Downloaded from hlayiso.com Consumer Studies 2 DBE/PAT 2018 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 practical examination 1. o Term 3: Practical examination 2 Learners will knit/crochet the article in practical examination 2. 2. MARK ALLOCATION • Each examination consists of 100 marks. The mark for the final practical assessment task is obtained by combining the marks for the two examinations as indicated below: Practical examination 1: term 2 100 Practical examination 2: 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 Knitting and Crocheting practical option, the equipment and funds necessary to conduct the PAT, as well as the specified number of practical lessons are the responsibility of the school as specified in the CAPS document. Ensure the following: • A suitable classroom with the necessary equipment must be available: tables; two or more ironing boards and irons; scissors (one for each learner); equipment for measuring and marking and equipment for knitting and crocheting. • A minimum of R80 to a maximum of R100 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. • A number of learners can do the examination simultaneously according to the number of workstations and resources available to complete the examination comfortably. 4. REQUIRED TIME FRAME • A timeframe of 8 HOURS in total is required per examination. • Each examination will be conducted in TWO sessions of FOUR hours each, with a minimum 30-minute break after two hours OR a school may decide to spread the eight hours over TWO DAYS OF FOUR HOURS PER DAY with a 30-minute break after two hours. 5. SETTING THE EXAMINATIONS 5.1 Practical examination 1 (term 2): Crochet PAT • This practical examination must be slotted into the test and examination timetable in the second term. • Learners will crochet the article that has been selected for their micro-enterprise (project in term 1). The production process, workmanship and saleability of the articles/products form an important aspect of the examination. • The teacher must identify and select ONE suitable pattern for the micro-enterprise (project term 1). The learners will crochet this article during practical examination 1. • Teachers have TWO options when selecting the pattern for PAT 1: o Buy a commercial pattern for an article that can be completed in 8 hours with the skills learners gained during the practical lessons for SBA in Grades 10 and 11; OR o Use the same commercial pattern used in the practical lessons and remake the same article once more in 8 hours. • The article selected should have a minimum skill-code weighting of 100 points. • Learners should start and complete the article in practical examination 1. • The article selected must be made in 8 hours, demonstrating all the advanced techniques identified for Grade 12. • After 8 hours learners should hand in their articles for final assessment.
