Downloaded from hlayiso.com Consumer Studies 2 DBE/PAT 2016 NSC (Production of Clothing Items) THE PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT TASK FOR CONSUMER STUDIES PRODUCTION OF CLOTHING ITEMS 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) 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. • During the practical assessment task the learner must demonstrate his/her knowledge and practical ability/skills to produce garments focusing on suitability for selling. • The practical assessment task for Consumer Studies for Grade 12 consists of a layout and cutting session (part of practical examination 1) and two practical examinations of three hours each. Learners perform these practical examinations individually. o Term 2: Practical examination 1 (plus layout and cutting session) Learners will make half of the garment selected for the micro-enterprise for the project in term 1 in practical examination 1. o Term 3: Practical examination 2 Learners will complete the garment started in practical examination 1. 2. MARK ALLOCATION • Each exam consists of 100 marks. The mark for the final practical assessment task is obtained by combining the marks for the two exams as indicated below: Practical examination: term 2 (includes layout and cutting) 100 Practical examination: term 3 100 Total 200 ÷ 2 Final mark for PAT 100 • The marks for the PAT are part of the end-of-the-year assessment. • The province will provide two separate computerised mark sheets, one for SBA and one for the PAT. After the marks have been captured both mark sheets must be signed by the teacher, principal and moderator. Copyright reserved Please turn over

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS Consumer Studies is a choice subject with five practical options. If the school chooses to offer Consumer Studies as a subject and selects the clothing practical option, the equipment and funds necessary to conduct the PAT, as well as the specified number of practical lessons is the responsibility of the school as specified in the CAPS document. Ensure the following: • A suitable classroom with the necessary equipment must be available: large tables for cutting out; a minimum of 12 sewing machines; two overlockers; two or more ironing boards and irons; cutting-out scissors (one for each learner); electricity and equipment for sewing and making garments. • A minimum of R30 to a maximum of R75 per learner for EACH of the two practical examinations is required to make the required articles, besides the funding required for the SBA practical lessons. • Divide the learners into groups of a maximum of 12. Twenty four learners (two groups of 12 learners) can perform the examination on the same day, e.g. from 08:00 to 11:00 and from 12:00 to 15:00. • The teacher needs time between the two sessions to prepare the classroom for the following group. • Schools with large numbers of learners will need more than one day to complete this examination. 4. REQUIRED TIMEFRAME • Layout and cutting is done beforehand in a ONE-HOUR PERIOD under examination conditions. • A timeframe of 3 HOURS in total is required per examination (excluding the one- hour layout and cutting session before practical examination 1). 5. SETTING THE EXAMINATIONS 5.1 Practical examination 1 (term 2) • This practical examination must be slotted into the examination timetable in the second term. • Learners will complete half of the garment selected for their micro- enterprise (project term 1). The production process, workmanship and saleability of the garments form an important aspect of the examination. • The teacher must identify and select ONE suitable garment for the micro-enterprise (project in term 1). The learners will make this garment during practical examination 1 and practical examination 2. • The teacher must buy a commercial pattern for an article that can be completed in SIX hours with the skills learners gained during the practical lessons for SBA in Grades 10 and 11. • Teachers have TWO options when selecting the pattern for the practical examinations: o Buy a commercial pattern for a garment that can be completed in 7 hours; OR o Use the same commercial pattern used in the practical lessons and remake the garment once more in 7 hours. • The article should carry a total weighting of 100 points on the skills- code list. • The techniques to be completed per examination should have a total weighting of 50 points for each PAT task.
