Downloaded from hlayiso.com Mechanical Technology 3 DBE/PAT 2017 NSC 1. INTRODUCTION The 16 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 • SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism • TECHNOLOGY: Civil Technology, Electrical Technology, MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY and Engineering Graphics and Design A PAT allows the teacher to directly and systematically observe applied competence. The PAT comprises the application/performance of the knowledge, skills and values particular to the subject and counts 25% (100 marks) of the total promotion/certification mark out of 400 for the subject. The PAT is implemented across the first three terms of the school year. It is broken down into different phases or a series of smaller activities that make up the PAT. Any profession requires a thorough grounding in both practice and theory of its members and Mechanical Technology is no exception. It is emphasised that the goal of the practical assessment task is not to produce a skilled craftsperson but a Mechanical Technology learner in the broadest sense. A nation's true wealth is in its manpower and education should aim to develop the talents of the learner so that he/she can contribute to the well-being of society by using scientific and technological resources with the greatest efficiency and by continuing to develop them. To prepare a Mechanical Technology learner for one or more of these activities, his/her education should develop in him/her: • An attitude where the learner can selectively assimilate ideas, gather evidence and facts, draw logical conclusions and put them to good use creatively and with imagination • A capability to express ideas and information clearly by speech, writing, sketching or drawing • A willingness and capability to accept and exercise responsibility, to make decisions, and to learn by experience Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Mechanical Technology 4 DBE/PAT 2017 NSC Attributes such as these cannot all be achieved in a classroom. A sound knowledge of engineering science is essential to equip the Mechanical Technology learner with the necessary practical capabilities for the required processes. There is no substitute for acquiring the feeling of making things on the shop floor. Training in the art of making things is the essential bridge between trade theory and trade practice. Practical application in the workshop must therefore be made an interesting and challenging experience, mentally and physically, encouraging the learner to use his/her initiative, curiosity and persistence to find out things for himself/herself. Learning by watching should be kept to a bare minimum. Giving some degree of responsibility during practical application is very important as a stimulus and to develop self-confidence. The first three phases of PAT must not be confused with the capability task (Phase 4) during workshop practice sessions. 2. TEACHER GUIDELINES 2.1 Administration of the PAT Teachers are requested to make copies of the different phases and the assessment criteria of the PAT document. These documents must be distributed to the learners at the beginning of the year. The practical assessment task for Grade 12 is externally set and moderated, but internally assessed. Teachers must attach due dates for the different phases of the PAT task (refer to the CAPS document). In this way learners can easily assess their progress. When formal assessments take place it is the responsibility of the teacher to administer assessment. The PAT (all phases) should be completed in the first three terms. The PAT should be completed under controlled conditions (refer to the Mechanical Technology CAPS Grade 10–12). 2.2 Assessment of the PAT Frequent and developmental feedback is needed to guide and support the learner to ensure that he/she is on the right track. Both formal and informal assessment should be conducted in the different phases that constitute the PAT. Informal assessment may be conducted only to monitor progress of the phase in which the learners are engaged. Formal assessment should always be conducted by the teacher and must be recorded.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Mechanical Technology 5 DBE/PAT 2017 NSC 2.3 Moderation of the PAT During moderation of the PAT the phase tasks (phases 1–4) will be presented to the moderator with the assessment criteria and marks obtained. Where required the moderator should be able to call on the learner to explain the function and principles of operation and also request him/her to demonstrate the skills acquired through the capability tasks for moderation purposes. On completion the moderator will, if necessary, adjust the marks of the group up or downwards depending on the decision reached as a result of moderation. 3. GUIDELINES/INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LEARNER 3.1 Instructions to the learner • The practical assessment task (PAT) consists of four phases, one per term during terms 1 to 3. Phase 4 must be started in term 1 and completed in term 3. • All phases must be completed. In phase 1 learners have to manufacture a cross-peen hammer head. The handle will be manufactured in phase 4 (terms 1 to 3). • Learners are required to actively engage in all practical assessment tasks. • Learners who are uncooperative will receive demerits or a zero mark allocation for that particular section of the work. • Learners who act in an unsafe manner in the workshop and endanger other learners will be removed from the workshop and given additional corrective tasks to improve their safety awareness.

ABSENCE/NON-SUBMISSION OF TASKS If a learner's practical assessment task is incomplete or unavailable for a valid reason, the learner will be given three weeks before the commencement of the final end-of-year examinations to submit the outstanding task. Should a learner fail to fulfil the outstanding PAT requirement such a learner will be awarded a zero (0) for that PAT component. A learner's results are regarded as incomplete if he/she does not offer any component of the PAT task. He/She will be given another opportunity based on the decision of the Head of the Assessment Body. Should the learner fail to fulfil the outstanding PAT requirement, the marks for these components will be omitted and the final mark for Mechanical Technology will be adjusted for promotion purposes in terms of the completed tasks. 5. TIMEFRAMES January: Phase 1: Start the manufacturing task (terminology) Phase 4: Although Phase 1 task the hammer head forms part of the Phase 4 PAT, it will only be assessed once, in Term 1 for 50 marks. March: Phase 1: Complete the manufacturing task at the end of Term 1 April: Phase 2: Start the welding task (joining) Phase 4: Project under construction June: Phase 2: Complete the welding task at the end of second term July: Phase 3: Start the maintenance task Phase 4: Project under construction August: Phase 3: Complete the maintenance task at the end of third term Phase 4: Complete at the end of Term 3 Copyright reserved Please turn over
