1. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
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: MECHANICALTECHNOLOGY, Civil Technology, Electrical
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.
The 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
that subject and counts 25% 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.
Any profession requires of its members a thorough grounding in both theory and practice and
MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY is no exception. It is emphasized that the goal of the practical
assessment task is to produce a skilled learner in each specialisation field. A nation's true
wealth is in its manpower and education that should aim to develop the talents of a learner so
that he/she can contribute to the well-being of the society by using and developing scientific
and technological resources.
To prepare a learner in MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY'S specialisation fields, one must
focus on the following:
An attitude where the learner can selectively use ideas, gather evidence and facts, to
drawing logical conclusions to put them to good use creatively and with imagination;
A capability to express ideas and information clearly by speech, writing, drawing and
manufacturing and
A willingness and capability to accept and exercise responsibility, to make decisions, and
to learn by experience.
Attributes such as these cannot all be achieved in a classroom. A sound knowledge of
engineering sciences is essential to equip the MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY learner with
the necessary practical capabilities for the required processes. Practical training is the
application of acquiring essential skills to bridge between trade theory and practice.
Practical application in the workshop must therefore be made an interesting and challenging
experience to develop the learner physically and mentally. The learner must show his/her
initiative, curiosity and persistence in learning. In order to stimulate and develop self-
confidence the granting of some degree of responsibility during the practical application is
very important.

2. TEACHER GUIDELINES
2.1 Administration of the PAT
Teachers are requested to make copies of the different specialisation PAT documents.
These documents need to be handed out to the learners at the beginning of the year. The
Practical Assessment Task for Grade 12 is externally set, internally assessed and externally
moderated.
Teachers must attach due dates for the different facets of the PAT (refer to the CAPS
document). In this manner, learners can easily assess their progress. Instances where formal
assessments take place, it is the responsibility of the teacher to administer assessment.
The PAT should be completed within the first three terms. The PAT should be completed
under controlled conditions (refer to Mechanical Technology SPECIALISATION: CAPS
Grade 10–12).
2.2 Assessment of PAT
Frequent and developmental feedback is needed to ensure necessary guidance and support
to the learner.
Both formal and informal assessment should be conducted to ensure that the embedded
skills are developed. Informal assessment can be conducted only to monitor progress of the
learner. Formal assessment should always be conducted and recorded by the teacher.
2.3 Moderation of PAT
The tasks, projects, assessment criteria as well as the mark sheets must be presented to the
moderator during moderation of the PAT.
The moderator should be able to call on a learner to explain and demonstrate the functions,
principles and skills during the 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.
2.4 Consequences of absence/non-submission of tasks.
If a learners' practical assessment task is incomplete or unavailable with valid reason, the
learner may be given three weeks before the commencement of the final end-of-year
examination to submit the outstanding task. Should the learner fail to fulfill the outstanding
PAT requirement, such a learner will be awarded a zero mark 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 fulfill the outstanding PAT requirement, the
marks for these components will be omitted and the final mark for Mechanical Technology

3. LEARNER GUIDELINES
Instructions to the learner
The practical assessment task (PAT) consists of a specialisation task in Fitting and
Machining. The practical work is spread over three terms, as set out in this document.
(See CAPS document.)
All tasks must be completed according to the time frames set out in each of the tasks.
Learners are requested to actively engage in all practical assessment tasks.
Learners who are uncooperative will receive demerits or a zero mark for that particular
section of the work.
Learners who act unsafely in the workshop and place other learners in danger, will be
given additional corrective tasks to improve their safety awareness.

5. 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.
