Authentic learning

Authentic learning is the idea that learners structure knowledge in a way that is meaningful to themselves.

Knowledge is connected to the real world, including social, cultural and other contextual factors. Learning comes through interacting with other people and through solving problems.

Teaching strategies:

• Find out what they personally want to learn and why they want to learn it. Then address that need.
• If you assessing people you haven't taught, ask enough "Why?" questions to see how they understand what they are doing.
