INTRODUCTION The 17 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements 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, Technical Sciences  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 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. Practical assessment tasks are designed to develop and demonstrate a learner's ability to integrate a variety of skills in order to solve a problem. The PAT also makes use of a technological process to inform the learner what steps needs to be followed to derive a solution for the problem. The PAT consists of four or more simulations and a practical project. The teacher may choose any one of the practical projects and any four simulations available for power systems. The teacher must apply assessment on an ongoing basis at the same time that the learner is developing the required skills. Four simulations should be completed by the learners, in addition to the manufacturing of a practical project. The PAT incorporates all the skills the learner has developed throughout the year. The PAT ensures that all the different skills will be acquired by learners on completion of practical work, as well as the correct use of tools and instruments. Requirements for Presentation A learner must present the following:  PAT file with all the evidence of simulations, design and prototyping. A copy of the PAT 2020 cover page. The relevant simulations and assessment sheets should be copied and handed to each learner to include in the file.  Practical project with: o Enclosure:  The file must include a design.  The enclosure and the design must match.  No cardboard boxes are allowed.  Plastic and metal enclosures are acceptable.  The enclosure should be accessible for scrutiny inside.  Lids that are secured with screws are preferred. Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Electrical Technology: Digital Electronics 4 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC o Circuit board:  The file should include the PCB design.  The PCB must be mounted inside the enclosure in such a manner that it can be removed for scrutiny.  Switches, potentiometers, connectors and other items must be mounted.  Wiring must be neat and bound/wrapped.  Wiring must be long enough to allow for the PCB to be removed and inspected with ease. o Logo and name:  The file should contain the logo and name design.  Logo and name must be prominent on the enclosure. The PAT will have a financial impact on the school's budget and school management teams are required to make provision to accommodate this particular expense. PAT components and other items must be acquired timeously, for use by the learners, before the end of the first term at the start of the academic year. It is the responsibility of the HOD to ensure that the teacher is progressing with the PAT from the start of the school year. Provincial departments are responsible for setting up moderation timetables and consequently PATs should be completed in time for moderation. 2. TEACHER GUIDELINES 2.1 How to Administer PATs Teachers must ensure that learners complete the simulations required for each term. The project should be started in January in order to ensure its completion by August. In instances where formal assessments take place, the teacher has to assume the responsibility thereof. The PAT should be completed during the first three terms and must be ready at the start of PAT moderation. Teachers must make copies of the relevant simulations and hand it to learners at the beginning of each term. The PAT must not be allowed to leave the workshop and must be kept in a safe place at all times when learners are not working on it. The weightings of the PAT must be adhered to and teachers are not allowed to change weightings for the different sections. 2.2 How to Mark/Assess the PATs The PAT for Grade 12 will be set and assessed internally, but moderated externally. All formal assessment will be done by the teacher. The teacher is required to produce a working model and model answer file that sets the baseline for assessment at a Highly Competent Level for every project choice exercised by the learners. This file must include all the simulations with answers the teacher has done him/herself. The teacher will use the model answers and project to assess the simulations and projects of the learners. Once a facet sheet has been completed by the teacher, assessment will be deemed to be complete. No re-assessment will be done once the facet sheets have been completed and captured by the teacher. Learners must ensure that the work is done to the required standard before the teacher finally assesses the PAT during each stage of completion. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Electrical Technology: Digital Electronics 6 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC 2.4 Moderation of PATs Provincial moderation of each term's simulations will start as early as the following term. Simulations 1 and 2 should be moderated as soon as the second term starts. Similarly, Simulations 3 and 4 will be moderated in July. The project will, however, only be moderated on completion. During moderation of the PAT the learner's file and project must be presented to the moderator. The moderation process is as follows:  During moderation, learners are randomly selected to demonstrate the different simulations. All four simulations will be moderated.  The teacher is required to build an exemplar model for each project type chosen for the school.  This model must be on display during moderation.  The teacher's model forms the standard of the moderation at Level 4 (Highly Competent).  Level 5 assessments must exceed the model of the teacher in skill and finishing.  Learners who are moderated will have access to their files during moderation and may refer to the simulations they completed earlier in the year.  Learners may NOT ask assistance from other learners during moderation.  All projects and files must be on display for the moderator.  If a learner is unable to repeat the simulation or cannot produce a working circuit during moderation, marks will be deducted and circuits assessed as not being operational.  The moderator will randomly select no fewer than two projects (not simulations) and the learners involved will have to explain how the project was manufactured.  Where required, the moderator should be able to call on the learner to explain the function and principles of operation, and request the learner to exhibit the skills acquired through the simulations for moderation purposes.  On completion the moderator will, if needed, adjust the marks of the group upwards or downwards, depending on the outcome of moderation.  Normal examination protocols for appeals will be adhered to, if a dispute arises from adjustments made. 2.5 Absence/Non-submission of Tasks The absence of a PAT mark in Electrical Technology without a valid reason: The learner will be given three weeks before the commencement of the final end-of-year examination to submit outstanding task. Should the learner fail to fulfil the outstanding PAT requirement, such a learner will be awarded a zero (0) for that PAT component. Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Electrical Technology: Digital Electronics 7 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC 2.6 Simulations Simulations are circuits, experiments and tests/tasks which the learner will have to build, test and measure and practically do as part of the development of practical skills. These skills have to be illustrated to the external moderator that visits the school at intervals during the school year. Teachers who make use of simulation programs on a computer may use it for the learners to practice on. However, it is required that the circuit be built using real components and that measurements be made with actual instruments for the purposes of assessment and moderation. The correct procedure for completing simulations is outlined below for teachers and school management teams who are responsible for the implementation of the PAT in Electrical Technology. STEP 1: The teacher will choose simulations from the provided examples. STEP 2: Compile a list of the components needed for every simulation. Add extra components as these items are very small and you will need extras, as these items get lost/damaged very easily when learners are working with it. STEP 3: Contact three different electronics component suppliers for comparative quotations. STEP 4: Submit the quotations to the SMT for approval and procurement of the items. STEP 5: Place the components in storage. Collate items for each simulation, thus making it easier to distribute and use during practical sessions. Ensure that different values of components do not mix, as this would lead to components being used incorrectly and this could damage the component and in extreme cases, the equipment used. STEP 6: Copy the relevant simulations and hand them out to learners at the start of the term. Teachers are allowed to adjust circuits and component values to suit their environment/ resource availability. Teachers are required to develop a set of model answers in the teacher's file. Moderators will use the teacher's model answers and artefacts when moderating. 2.7 Projects The projects are construction projects teachers can choose for their learners. These projects are based on proven circuits provided from schools and subject advisors. The projects are based on working prototypes and require careful construction in order for it to operate correctly. Projects are varied in cost and teachers must ensure that the projects chosen fall within the scope of the school's budget. Once the teacher has decided on a circuit, he/she must construct the prototype. Thereafter, copies of the provided circuit can be made and distributed to learners. They MUST redraw these circuits in their file correctly. The description of the operation of the circuits is NOT complete. It is required of learners to interrogate the function of the components in the provided circuit. They should elaborate on the purpose of components in the circuit. It is recommended that those learners investigate similar circuits available on the internet and in the school library or workshop reference books. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Electrical Technology: Digital Electronics 46 DBE/PAT 2020 NSC 6.2 Practical Project (Digital Electronics): Cellphone detector Cellphones are widely used in the world. While people have to be connected to one another, there are situations or places where the usage has to be prohibited, either due to security reasons or because it may be a health hazard. Cellphone detection has been under investigation for a long time. There are techniques that have been formulated or proposed on how to detect cellphones. Most of them use features such as the audio system, RF system and common materials of the cellphone to try and look into how it can be used to detect mobile phones. This project utilises the RF system of the cellphone as the feature to detect its presence. A circuit that detects signals of the range 0,9 GHz to 3 GHz is used to detect a cellphone when in use. When the signal is detected, an LED blinks to indicate the usage of a cellphone within a radius of 1,5 metres. It is therefore a reality that mobile usage in some places must be prohibited. Due to the privacy laws that limit the use of cellphone jammers, cellphone detectors must be designed and installed so that in case a person gets into such places with a cellphone, they can be notified and either be told to switch it off or to remove it. The effectiveness of cellphone detectors is that they continually scan for the presence and usage of cellphones and sound an alarm to notify the user or security personnel. This project is limited to the detection of a cellphone that is in use: on call, communication via SMS and internet access. The detection of cellphones that are on standby mode, switched off or on airplane mode will not be included in this project.
