You\u2019ve heard the term \u2018authentic assessment\u2019, but do you actually know what it means? We\u2019re breaking down the jargon to explain what authentic assessments are, why they\u2019re important and how three academics have come up with creative ways to incorporate them into their classes today.<\/p>\n

What would you do: Take a first-year nursing student to treat a critically ill patient in a real-life hospital emergency room? Ask them to write an essay to explain, theoretically, how they\u2019d go about treating said patient? Or, have them demonstrate, on a simulation manikin in the UTS nursing labs, how they\u2019d go about taking a patient\u2019s vitals upon arrival at hospital?<\/p>\n

If you selected option three, then you selected the best option for an ‘authentic assessment’.<\/p>\n

An ‘authentic assessment’ is a task that builds and gives feedback on the skills and knowledge students need once they get a job, in a form that\u2019s similar to some work they might do. It doesn\u2019t need to include every aspect of a full-scale problem they might face in their profession, but it should enable the student to show what they can \u2018do\u2019 with what they\u2019ve learned, rather than which facts they\u2019ve memorised.<\/p>\n
