Authentic pedagogy provides a perspective of learning that is more suitable for students compared to didactic pedagogy and i believe that such an approach is most necessary to students these days. We often see bored students in classrooms, or students focusing only to exam-subjects and not understanding why all these other subjects teaches in schools are important for them to know. Now more than ever, there is a disconnection between school and society which has fundamentally shifted during the recent years, and students are well aware of that. From my experience in high schools, I feel that most times, the only thing that keeps students to school, particularly students who know more or less what their interests are, are the grades and the feeling that exams, grades and tests are the way to get them out of there and free to do their own thing. As for the rest of the students who are still wondering around and about, even grades are indifferent to them and they only focus on school social life and on having fun with their friends.

For all those reasons, i think that authentic pedagogy that provides more learner-centred activities and inquiry learning, allowing students to walk, talk and work in groups during class and interact which each other is a step towards making schools interesting, exciting and fun for students while also educating them.

However, during this lesson a critique on authentic pedagogy was mentioned that i believe is a major point to consider. The point is that, when somebody is an outsider in specific subject, or idea, does authentic pedagogy provide all the tools for him/her to succeed and internalise understanding or is he/she left behind? That is something we all teachers have to take into account.
