Introduction

Authenticity is term that is often heard in so-called "new" pedagogies, although its roots are much older since traditional education was mostly based on an apprenticeship model.

“Authenticity is an often-heard term with respect to education. Tasks should be authentic, the learning environment should be authentic and, above all, the teacher should be authentic.” [1]

We therefore can distinguish between:

  • teacher authenticity [1]
  • task authenticity
  • learning environment authenticity [2]
  • assessment authenticity [3]
  • learner authenticity (“just be yourself”) [4]
