Given what you just discovered, what would you now do to ensure your learners learned and what would the curriculum look like?
What is heutagogy?
Self-determined learningLearner defined learning
Learning Grid
Think of the best teacher you ever had or have seen.
Someone who made a significant difference to you
What was it that made them a really brilliant teacher ?
SummaryThe learning experience is dynamicExpectancyThere is a difference between knowledge and skills
(competencies) and real learningThe learner will become distracted by new
questionsTeaching can become a block to learningThe teacher doesn’t know what is going on in the
brain of the learner unless she/he checks
Doing self-determined learning (heutagogy) Deep engagement
Expectations and agenda setting Where is the learner now? Involvement of the learner in design Framing questions
Flexible curricula Resource availability Learner-generated contexts
Doing self-determined learning (heutagogy) Flipped Classroom Negotiated assessment Spontaneity in process and experience Constructivist methods that engage emotion with experience Getting higher up the Blooms Taxonomy Scale Coaching models The Pedagogy, Andragogy, Heutagogy (PAH) continuum
Learning
Think of something you learned that really changed
you or your life
