    Authentic assessment aims to evaluate students' knowledge, skills, and abilities in real-world settings similar to professional environments. It focuses on meaningful tasks, applying knowledge, higher-order thinking, multiple measures, and learning processes. The goal is to provide a more comprehensive understanding of what students can do and promote deeper learning and transfer to real life. In contrast, traditional assessment primarily measures memorization and recall in controlled settings, evaluates lower-order thinking, and may have limited applicability outside the classroom.
