Assessment as Learning (Authentic Assessment) - Assessment as learning is typically
a self-assessment by students to gauge their own levels and gaps in learning, and is crucial
in helping students become life-long learners. This assessment can also be called as a
work-related assessment where the tasks and conditions are more closely aligned to what

is experienced in real life. This form of assessment is designed to develop students’ skills
and competencies alongside academic development.
