Authentic Student Performance, Assessment Tasks, and Instruction (CAREI)
Study of different instruction methods in a lesson on immigration to the US. The results showed that
the authenticity of instruction
accounted for 40% of the differences in student performance

Researchers examined over 2500 pieces of student
work collected from more than 100 elementary, middle, and high school
teachers. They found that most student work demonstrated a fairly
low level of authenticity, that is, student work was unlikely to
demonstrate analytical skills (evidence of construction of knowledge)
or to use major disciplinary concepts or methods (evidence of disciplined
inquiry). One of the primary reasons for the low quality of student
achievement was the low quality of the tasks or assignments given
to students. - themingway on 2008-02-19 -
Authentic assessments are necessary for authentic student performance,
but high-quality assessments alone are not sufficient. If students
are to produce authentic work, we need to give them the opportunity
to do so through authentic assessments, and the support to
do so through authentic instruction. - themingway on 2008-02-19 -

Authentic assessments are necessary for authentic student performance,
but high-quality assessments alone are not sufficient. If students
are to produce authentic work, we need to give them the opportunity
to do so through authentic assessments, and the support to
do so through authentic instruction. Thus, as shown in Figure 3,
the level of authenticity demonstrated in student work is enhanced
by authentic assessment tasks in combination with authentic instruction. -
Students' work on the immigration task was also collected from
all 12 classes and rated in terms of the CORS scales for authentic
student work. The results showed that the authenticity of instruction
accounted for 40% of the differences in student performance. In
other words, the higher the level of authentic instruction, the
higher the level of student performance. This held true regardless
of a student's gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or grade
point average.
