Editor's Notes
- #3 the X-API lets products like the learning record store keep track of all your digital activities at work.
- #4 These are forms of tech, but provide Structures for delivery Team-based messaging; copies the "flow" of work
- #5 But the research shows that when we repeat information well, with timed intervals between, and we ask people questions (to force our brains to “retrieve” information), we actually create new learning pathways, just the same way we learn certain “on the job skills” through practice, repetition, and continuous questioning about why something didn’t work.
- #6 Soft skills (Digital literacy, creativity, innovation, capability, collaboration, communication)
- #8 The pedagogical framework I would like to talk to you about today is called heutagogy, also known as self-determined learning. I stumbled upon heutagogy while doing research into social media and reflective learning journals. Along with Siemens & Downes‘ theory of connectivism, Terry Anderson described heutagogy as a network-centric learning theory. Heutagogy was first defined by Stewart Hase and Chris Kenyon, both from Australia, in 2000. This is their definition. Roots in earlier learning theories such as humanism, constructivism, douple-loop learning, and andragogy, which have contributed to the elements of heutagogy. These elements are…
- #9 Heutagogy is not new. (This was pointed out to me at the RIDE conference in 2013.) On the contrary, heutagogy has its roots in earlier learning theories and concepts such as humanism (Maslow and Rogers), constructivism (Vygotsky), reflective practice (Schön), douple-loop learning (Argyris and Schön), andragogy (Knowles), transformative learning (Mezirow), capabilities (Stephenson), self-efficacy (Bandurra), all of which have contributed to the fundamental principles of heutagogy.
- #10 The heutagogical approach can be viewed as a progression from pedagogy to andragogy to heutagogy, with learners likewise progressing in maturity and autonomy (Canning, 2010, see Figure 2). More mature learners require less instructor control and course structure and can be more self-directed in their learning, while less mature learners require more instructor guidance and course scaffolding (Canning & Callan, 2010; Kenyon & Hase, 2010). Cognitive development of learners, a requirement for critical reflection and discourse to occur, could also be integrated into this pyramid, with cognitive development progressing in parallel with learner maturity and autonomy (Mezirow, 1997).
- #11 One way to think of heutagogy is as a continuum of pedagogy and andragogy. (Fred Garnett has called it the PAH continuum). There are two schools of thought among heutagogy activists: One is that heutagogy is placed at the end of the PAH continuum and is only practiced by those with high levels of learner autonomy.

- #19 A Heutagogical learning environment has the following key elements (learner in center). Explore: Fundamental to heutagogy is the element of exploration. Learners must be given the freedom and opportunity to explore a variety of paths and sources of knowledge on their journey. They need to be able to develop and test hypotheses, and ask and answer questions – all of which arise during the process of exploring. Structured curricula are out; learner-defined curricula are in. Create: Another important design element of heutagogy is giving the learner the freedom to create. This can be achieved using a variety of learning approaches, e.g., writing, designing, and drawing. What is important is that the learner is actively involved. Collaborate: Collaboration is another key element to heutagogy and aims to provide the kind of environment where learners can learner from each other. Working together toward a common goal, learners are able to solve problems and reinforce their knowledge by sharing information and experiences, continuously practicing, and experimenting by trial and error. They simply help each other along the way. The teacher serves as coach during the collaboration process.t Connect: Networks and connections are a critical aspect within heutagogy, as it is through these connections that new avenues of learning can be created. Making connections is easy with today’s social media, which give learners an opportunity to network with people across the world…and I will talk more about this later. Share: : Once learners have started connecting, they can begin sharing. Reflect: Finally, within every heutagogic learning environment, learners need to have opportunities to reflect. This is where there is potential for new learning to occur and previous learning to be consolidated. Reflection provides an opportunity to ascend to higher levels of cognitive activity such as analysis and synthesis. Repetition helps information move from short- to long-term memory. This reflective activity should include reflecting on the new knowledge that the learner has gained, as well as how she or he has learned – and the ways in which this learning experience has influenced his or her value system and beliefs.
