A study of authentic assessment in an internship course
Abstract
Internship courses are an active and applied opportunity to integrate educational
learning programs and courses within practice settings. Individual learners in
internship courses have different work internship placements and they start a
unique professional and practice journey. How can this authentic learning
environment be supported with authentic assessment? What assessments are
suitable for internship courses? This study explored authentic assessment concepts
and the practice of internship assessment in a graduate internship course in
international and intercultural communications. Students’ impressions of their
internship assessments are explored with a particular focus on students’
impressions of authentic assessment, and the integration of their education and
their real-world experience. To link this research to course improvement, this study
also includes the instructor’s critical reflection on the course and her plans for
integrating the study into her assessment practice.
