Authentic assessment provides the opportunity for students to contextualise their learning. Most importantly, it offers a multitude of ways to enhance inclusive learning and teaching through offering choices that align with students' interests, sociocultural and linguistic backgrounds, and learning strengths. For example, students with a disability might choose a topic that relates to community services, or an international student may elect to critically analyse a global humanitarian program.Here, students experience how theoretical knowledge is mobilised under real-life conditions. This form of assessment facilitates and recruits interest in the practical consolidation of students’ knowledge and skills through actively and constructively engaging in real-world problem-solving.What is considered an authentic assessment varies between disciplines and contexts. But in general terms, authentic assessment may include: role-play or simulation activities of a particular scenario a real-life undertaking critical analysis and evaluation in a professional workplace context.
