INTRODUCTION The 18 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which consist of practical components 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; Technical Mathematics  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 conducted up to the end of September. The PAT allows for learners to be assessed on the skills they have acquired during the weekly practical lessons and the practical examinations in Grades 10 to 12. It also allows for the assessment of skills that cannot be assessed in a written format, e.g. tests or examinations. It is therefore important that schools ensure that all learners complete the practical assessment task 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 quality articles focusing on workmanship and suitability for selling.  The practical assessment task for Consumer Studies Grade 12, with the Clothing practical option, consists of a layout and cutting session and a practical examination of FOUR (4) HOURS.  Breakdown of FOUR (4) hours: o Layout and cutting session: ONE-HOUR session (prior to the practical examination) o Learners should be able to complete this garment within the prescribed time of THREE (3) hours  Learners will perform the practical examination for the PAT individually.  The practical examination for the PAT takes place in Term 3. 2. MARK ALLOCATION  The total mark allocation of the PAT is 100 marks.  The marks for the PAT form part of the end-of-the-year assessment in Term 4.  The province will provide two separate computerised mark sheets, one for SBA and one for the PAT.  The mark allocation is indicated as follows: Layout and cutting session 6 Practical examination 94 Final mark for PAT 100 Copyright reserved Please turn over

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS Consumer Studies is an elective 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 weekly practical lessons, are the responsibility of the school as specified in the CAPS document on page 10. The school has the responsibility to ensure the availability of the following for the PAT examination:  A suitable classroom with the necessary equipment: 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 R80 to a maximum of R150 per learner is required to make the prescribed article, besides the funding required for the SBA weekly practical lessons.  The number of learners per session must correlate and align to the number of sewing machines that are available.  It is important to adhere to the Covid-19 protocol of social distancing.  Divide the learners into groups of a maximum of 12 learners per session. Twenty-four learners (two groups of 12 learners each) 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 this practical examination. 4.

CONCLUSION On completion of the practical assessment task, learners should be able to demonstrate their understanding of the industry, enhance their knowledge, skills, values and reasoning abilities as well as establish connections to life outside the classroom and address real-world challenges. The PAT furthermore develops learners' life skills and provides opportunities for learners to engage in their own learning. Copyright reserved
