“Heutagogy is the study of self-determined learning and applies a holistic approach to developing learner capabilities with the learner serving as the major agent in their own learning, which occurs, as a result of personal experience

(HASE & KENYON, 2007, P. 112)

Why should you be interested?

Addresses many of the challenges faced by education today: The workforce needs lifelong learning and lifelong

learners Students need to learn how to learn and develop

critical thinking skills Schools can’t teach everything; learners need to

learn to learn More institutions moving toward learner-centered

learning and competency-based education Aligns well with affordances of today’s

technology

Benefits of heutagogy

Improves critical thinking and reflection Increases learner engagement and motivation Gives learners more control over learning (learner-centered) Improves ability of learners to investigate and question ideas – and apply

knowledge in practical situations Supports development of independent ideas and self-confidence Makes learners more capable and able to adapt to new environments Better prepares them for the complexities of the workforce

Learner-centeredness

We need to inspire learners to learn again.

Page 16: Self determined learning: Creating personal learning environments for lifelong learning

Develop learner autonomy

Discover what motivates your learners Identify learners’ level of autonomy and

adjust accordingly Learner questionnaires and contracts Learner-directed questions and discussions

Focus on teaching learners how to learn

Page 17: Self determined learning: Creating personal learning environments for lifelong learning

Let learners create and play… and fail

Nurture a growth mindset Project-based learning Inquiry learning Problem-based learning

Incorporate activities for self-reflection, self- and information-discovery, and experimentation

Learning journals Visual story-telling

Encourage reflection

Build learner skills while allowing them to determine and reflect on their learning path Scaffolding of learning activities to create frameworks for

learning/discovery Learner-directed questions Action research

Use open learning environments

Choose a learning environment that supports free and open learning MOOC (xMOOCs, cMOOCs, project-based

MOOCS, open boundary courses) Communities of practice (CoPs) and

community networks Bibblio (http://bibblio.org)

Learners design and create their own PLEs.

We provide learning environments and give learners to tools to make those environments their own.
