Heutagogy is a self-determined learning approach where students take full responsibility for their learning, moving beyond traditional pedagogy and andragogy. Developed by Stewart Hase and Chris Kenyon in 2000, it emphasizes student-centered, multidisciplinary learning and flexibility in assessments. While higher education has been slow to adopt heutagogy, fields like nursing and engineering are increasingly recognizing its potential to foster independent, lifelong learners.

3. HeutagogyHeutagogy
Heutagogy is self determined learning,
students take full responsibility of the individual

Pedagogy and Andragogy. This theory is developed
by Stewart Hase of Southern Cross University
and Chris Kenyon in Australia in 2000.

4. Key ElementsKey Elements
 Learning will be student centered (content,
processes, & goals)
 Emphasis will be on learning processes over
content mastery
 Knowing how to learn will be an essential skill
 Learning will be multidisciplinary

5. Key ElementsKey Elements
 Learning will be supported by curricular
flexibility
 Individualized learning
 Provisions for flexible or negotiated
assessments
 Enable rather than control informal learning

6. PedagogyPedagogy
Pedagogy is a traditional education which
focuses on the relationship of teacher and
student. In this approach of learning, students
are fully dependent on teacher and this makes
learning teacher-centered.

7. AndragogyAndragogy
Andragogy is a learning strategy developed
for adult learners. It is clearly and distinctly
different from traditional pedagogy. This
approach of learning is totally learner focus.

12. Heutagogy in PracticeHeutagogy in Practice
Higher education has been somewhat unwilling to
implement and embrace Heutagogy because of the
minimal role that the instructor. Educators in nursing,
education, and engineering are taking a closer look at
Heutagogy as a workable way to learn given the need
of their students to be independent and lifelong
learners who can readily adapt to the challenges
inherent to their professions.
