4. Stewart Hase & Chris Kenyon
Heutagogy Fundamentals;
• Self-determined learning has a focus on what the
learner wants to learn & how they might learn it
• 7 elements; Approval, facilitators, choice,
agreement, review, assessment, feedback
• Benefits; empowerment, capabilities, open-ended
• Challenges; facilitation, time, culture, assessment

5. Stewart Hase & Chris Kenyon
What is the Nature of Learning?
• Andragogy & heutagogy underpinned by humanism and
constructivism; Andragogy with motivation - heutagogy
with double-loop learning. This also challenges our
deepest values, beliefs and ways of knowing.
• Learning is a complex interaction of myriad influences
including; genes, neurophysiology, physical state, social
experiences, and psychological factors.
• The learner may end up making a whole bunch of
cognitive leaps and end up seeing the world in completely
different ways…

Assessment in the education system;
• “School pokes your eyes out.
• University teaches you Braille
• Postgraduate Education is speed reading in
Braille”

8. Bob Dick
Crafting The Context…
• Crafting learner-centred processes requires 7
elements; group formation, community building,
meeting previous cohort, contact with practitioners,
life and career planning, experiential learning,
course design
• To elicit constructive learning behaviours and rules
• Assessment needs to negotiated and the
organisation managed.
• Learner-centred activities have universal aspects;
challenge, autonomy, support

9. Lisa-Marie Blashke
Self-Determined Learning Skills (and e-learning)
• New technology features; connectivity & social rapport,
content discovery & sharing, content creation, knowledge &
information aggregation & content modification
• Heutagogy is; double-loop learning, capability
development, learner-directed learning, non-linear design &
learning approach, group collaboration
• Heutagogy & new technology needs; #digital literacy skills,
co-creating communities of learning, online reflective
journals, scaffolded learning process, formative and
negotiated assessment, exploration & experimentation,
open learning environments.

10. Trevor Kerry
Principles of Heutagogy & Post-Grad Distance Learning;
• Tutorials need; speed, tone, student expertise, learning
alongside, encouraging independence, pastoral concern.
• Heutagogical Principles; a) Learning when the learner is
ready, b) Learning is a complex process, c) Learning
triggered by the learner, d) Student-centred >producing>
• Heutagogigical Capabilities; self-sufficiency in learning,
reflexivity, applicability of what is learnt, positive learning
values
• In e-contexts learners need; a) ability to learn for
themselves, b) belief in their power to learn c) exercise
powers of judgement

11. Mike Ramsay, John Hurley, Gavin Neilson
Workplace Learning for Nurses;
• Nursing as an emergent profession learning from
professional practice needs a progressive student
based capability hierarchy moving onwards from being
pedagogy-capable to heutagogy-capable
• Increasingly complex set of learning capabilities;
knowledge, practice, skills, attitudes.
• Transforming clinical practice-based learning; needs
mentors who keep learning cyclical & enable student
reflection. Students who question theory, are also
critical of practice, explore their own values – even
when this is discomforting for mentors…
John Hurley research publications;

12. Barbara Brandt
The Learners Perspective;
• Heutagogy as alter-ego. Using Stewart Hase, Edward
Taylor, Ian Baptiste as learning alter-egos
• “I learnt to do school at a very young age” > Find out
what the teacher wants/do it/reap rewards of good
grades. Learning that I wanted to do I did in my own
time…
• …“Enjoying this bit of informal e-learning”
• In self-determined learning I could trust the negotiation
process of reading and assessment. I trusted other
students and remembered the considerable personal
growth from stepping out of my comfort zone

Learning Creativity - All You Need is Heutagogy;
• The Beatles “pedagogic” period 62/64 produced Mersey
Beat pop hit singles schooled by producer George
Martin > Hard Days Night
• Andragogic Beatles 64/66 absorbed peer influences
(Dylan etc), inventing the self-contained rock group, and
the rock album, with Rubber Soul
• Heutagogic experimental period Beatles 66/67 played
the studio crafting unique song soundscapes, donned
the metaphor Sgt Pepper to free them up to transform
musical events into cultural artefacts > Day in the Life…

15. Ronan O’Beirne, Fred Garnett
Putting Heutagogy into informal e-learning
• Making learning fit for context
• In developing informal e-learning we had seen the
value of putting andragogy into learning design.
• The interdisciplinary learner-generated contexts
research group argued for treating the world as an
“ecology of resources” and built the open context
model of learning based on the development
framework the Pedagogy Andragogy Heutagogy
PAH Continuum – enabling agency & structure
across all sectors of learning.

17. Jane Eberle
Lifelong Learning;
• Heutagogy, with its feature of double-loop learning,
is not just for adult learners. It allows for freedom of
thought, original ideas and the opportunity to
enrich learning by active participation.
• Combined with Universal Design for Learning a
template that can be developed to allow instructors
and students alike to be creative and enjoy a mutual
respect of ideas
Heutagogy: It Isn’t Your Mother’s Pedagogy Any More –Jane Eberle & M Childress;

18. Stewart Hase
Learner-defined learning
• Combined with systems thinking and the “search
conference technique” heutagogy can provide
potentially exciting training programmes allowing
context to be determined by and application to be
driven by the learner.
• The facilitator needs to develop skills in managing
groups using a Socratic rather than a directive
technique and allow a dynamic environment to be
quickly created.

19. Natalie Canning
Practitioner Development in early years education
• Participants recognised the significance of
engaging with heutagogic strategies to support
their reflective practice as they developed their
professional identity & personal empowerment
by investing emotional energy in learning;
• Building knowledge and understanding, Changing
& influencing others, Improving quality provision,
Identifying where practice could develop, &
Enabling their personal & professional transition.

20. Boon Hou Tay
Transitioning from Pedagogy to Heutagogy;
• A three stage learning process from pedagogy to
andragogy to heutagogy through aesthetic
appreciation that affords keen pleasure to the
senses and charms the intellectual faculties.
• The process emphasizes a holistic development
in the learner of an independent capability, the
capacity for questioning ones values &
assumptions and to make unknowns known.

21. Roslyn Foskey
Innovations in Community Education;
• Aligning the concept of adult learning with heutagogy
provides insights on reflexivity that occurs when
interactive theatre is used in community learning.
• Interactive theatre is emergent, self-organised,
adaptive & dynamic moving from scripted scenes to
improvised performance through audience engagement
with actors. We see the benefits of adopting a creative
learner-determined process of engagement & the
importance of the learning environment.

22. Stewart Hase
Heutagogy in Action; where to next?
• Game-changers in education; the rapid rise of
information technology; “experience does not exist until
it has been communicated through #socialmedia”
• Individual curricula NOT national curricula
• Mastery of competencies – demonstrating capability
• Changing educational policy from fixed assumptions
about teacher-centric education – double-loop thinking
for policy makers?

23. Fred Garnett
2 Heutagogic lessons from curating the book
• 1. Moving from subject-discipline to professional
practice is heutagogic; subject–based learning can be
presented as a linear process. Real-life presents itself as
a set of problems to be solved creatively by the learner
• 2. Learning online is best done as a self-determined
learner. Creating personal learning networks that work
for you…
