Authentic Learning Problem Design and Model Development

Authentic learning is an important research field of learning sciences. Based on the real-world problem solving， authentic learning usually integrates diversified practice communities and domanial tools. The learners could access the knowledge during the process of authentic problem solving. Although school learning has been criticized for many years because of its' breaking away from the real world， but till now it is still a problem as there is few design methods for authentic learning problem and the obstacles existing in the practice. Based on the activity theory， the research will put forward an authentic problem design model which comprises knowledge design， activity system analysis and some other important factors effecting problem design. The complex context of the real-world problem will be made by the analysis of activity elements and their relations in which knowledge is created and applied. The activity system analysis will be unfolded into four levels: (1) clarify purpose of activity system; (2) analyze the activity elements; (3) analyze the activity sub-systems; (4) analyze the activity structure. The factors of context and dynamics will be also considered in the analysis of the whole activity system. At last， a case of garbage sorting which is designed based on the authentic problem design model will be shown and analyzed.
