Downloaded from hlayiso.com Consumer Studies 2 DBE/PAT 2018 NSC (Production of Soft Furnishing Articles) THE PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT TASK FOR CONSUMER STUDIES PRODUCTION OF SOFT FURNISHING ARTICLES 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 for the Production of Soft Furnishing Articles the learner must demonstrate his/her knowledge and practical ability/skills to produce soft furnishing articles focusing on suitability for selling. • The practical assessment task for Consumer Studies, Production of Soft Furnishing Articles 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 article selected for the micro-enterprise used for the project in term 1. o Term 3: Practical examination 2 Learners will complete the article started in practical examination 1. 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 practical examinations as indicated below: Practical examination 1: term 2 (includes layout and cutting) 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. Both mark sheets must be signed by the teacher, principal and moderator. Copyright reserved Please turn over

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT TASK Consumer Studies is a choice subject with five practical options. If the school chooses to offer Consumer Studies as a subject and selects the Soft Furnishings practical option, the equipment and funds necessary to conduct the PAT are the responsibility of the school as specified in the CAPS document. (See p 11) Ensure the following: • A suitable classroom with the necessary equipment must be available: large tables for cutting out; two or more ironing boards and irons; cutting-out scissors (one for each learner); equipment for measuring and marking. • 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. • Divide the learners into groups with a maximum of 12 learners. 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 will need 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 the examination. 4. REQUIRED TIME FRAME • Layout and cutting is done beforehand in a ONE-HOUR session under examination conditions. • A time frame 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 test and examination timetable in the second term. • Learners will make the article that has been selected for their micro- enterprise (project term 1). The production process, workmanship and saleability of the articles form an important aspect of the examination. • Teachers must buy a commercial pattern for an article that can be completed in 6 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 an article that can be completed in 7 hours (one-hour layout and cutting out, practical examination 1 and practical examination 2); OR o Use the same commercial pattern used in the practical lessons and remake the same article once more in 7 hours (one-hour layout and cutting out, practical examination 1 and practical examination 2). • The article selected should have a minimum skills-code weighting of 100 points. • The techniques to be completed per practical examination should have a total skills-code weighting of 50 points.
