Authentic learning involves framing materials and activities around real-life contexts to motivate students. It replicates challenges faced in the real world and encourages students to construct their own responses and solutions. An example is a geography student conducting fieldwork research on service delivery issues in South Africa. The student would have to formulate a hypothesis, gather data through interviews and surveys, analyze and present findings, and propose solutions to address problems identified, such as lack of housing and water access. The authentic task assesses students on planning, research, analysis, and developing an action plan to solve an actual community issue.
