In this workshop, you will explore the authentic learning framework, a powerful pedagogical approach for crafting complex, realistic learning tasks and experiences for your students (Herrington et al., 2014). The approach embeds knowledge in authentic contexts, challenging students to tackle real-world problems like professionals, and hone skills applicable to real-life challenges. Authentic learning not only reinforces these skillsets but also stimulates critical thinking and idea sharing to enhance the learning process. The workshop delves into practical examples, showcasing the implementation of the framework for advancing interdisciplinary inquiry in seminars. By engaging in discussions and collaborative activities, participants will learn effective strategies and discuss ways of overcoming challenges when applying the authentic learning framework. You will also uncover innovative ways to bridge academic and real-world experiences, fostering student empowerment.
