I have to agree...Authentic learning is not more "mainstream" because I think it is hard work! Think of all the time that it takes to create an authentic learning experience - I am overwhelmed just thinking about it. It takes some instructional design concepts, some subject matter expert knowledge, creative thinking, and a lot of motivation and work to come up with authentic scenarios/problems that get students to think about something and develop reach world skills and chip away at the vast amount of subject knowledge. Certainly regulation and pressure of test scores doesn't help this any. So I think it is a little bit of both - pressure, time, and motivation. Thanks for sharing your thoughts =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
