1. GUIDELINES FOR THE TEACHER
1.1 The structure of the PAT for Civil Technology
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 the
technological process outlined in Learning Outcome 2, to guide the learner on which steps
need to be followed to arrive at a solution for the problem at hand.
The PAT is based on investigations, simulations and the application of skills, knowledge
and principles acquired by the learners that will cover the technological process in the
building environment.
The Practical Assessment Task consists of two components: the design portfolio which
makes up 25% of the PAT and the product or model which makes up 75% of the PAT.
1.2 The Design Portfolio
The design portfolio of the PAT should include evidence of how the development of the
product or model was approached, namely:
• The planning process

• The knowledge and skills accumulated in the process
• The technological process followed
• The safety and environmental aspects considered
• The calculations used – if applicable, sketches or diagram
• The starting time and ending time – how long it took to complete from start to finish
• The investigations undertaken
• User manual of model or product (if applicable)
• Bill of materials
• List of tools and equipment needed; and
• Any other information that is relevant to the project
As part of the design process learners must:
• Identify the problem and investigate means of solving the problem

• Generate possible solutions
• Develop the preferred solution
• Evaluate the chosen solution
• State the process followed in the development of the PAT
• Construct the solution to the problem in the form of a product or model

NSC
1.2.1 Structure of the Design Portfolio

The Design Portfolio consists of a collection of evidence, which shows the progression
throughout the PAT, and contains all the documentation produced during the
development of the artefact.
The Design Portfolio is divided into phases, which follow the technological process as
specified in Learning Outcome 2.
A. Phase 1 – The Problem Statement
• Scenario (First Term)
i. During this phase the learner is presented with the problem statement.
ii. The learner identifies the problem(s) or challenges and lists possible
solutions to the problem.
• Design Brief (First Term)
i. The learner is supplied with the criteria of the PAT, including items
such as cost limitations, design requirements and other criteria relevant
to the problem statement.
ii. The learner draws up his/her planning structure (management plan/plan
of action) for the development of the PAT following the criteria given.
B. Phase 2 – The Design

• Acquisition of information and skills (First and Second Term)
i. The learner needs to conduct a short investigation on each of the
possible solutions he/she has listed, and this is placed in the portfolio.
The teacher can provide learners with possible sources of information
and as far as possible make the same resources available to all learners.
ii. The learner compares the investigation conducted and from this
makes a critical decision on which solution will best solve the problem.
iii. The learner motivates in a short description why the design/solution
chosen is the best in his/her opinion.
iv. All the research is retained in the portfolio.
v. Teachers need to ensure that learners do not select a solution that would
pose a challenge beyond that of a Grade 12 Learner in the NCS.

NSC
vi. Upon deciding the best possible solution, the learner needs to refine the
research done and now prepare a final design. This should include the
following:
1. The planning process
2. The knowledge and skills accumulated in the process
3. The technological process followed
4. The safety and environmental aspects considered
5. The calculations used – if applicable, sketches or diagrams
6. The starting time and ending time – how long it took to complete
from start to finish
7. The investigations or research undertaken
8. Any other information that is relevant to the project
vii. The learner must list the materials and tools needed for the completion
of the PAT (as if in a real-life situation). Again it is emphasized that the
teacher must guide and ensure that learners do not embark on a
process that is not viable on a Grade 12-level.
C. Phase 3 – The Make and Evaluation
i. During this phase the teacher will supply learners with scenarios and
ability tasks that will give learners the opportunity to gain the skills
needed for the completion of the PAT. These Scenarios and ability tasks
will include:
1. Scenarios on: Topics relevant to the specific scenarios as given in
the 2010 PAT.
2. Ability tasks such as simulations, drawing skill exercises, correct
use of tools and instruments relevant to the PAT.
ii. The skills of learners are paramount to the completion of a PAT and it is
imperative that learners have MULTIPLE opportunities from the first
week of school at the beginning of the year, thus enabling learners to
exhibit the maximum skills levels possible for a Grade 12 Learner.
iii. Teachers will assess only the Ability tasks, which are chosen for formal
assessment purposes. Self, group and peer assessment will form the
basis of the developmental assessment.
• Production and Self Evaluation (Second and Third term)

i. The learner now simulates the final design and effects any changes
that are necessary. These changes are recorded and included in the
design portfolio. Learners may use electronic equipment where
available, e.g. cellphone cameras, digital cameras, etc. to document their
progress.
ii. Finally the learner manufactures and assembles all the needed parts
of the artefact. Learners are allowed to make use of recycled materials,
which can be revamped and re-fitted for the purpose of the PAT.

NSC
iii. It should be noted that learners might have to make use of extra-
curricular time in the Civil Technology workshop for the hand skills
needed to manufacture the artefact, although this should still be done
under supervision of the teacher.
IMPORTANT NOTE
iv. The PAT should commence from the first term, as this is a lengthy and
drawn out process and CANNOT be left to the last minute.
• Presentation
i. All the components of the PAT (design portfolio, building plans and
model) should be completed and presented for assessment by the time
the preparatory exam starts at the end of the third term to allow sufficient
time for the external moderation.
ii. At this phase the teacher will do any final assessments, which are
outstanding, and all learner portfolios and models are kept safely until
the moderation process is completed (both Provincial and National
moderation).
iii. It is imperative that the criteria are adhered to from the beginning, as this
will form the basis for assessment.
iv. Teachers cannot penalize learners on points, which are not included in
the initial criteria.
v. Upon selection, learners may be required to showcase skills and
knowledge during moderation (face moderation).
The communication of the design is a continuous process and the learner

will continuously make changes to this part of the portfolio as the PAT
progresses.
Table 1 on page 9 can be used as checklist of the stages that should be followed for the
development of the PAT. This table also gives a guideline in terms of which tasks could be
formally assessed and which ones could be informally assessed, and the possible
assessment tool(s) for the different tasks.
Every teacher must design a pacesetter to indicate the completion dates for the different
stages of the PAT, and manage this process in order to avoid crisis management and
unnecessary stress nearer to the completion date of the PAT.
The submission dates for the different parts of the PAT as indicated in the pacesetter
should be given to learners in writing.

NSC
1.3 Administration of the PAT for Civil Technology
The PAT should be completed in the first three terms and handed in towards the end of the
third term, before the commencement of the preparatory examination. The PAT should be
based on real-life situations and completed under controlled conditions. (Refer to the SAG
Jan 2008.)
Teachers must set dates for the different phases of the PAT in Table 1 on page 9. In this
manner learners can assess their progress. Instances where formal assessment tasks
take place, it is the responsibility of the teacher to administer assessment tasks.
After studying the section on guidelines to the teacher, teachers must explain in full the
requirements of the different stages of the PAT as well as the criteria as indicated in the
rubrics and mark schedules. This will ensure that learners and teachers have a common
understanding of the assessment tools and what is expected of the learners.
Teachers are requested to make copies of Section 2 (Instructions for the learner) and give
it to the learners at the beginning of the year. Learners should receive the assessment
criteria of the PAT when the PAT is handed out.
The PAT should not leave the classroom/workshop and must be kept in a safe place at all
times when learners are not working on it.
1.4 Assessment and moderation of the PAT
The Practical Assessment Task for Grade 12 is externally set and moderated, but
internally assessed.
1.4.1 Assessment
Frequent developmental feedback is needed to guide and give support to the learner in
ensuring that the learner is on the right track.
Both formal and informal assessment should be conducted on the different tasks that
constitute the PAT. Informal assessment can be conducted by the learner himself or
herself, by a peer group, or by the teacher. Formal assessment should always be
conducted by the teacher and will be recorded.
Learners submit the product or model for assessment by the end of the third term, before
the commencement of the preparatory examination. The design portfolio must accompany
the model or product.
The teacher must take into account the requirements of the assessment of all the
components of the PAT and therefore plan the assessment programme for the PAT
accordingly.

NSC
1.4.2 Moderation
During moderation of the PAT the design portfolio and the model will be presented to the
moderator.
Where required the moderator should be able to call on the learner to explain the function,
principles of operation and also request the learner to exhibit the skills acquired through
the capability tasks for moderation purposes. The sequence of events according to the
technological process may also be requested from the learner.

SCENARIO 3 FOR CIVIL TECHNOLOGY
Your parents have bought a plot of land that is situated above road level on a slope. Sloping areas
can create problems when building houses. The land situated at the back will be at a higher level
and sliding of soil can occur. As a Civil Technology learner you are requested by your parents to
design a house to be erected on the plot.
Due to high excavation costs in levelling the surface the house must be built on the slope.
Determine the needs and preferences in relation to the type of house that your parents would want
to build. The house has to be a single storey house not bigger than 140 m².
Choose any one of the three options below in which you can develop your PAT.
