The PAT is a new experience for most Computer Applications Technology teachers.
The PAT is about
-
solving a problem
- recognise a problem or a need
- understand / analyse the problem
- design/create a solution / make a decision
-
applying
techniques of information management
(task definition, strategies to find information, find and use information, create/present)
-
using
application software (tools)
(word processor, spreadsheets, database, presentation software, internet)

As jy na hierdie drie afdelings kyk: Solving, Applying and Using lyk dit so eenvoudig in vergelyking met die ses fases wat in die PAT gedoen moet word. Kan ons nie net daarop konsentreer nie. Die klem moet op die 'using' val. Ek het nou Fase 1 en 2 gemerk - en dit 'merk' nog steeds vir my moeilik. As mens na drie fases kyk, kan mens 'n vorm (template) opstel vir fase 1 en 2 met vrae wat die leerder invul. Fase 3 wat die doen fase is, bring my by die vak RekenaarTOEPASSINGStegnologie uit. As ek kyk na voorbeelde van PAT wat ander lande doen, dan sien ek dit werk so.

I hope this site will be of great help. PAT need understanding and dedication from both learners and educators.

Dit is 2:19 - wat hou my wakker? PAT natuurlik. Ek is nou besig met Fase 3. Hoeveel vrae se antwoorde moet leerder dek en doen om te bewys wat die verskillende pakkete kan doen? As die leerder die matriekafskeid gekies het, kan hy uitnodigings, vraelyste, tafeluitleg, briewe aan verkeer ens. met Word doen. Hy kan mos dan net op een vraag per pakket fokus om te bewys wat gedoen kan word?????
Ek is besig om van my kop te raak!!!!!. PAT tel 25%, dit voel of dit 95% se werk behels. Ek kry nie tyd om my leerders goed vertroud te maak met dit wat van hulle in die eksamen en in die praktyk verwag word nie.

I would like the matric educators to explain the PAT in more detail. Parents would like to assist but there is no resources available. Do the learner really used the six steps when they get into the working environment?
Please post some details for parents as well.
Thank you.

Remember that the Grade 12 PAT for 2008 is about ADVISING the SMT on HOW to ADMINISTER a school event USING the applications packages in an integrated fashion.
Maybe learners should revisit their task definition - it is NOT about ORGANSING the event themselves.
Learners should understand the process(es) involved in such an event to be able to see how the different applications could be used to facilitate the administration of the event. They should then suggest to the SMT how to use the different applications giving one or two examples. For the rest, they only need to tell / describe / suggest to them how else they could use the applications.

I think a complete sample of the PAT assignment should be given by the department so that we can follow.

Dit sou goed gewees het as daar 'n voorbeeld van alle fases apart gewees het, dit is nogal moeilik om jouself te verantwoord as die leerders vir jou vrae vra en jy het nie bewyse vir hulle nie.
Die PAT neem geweldig baie tyd inbeslag van die leerders, sowel as die onderwysers. Die dokument, veral die fase kon gekombineer word.

Ek kan nie insien dat PAT geensins die leerder help om die toepassings beter te doen nie. Die leerder het dan so min tyd om die leerplan wat die oefeninge betref, baas te raak. Party kan nie eers reg tik nie. Hoekom moet ons dit so moeilik maak vir hulle.

It is my first year teaching CAT. I have been an Accounting teacher for nearly 20 years and needed a change. Because I have a passion for computers I decided to give CAT a go when the opportunity became available. Looking back I should have started with Grade 10 and "worked" myself into the system and not taking on Grade 10 to 12 at the same time. I am "glad" to see other people struggling with the PAT and that I am not the only one. I agree, the department should have given us a finished PAT to follow and then later start doing our own thing. Maybe they won't be to hard on us when it comes to moderation?????

Die doel van die PAT is nie om die toepassings beter te doen nie, maar om Inligtingsbestuur (LO3) te assesseer. Die feit dat hulle in hierdie proses ook hul vaardighede rakende die toepassingspakkette oefen en verbeter, is 'n bonus. Toepassingspakkette is nie die fokus van die PAT nie - Inligtingsbestuur is. Die toepassingspakkette is net die gereedskap wat die leerder in die PAT gebruik om sy inligtingsbestuursvaardighede te bemeester en ten toon te stel.
