Abstract
Implementing authentic assessment tasks in higher education curriculum increases engagement, retention, and student awareness of future professional identity. This presentation revisits the discipline-generic features of authentic assessment in the Authentic Assessment Framework, which was created more than a decade ago to measure the authenticity of an assessment task and to enable comparisons with other assessment tasks. The Authentic Assessment Framework is applied to contemporary assessment tasks in law such as bail application, questioning of a witness in a criminal trial, reflective journaling on a real court visit, and a Moot Court simulation, conference paper abstract etc. As expected, some ssessment tasks are more authentic than others. Notably, the authenticity of some tasks has improved over time because advances in technology have enabled students to access technology like that of the workplace. This presentation identifies opportunities for improving the authenticity of contemporary assessments over time.
