Choose an issue/threat based on the overall topic of 'Save our Planet' and do some pre- reading regarding the issue/threat before you start with Phase 1 to gain background knowledge about the issue/threat. 3. It could be helpful to complete a K-W-L-S chart after your pre-reading. See ADDENDUM E. 4. Follow the instructions for each phase, create the documents requested and save them in the appropriate folders. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 11 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC 2.10 Instructions for Phase 1 The purpose of this phase of the PAT is to first create a suitable and logical electronic folder structure in which to store your work, and then to: • Determine what the problem is and what needs to be done – get 100% clarity; • Decide what the focus of your investigation will be; • Decide what data and information you will need for the project; • Determine where the information (sources) could be found; • Locate, evaluate and summarise the quality and relevance of information found in appropriate sources and add it to the report; and • Begin to design the structure and layout of the final word processing report to be completed in Phase 3. Create a suitable folder structure 1. Create an appropriate (electronic) folder structure in which to store your work as follows: • Create a main folder (your teacher may require you to name this in a specific way). • Within the main folder, each phase must have its own subfolder (you can/will add more subfolders to organise the work done in the different phases). • The names of the folders and files that you will store in them should be meaningful. NOTE: • All the documents that you create and the evidence that you collect must be saved in the appropriate folders. • The documents and folders must be organised in such a way that it is easy to navigate and find information. • It is your responsibility to ensure that you keep a backup copy of all your work at all times. Create a report Now start the report that will be used as the final product to communicate your findings and conclusions. Don't worry if you are unfamiliar with some of the 'headings'; you are simply putting together a 'skeleton' template or structure at this stage. You will add content (and other headings) to this report document throughout the course of the three phases of the PAT. 2. Create a word-processed report that contains the following: • A cover page A professional-looking, well-structured, custom-made cover page using appropriate content controls in order to add: o Your name and surname o The name of your school o The subject name and the PAT topic o A content control for the abstract Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 12 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC • An automatic table of contents • Headings You need to add the following provisional headings: Table of Contents, Table of Figures, Introduction, Task Definition, Focus Question, Discussion and Analysis, Findings, Conclusion, Bibliography and Appendices. NOTE: Some headings will not have any content until Phase 2 or 3. • An addendum under the heading Appendices you created in your report with a diagram or a screenshot showing the folder structure, including any subfolders, used for Phase 1. Give it a suitable heading such as 'Folder Structure' and paste the diagram or screenshot in this addendum. • An addendum with the declaration of authenticity that will be used during all the phases. HINTS: • Apply the word processing skills you have learnt to produce a professional document. While you will only be formally assessed on these aspects after completing your report in Phase 3, take note now of the style guide in ADDENDUM B of this document. This will save you a lot of time and effort at a later stage. • Save the report in a suitable subfolder in your 'Phase 1' folder. Define the task To show that you understand why you are conducting this investigation, you must be able to define, in your own words, what you will investigate and what you are required to do (±300 words or half a page in font size 12 pt. as a guideline). This is called the task definition. 3. Your description should be added under the heading Task Definition (added in the previous section) and it must: • Provide a clear statement of the problem (current situation) and the purpose of the investigation (desired outcome) – why you are doing this investigation; • Indicate the focus of your investigation, i.e. give an overview of which of the aspects will be investigated and covered; • Specify in broad terms how you will approach the task (study the requirements of the PAT and indicate how you intend to collect the data and information, manipulate it, etc.); and • Identify the target audience for the final report that will be drafted. Considering the guidelines above, use the following questions to help you write your own task definition: • What is the current situation and the purpose of the investigation (desired outcome)? • What will be the focus of my investigation? • How will I go about the investigation considering all the PAT requirements? • Who is the target audience? Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 13 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC NOTE: Keep in mind that (in the long-term) when choosing your issue/threat you will also need appropriate data and information (including a survey/questionnaire) which can be: • Processed using a spreadsheet • Saved and manipulated using a database – to create queries and reports Determine the focus question To manage and complete the task, you must have a clear focus. 4. Considering the issue/threat you have chosen and the requirements of the PAT, you need to set the focus for your investigation. To do this, you must set/ask ONE question (the focus question), which must clearly reflect what the main focus of your investigation will be. The 'answer(s)' to this question form(s) the 'solution' to the problem that will be reflected in your final report. This question should be added under the heading Focus Question (added in the previous section) and needs to be: • A single sentence (not two questions or a paragraph) • Clearly phrased, concise and researchable and must describe exactly the focus of the investigation within the broader issue/threat • Clearly relevant to/be the focus point of the chosen issue/threat Ask questions that will guide your investigation To solve the problem and answer the focus question, you need to ask more questions to help you find appropriate data and information. 5. First create a new addendum under the heading Appendices you created in your report. Give it a suitable heading such as 'Questions and Sources Table' and create the following table (see also ADDENDUM D): No. QUESTION QUESTION LEVEL CATEGORY TYPE OF BIBLIOGRAPHICAL QUALITY OF SUMMARY OF (1, 2, 3, 4) SOURCE INFORMATION INFORMATION INFORMATION FOUND FOUND 1 … … ... … … … … 10 Figure 1: Example of Questions and Sources table TIP: It might be useful to place this addendum in landscape format. NOTE: You will fill in the required information in the various columns in this table as you progress through Phase 1. 6. Read the focus question that you asked and need to answer. The focus question should guide you in identifying additional quality questions that will help you to find the data and information that you need. In other words, what else do I need to find out (and that I do not know) BEFORE I start this task? The K-W-L-S chart in ADDENDUM E may help in this regard. Copyright reserved Please turn over

It must show at least THREE of the FOUR different levels of thinking as follows: LEVEL TYPE OF LEVEL OR QUALITY OF QUESTION  Provide facts (who, when, where, what, how many, etc.)  Give direction to the investigation (why, how, etc.) Support predictions or help with any changes, alternatives or variations (what if,  if, etc.) Support your judgement or help to evaluate, critique, review or find meaning  (would it be better if, what recommendation, what would be best, etc.) Figure 2: Levels of questions NOTE: Fill in the questions (at least 10) and the level of each question in the source table, making sure that your (minimum of) TEN (10) questions collectively represent at least THREE of these FOUR different types/levels. 8. Review your questions and categorise/group them under at least THREE categories. This is so that the information you gather in answer to these questions is logically grouped together. Add the category into which each question falls, e.g. 'Problem' or 'Solution', to the table. An example of a possible extract from this table (with the relevant details added) is shown below. NOTE: These categories will become headings, later in Phase 3. Some examples: Background: Where in the country can one find potholes? Problem: Why aren't potholes fixed properly the first time? Impact: What are the long-term consequences of potholes on vehicles? Costs: What is the average cost of repairing damage caused by potholes? Solution: What can citizens do to help solve the pothole problem?

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 20 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC 2.11 Instructions for Phase 2 The purpose of this phase of the PAT is to: • Design, create and administer a suitable questionnaire/survey to gain relevant insights from respondents in terms of the task; and • Create and use a suitably designed database and spreadsheet to analyse the data from the questionnaire/survey. Creating and conducting a questionnaire To collect data and information that you may not find in other sources or to support data or information in other sources, you need to create an electronic questionnaire. It needs to be skilfully and appropriately designed to ensure the easy and appropriate answering of questions, as well as accurate importing/capturing and processing of data and information. 1. The questions in the questionnaire should help you to gather data/information from people (i.e. data/information not likely to be found in other sources, e.g. opinions, preferences). Brainstorm some topics whereby you can get feedback from people through a questionnaire regarding your specific focus question (from Phase 1), such as the following: • What are the general attitudes/concerns of the public regarding the specific cause? • What actions could people take to assist with the cause? • How are people in your community affected by the cause you have chosen? • How would one raise awareness and promote responsible decision-making? 2. Think of the options available to you in terms of how you are going to administer the questionnaire for at least 25 respondents, trying to reach a cross-section of people in terms of age, gender, etc. This can be done by: • Creating a questionnaire in a word processor and either e-mailing it (or placing a link online) or get different people in your school to answer them (saved under different file names). Note that the questionnaire must be created in a word processor first to be handed in (even if it is ultimately going to be conducted online). • Printing and distributing copies of the questionnaire; OR • Creating an online version of the questionnaire you created using a word processor or by using an online tool such as an editable PDF document, Google Forms or SurveyMonkey, etc. 3. Formulate at least 5 questions, excluding biographical data (e.g. name, gender, age, address), as follows: • Ensure that all the questions are relevant and provide answers to questions that cannot be found in other sources. • Try to create questions where people can choose an answer from a list of possible answers (i.e. closed questions) as the responses to this type of question are often easier to record and process.

Design the layout of the questionnaire while bearing the following in mind: • It must suit the way in which it will be administered, e.g. use content controls/form fields to enable respondents to complete the questionnaire electronically and for you to easily save the data/information. • The questionnaire should be easy to interpret, with appropriate headings and clear instructions for users. • Related questions should be grouped together under relevant headings. • It must consist of a maximum of one page. • You need to use professional formatting and layout (e.g. appropriate word processing) techniques. • It is a good idea to get other learners to 'test' your survey to see whether it is easy. Remember that you should have 25 respondents. You need to store the completed questionnaires in an appropriate folder under Phase 2. In the case of an online survey, the results of these surveys must be downloaded and stored in an appropriate folder under Phase 2. • Hard-copy questionnaires also need to be stored safely, preferably by scanning them and saving them in electronic format. Process and analyse data in a spreadsheet You now need to process and analyse all data (questionnaire data, as well as other data, such as costs saved by recycling, etc.) that may require the use of a spreadsheet and worksheets within the spreadsheet. 5. Create a spreadsheet with a meaningful file name and save it in an appropriate subfolder in the Phase 2 folder. 6. Capture/Import/Copy the data from your questionnaire to this spreadsheet, as well as any possible data you sourced in Phase 1 that you need to process. Ensure that: • Only relevant, appropriate data is added/captured • Relevant, appropriate data, other than the questionnaire/survey data, is added • There are no processing errors/error indicators (formatting errors or inconsistencies) in the data 7. Design and format the spreadsheet with a good, user-friendly layout so that it is easy to read and interpret the data using appropriate formatting techniques: • Make sure the row and column headings/labels stand out, e.g. that they are formatted differently to other data • Use consistent colour, borders, wrapping and styles to format the spreadsheet • Ensure that the formatting makes it easy for anybody to interpret the data/results 8. Use filtering or sorting as needed on the data, as well as formulas and/or functions to process data and answer any data-related questions posed in Phase 1 (at least ONE from EACH level given on the next page).

Create a database with a meaningful file name and save it in an appropriate subfolder in the Phase 2 folder. 13. You need to create a table to store data relevant to the tasks (e.g. from the survey and other sources you identified in Phase 1) as follows: • At least one table must be created. • All fields must have appropriate, meaningful names. • All fields must have appropriate data types and formatting. • Make sure that all fields contain single data units (e.g. separate fields for Name and Surname). 14. Use of appropriate components/properties to ensure/promote accurate data capturing where appropriate, as follows: • All text fields must be set to appropriate sizes. • There must be at least one appropriate/meaningful validation rule and validation text. • There must be at least one appropriate/meaningful list/combo box. • There must be at least one appropriate/meaningful input mask. 15. Capture/Import/Copy at least 20 relevant records into the table. Ensure that: • Only relevant, appropriate data is added/captured • There are no formatting errors or inconsistencies in the data 16.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 25 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC Hand-in for Phase 2 Once you have completed Phase 2 of the project: 19. Submit a copy of your entire PAT folder to your teacher. The following should be in your Phase 2 folder:  The original questionnaire you designed  A minimum of 25 completely answered questionnaires, stored in an appropriate folder under Phase 2. Hard-copy questionnaires also need to be safely stored. Consider scanning them and saving them in electronic format for safekeeping.  The completed spreadsheet with the analysis of the data, including graphs  The completed database with relevant queries and report(s)  Your updated report with your graphs added under the Findings section Copy the report from this phase (Phase 2) to the relevant Phase 3 folder. NOTE: Your teacher will give you the date on which to submit your Phase 2 work for assessment. If you are unable to meet the deadline set, you will need to provide a valid reason. 2.12 Instructions for Phase 3 The purpose of this phase of the PAT is to: • Interpret data and information, combine and remix the information to show your own understanding and insight and to answer the focus question; • Complete the report by using good word processing principles and techniques; and • Create a website using HTML that takes into consideration appropriate layout, readability and other usability issues. Report In order to communicate the knowledge and insight that you have gained, as well as the recommendations/solutions to the problem, you need to continue working on the report that you created in Phases 1 and 2 and add your findings and solutions. Use the data and information from Phase 2 and the understanding and insight that you have gained through your investigation to complete the report. Your report should, as a guide, consist of approximately 1 600–2 000 words (content only, excluding cover page, table of contents, references and graphics). Your report needs to be, as a guide, 6–10 pages long with the following sections: • A cover page • An introduction • Discussion and analysis • The findings and conclusions • Any appendices that are needed Suitable headings must appear in these sections. The categories, created in Phase 1, now become headings. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 26 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC 1. Copy the report from Phase 2 to the relevant Phase 3 folder (if not done already). 2. Note that over and above any specific instructions below, you need to apply the word processing skills you have learnt to produce a professional document. Take note of the style guide in ADDENDUM B and the notes on referencing below: Referencing • Using the information in Phase 1, add an automatically generated reference list/ bibliography using the features of your word processor. Ensure that sources used are referenced clearly and appropriately. • All the information you need should be found in the (summary) documents you created in Phases 1 and 2. • Any graphics from other sources must be acknowledged clearly and appropriately. • Automatic, appropriate captions must be inserted correctly for all tables/figures. • Make sure that you do not plagiarise and use citations and/or footnotes appropriately using a referencing style such as Harvard or APA. NOTE: Your report must be written in your own words, except where information is correctly cited/acknowledged). You will be heavily penalised if you copy and paste large sections of text directly from the internet or any other source. Plagiarism is completely unacceptable. Be original and creative. 3. Complete the cover page. • You should have added a cover page in Phase 1. Ensure that you have a professional- looking, well-structured cover page using appropriate content controls with: o Your name and surname o The name of your school o The topic you chose • Now add a meaningful abstract/extract in a suitable content control. An abstract is a brief summary (3–4 lines as a guideline) of the contents of the report. After reading the abstract, readers should be aware of the content of the report so that they can see, at a glance, whether or not they wish to read the full report. Note that the abstract is not an introduction to, but rather an overview of the content and purpose of the report and should include the findings very briefly. TIP: You are advised to re-check your abstract after you have completed the report. 4. Add an automatic table of contents and table of figures. • Add a provisional, automatically generated table of contents and table of figures once you have decided on the styles you are going to use for your headings. • Remember to update these tables once you have completed the report. 5. Write your introduction. • Give a clear overview and focus of the original problem. • Cleary state the focus and purpose of the investigation, pointing out which aspects you investigated. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 27 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC • Make sure you do not add any additional, unnecessary information. TIP: Consider your task definition and focus question when compiling your introduction but do not simply use them verbatim. 6. Discussion and analysis • You already have some headings added to your report but you may need to add additional headings and subheadings to the report as this will allow you to group the relevant information together in a logical fashion. • Add information from Phases 1 and 2 (summaries, questionnaire, spreadsheet and database) and all information/data/graphics (tables, graphs, charts, pictures) as needed. Make sure the data and information added are relevant to the investigation. • Adding hyperlinks: o Hyperlinks/Bookmarks must be used to navigate to other websites and external documents, e.g. the spreadsheet and database from Phase 2. o Hyperlinks to these external data/information sources must be easy to locate and recognise/'understand'. 7. Formulate your findings. • You need to formulate as least THREE appropriate claims, arguments or findings that are appropriate and relevant to the investigation (as guided by your focus question). • All these claims, arguments and findings must be: o Supported by relevant, appropriate data/information and a meaningful explanation of how or why the evidence supports these findings o Drawn from information presented in the report and address the original problem statement/focus in light of the evidence presented 8. Formulate your conclusion(s) Your conclusion(s) must: • Be meaningful and logical • Address the original problem statement/focus in light of the evidence presented The conclusion(s) should NOT contain new information that is not researched. 9. Once you have completed the report, do a final check in terms of the formatting and references covered in point 2 and remember to update the tables of contents and figures. Website In order to share the knowledge and insight you have gained with a broader audience, you need to create a website. This will serve as a 'summarised, visual' version of your report. Do not simply repeat the entire report in HTML format. 10. Create a website with a home page linked to at least TWO other web pages. Save it in the relevant subfolder in your Phase 3 folder, using meaningful file names. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Computer Applications Technology 28 DBE/PAT 2019 NSC 11. Your website should include at least the following: • A title • An introduction • A functional navigation system • Good quality information about the topic/your investigation, that is factually correct. The information should be well structured, using appropriate principles and techniques, such as headings, paragraphs, lists, horizontal lines, etc. • Hyperlinks to other good quality information, where appropriate. These could also be the websites that you identified in Phase 1 as potential sources of information. 12. Ensure that your website is well laid out, readable and has a consistent appearance. It should be easy to skim/scan the website and to find important information. 13. Different elements/parts of the pages must be clearly distinguishable. 14. Graphics/Images should be relevant to the topic or purpose of the website, enhance understanding, display correctly and be of a high quality. They must be appropriately sized and cropped. It should also take into account visually impaired users. 15. Use good Standard English and ensure there are no spelling or grammar mistakes. 16. Acknowledge information and graphics used from other sources appropriately. Hand-in for Phase 3 Once you have completed this phase of the project, submit a copy of your entire PAT folder to your teacher: The following should be in your Phase 3 folder:  The word processing report you completed in this phase  The website you created in this phase (home page linked to at least two other web pages), together with any resources needed for the website (graphics, etc.) NOTE: You also need to complete and hand in the final declaration (ADDENDUM C).

Headings • The font used should be easy to read, e.g. Cambria or Calibri. • The font size should vary between 12 pt. to 18 pt. • Ensure that headings stand out clearly from other text. • Use heading styles where appropriate to ensure that headings are formatted in a consistent way. Analysis and discussion • Use a font that is easy to read and that is the same as the heading font or matches the heading font, e.g. Cambria or Calibri. • Do not use more than two different font types. • Use appropriate word spacing and basic punctuation (i.e. one space after a full stop and comma). • Font size should not be larger than 12 pt. and not smaller than 10 pt. • Ensure that different paragraphs are clearly distinguished. • Use appropriate word processing principles and techniques to create white space and enhance readability (e.g. line and paragraph spacing). • Ensure that all body text is formatted in a consistent way. Using styles would help to ensure consistency. • Body text should be distinguished from headings. • Body text should be left aligned. Paragraph formatting • Use appropriate and consistent line and paragraph spacing throughout. • Ensure there are no 'empty' paragraphs. • Ensure that all text in the body is left-aligned. Page layout • Use word processing functions to add page numbers. • Use page/section breaks to start new pages/sections, e.g. Appendices. • Use lists where appropriate to enhance readability. • Use sufficient white space. • Tables, graphs and other graphics should have appropriate captions. General formatting and editing • Keep it simple – this is not an art or design competition – it is the quality of the report and content that matter. • Check the spelling and grammar of your document.
