Book-case studies: Self-determined learning: heutagogy in action
Book-case studies: Experiences in self-determined learning
Change, Adaptation and Learning
Humans are inherently conservative
We are remarkably irrational
Mental models get in the way of change
Human agency-we are self-determining
Our unconscious minds control most of what we do
Mental Models
The ‘yes but’ and suspending mental models for enlightenment
My Learning My Way
We Are Hard Wired to Learn
Exploration Experience and previous experience Hypothesis generating and testing Attention and motivation Collaboration Vicarious learning Pattern seeking Reinforcing what we have learned Internal rewards
The Doing of Heutagogy differentiate between knowledge and skill
acquisition, and deep learning;
recognize that learning is non-linear and occurs in an apparently random fashion;
involve the learner in designing their own learning content and process as a partner;
provide lots of resources and let the learner explore;
The Doing of Heutagogy enable the curriculum to be flexible so
that new questions and understanding can be explored as new neuronal pathways are developed;
individualize learning experiences; provide flexible, negotiated assessment; enable the learner to contextualize
concepts, knowledge and new understanding;
The Doing of Heutagogy use experiential learning techniques such
as project based learning;
engage emotions in learning experiences;
facilitate collaborative learning;
facilitate reflection, and double loop and triple loop learning (metacognition);
The Doing of Heutagogy develop research skills including how to
be discerning about ideas and content;
differentiate between knowledge and skill acquisition (competencies) and deep learning;
recognize the importance of informal learning and that we only need to enable it rather than control it;
The Doing of Heutagogy have confidence in the learner;
recognize that teaching and teacher control can become a block to learning; and
get out of the way.
