Authentic Assessment Supports Learners

Assessment is the foundation that helps to support and allow for development in education. "As an integral component of the education process, assessment supports learning by providing learners with the opportunity to demonstrate acquired skills and knowledge, while determining their professional, vocational and academic achievement" (Ashford-Rowe, 2014). Constructivist thinkers, share in this idea that the best approach to education, is to allow students to experience, learn and then, based on their own understanding, to create something that is contextual and relevant.
