The Difference Between Pedagogy, Andragogy, And Heutagogy (Heick, 5 November 2015) |
Heutagogy was defined in 2000 by Hase and Kenyon as "self-determined learning" and is based on the idea of knowledge-sharing over knowledge-hoarding. It picks up Argyris's idea of double-loop learning, and reflecting about the how and the why of our learning (2002). I like that. Research projects and theses are heutagogic.
Heutagogy is a step beyond andragogy (adult learning; Knowles, 1980), and into self-reflective, -directed and -determined learning. Learners not only build the plan, they negotiate their own path, outline the field, and map the territory (Heick, 5 November 2015; Blaschke, 2012; Argyris, 2002; Hase & Kenyon, 2001; Hase & Kenyon, 2000). Heutagogy is a philosophical approach that aims to help learners self-develop as problem-solvers, trouble-shooters and action-takers making continuous improvement: those who can work developmentally in learning organisations.
The idea is that the learner drives the learning completely, independently, and does not follow a linear route. The learner seeks self-actualisation (Maslow, 1962). The 'teacher' is simply a guide on the side (King, 1993); a facilitator.
It is quite an interesting idea. I will come back to it in a later post.
