Downloaded from hlayiso.com Consumer Studies 2 DBE/PAT 2015 NSC (Production of Knitted and Crocheted Items) THE PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT TASK FOR CONSUMER STUDIES PRODUCTION OF KNITTED AND CROCHETED 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 knitted and crocheted articles focusing on suitability for selling. • The practical assessment task for Consumer Studies for Grade 12 consists of two practical examinations of eight hours each. o Term 2: Practical examination 1 Learners will crochet/knit the article selected for the micro-enterprise used for the project in term 1. o Term 3: Practical examination 2 Learners will knit/crochet the article. 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 2 100 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
