A framework for authentic assessment in legal and ethical business curricula

A systematic literature review has led to the development of a practical framework for authentic assessment (AA) in Legal and Ethical Business (LEB) curricula within higher education. This framework is proposed as a solution to address suboptimal student engagement and knowledge inculcation observed with traditional teaching and assessment methods, aiming to enhance student learning, engagement, and skill development while upholding academic integrity.

The proposed framework offers a pathway to improve the effectiveness of higher education in critical domains such as Legal and Ethical Business. Enhancing student engagement and skill development through authentic assessment is crucial for producing graduates better prepared for professional challenges, thereby strengthening the talent pipeline for various industries. This shift can lead to more impactful learning outcomes that translate directly into professional competency.

Traditional assessment methods in Legal and Ethical Business (LEB) curricula, such as invigilated examinations, lead to suboptimal student engagement.
