Downloaded from hlayiso.com Mechanical Technology 3 DBE/2021 Examination Guidelines 1. INTRODUCTION The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for Mechanical Technology outlines the nature and purpose of the subject Mechanical Technology. This guides the philosophy underlying the teaching and assessment of the subject in Grade 12. The purpose of these Examination Guidelines is to:  Provide clarity on the depth and scope of the content to be assessed in the Grade 12 National Senior Certificate Examination in Mechanical Technology.  Assist teachers to adequately prepare learners for the examinations. This document deals with the final Grade 12 external examinations. It does not deal in any depth with the school-based assessment (SBA), performance assessment tasks (PATs) or final external practical examinations as these are clarified in a separate PAT document which is updated annually. This guideline should be read in conjunction with:  National Curriculum Statement (NCS) Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS): Mechanical Technology  National Protocol of Assessment: An addendum to the policy document, the National Senior Certificate: A qualification at Level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), regarding the National Protocol for Assessment (Grades R–12)  National policy pertaining to the programme and promotion requirements of the National Curriculum Statement, Grades R–12 These guidelines should be used in conjunction with the content outline per term and Section 4 of the CAPS document for Grade 12 Mechanical Technology specialisation. The duration of the final examination paper will be 3 hours with a maximum mark of 200. Summative assessment (examinations) will cater for a range of cognitive levels and abilities of learners.
