2. Introduction (Recap)
Heutagogy is a process of learning
where students learn on their own
with some guidance from the teacher.
It is different from the traditional
system of learning where a student
has to follow the teacher's
instructions.
The term Heutagogy is inspired by the
Greek word Heuriskein, which means
“to discover.”

3. Requirements
It works best for students who have the potential to handle
the learning process on their own.
Teachers help the students by providing study materials and
resources. However, the method of learning is
conceptualized by the students all by themselves.
Learning may not be for solving a problem or need. The
method of learning stems from the desire to learn in new
situations and conditions.

4. Requirements
• As the study is not pre-planned or directed
towards solving a problem, the students
indulge in active learning and their skills
may go beyond the need of solving
problems.
• They usually reflect, discuss, and share their
experiences to gain more insights or to
improve their perceptions about a specific
topic.
• The students who follow Heutagogy are
usually inspired by their creative inclinations
and understand the way of learning while
interacting with others.

9. Conclusion
Heutagogy can be implemented better
with digital technologies that help the
students to seek assistance from
teachers whenever they need it.
Finally, the end goal is to help students
develop a learning environment where
they no longer have to depend on
others to learn something successfully.
In short, unlike traditional teaching
methods, Heutagogy ensures maximum
interaction between the students and
teachers.
