Authentic pedagogy refers to learning through experience. It includes hands-on participation wherein students can build, conduct experiments, and explore. In a simpler sense, authentic pedagogy is "learning by doing," as it obtains foundational skills, knowledge, and understanding from practical tasks. Obtaining knowledge is not for the purpose of attaining high grades on a test. It prepares students for the real world.

As an example of authentic pedagogy, students are to analyze sediments and report their impact on the land. Let us examine and evaluate this particular example of authentic pedagogy. The example task is valid since a rubric can be used in assessing this task, a real-world task, and students are enthusiastically occupied in exploration and inquiry. Learning has a close connection to the world outside of the classroom. Students make a product that can be shared with an audience outside the classroom; learners employ the instructional scaffolding method at critical times. Students have a chance for social discourse, collaboration, and reflection. Sufficient resources are on hand, and assessment of authentic learning is included effortlessly within the learning task in order to reflect similar, real-world assessments. Authentic learning provides students with the chance to examine the problem from a special perspective, which allows for challenging solutions and a diversity of outcomes instead of one single correct answer. Students are provided the chance for articulation of their learning process and/or final learning product.
