Authentic Assessment
Authentic Assessment is an evaluation method that measures students' understanding and skills through real-world tasks. Instead of traditional tests, it focuses on practical applications, allowing students to demonstrate their knowledge in meaningful contexts. This approach encourages critical thinking and problem-solving, as students engage in activities that reflect actual challenges they might face outside the classroom.
By using projects, portfolios, or presentations, authentic assessments provide a more comprehensive view of a student's abilities. Teachers can assess not only what students know but also how they apply their knowledge in various situations. This method promotes deeper learning and prepares students for future success.
