Authentic Learning
Evidence of situated pedagogical approaches to the curriculum that promote engagement in meaningful, creative and immersive learning practices aligned to real-world experiences needs to be evidenced. The focus should be on contextualised, collaborative learning practices which provide students with opportunities to explore, discuss and offer solutions to issues of national and global significance, aimed at making a difference to others and the world around them. Examples could include project-based learning; engaging in enterprise and consultancy to industry approaches; and simulated-based learning.
