Enhancing Learning with Authentic Assessment: Strategies for Meaningful Engagement

Authentic assessment is essential for fostering true learning. By focusing on individual students rather than treating them as mere replicators of information, educators can encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This involves creating personalized questions that are contextual and relevant, promoting collaboration through peer assessment, and facilitating self-reflection. Implementing models like Problem-Based Learning, Project-Based Learning, and Resource-Based Learning, allows students to engage actively with the material and develop independence in their learning journey.
