22. Doing Heutagogy
 You are from the planet Apha2398 in a far off galaxy, living on
earth. You get a job as a physicist in a university because of
your incredible knowledge but know nothing about teaching.
 You do some research and find out the following about how
humans learn.
 Take notes of the following as I go through these factors
since you’ll use them shortly

23. The evidence
Focus develops
specific regions of the
human brain

24. The evidence
Brains are sensitive to
the
culture/environment

25. The evidence
Memory is fragile
unless strengthened

26. The evidence
The 8 minute rule

27. The evidence
System 1 vs System 2
thinking

28. The evidence
Effort develops human
brains

29. The evidence
Learning needs to be
multi-sensory

30. The evidence
Humans are naturally
curious and explore

31. The evidence
Emotions and learning
are inextricably linked

32. The evidence

to resolve incongruity

33. The evidence

learning

35. The evidence

memory

37. The evidence

memories

39. The evidence
When real learning
occurs is unpredictable

immersion

 As
 Knowledge and Skills are to
Learning

42. Doing Heutagogy
Given what you just discovered, what
would you now do to ensure your learners
learned and what would the curriculum look
like?

43. What is heutagogy?
Self-determined learning
Learner defined learning

45. 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 ?

46. Summary
The learning experience is dynamic
Expectancy
There is a difference between knowledge and
skills (competencies) and real learning
The learner will become distracted by new
questions
Teaching can become a block to learning
The teacher doesn’t know what is going on in
the brain of the learner unless she/he checks

47. 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

48. 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

49. Learning

52. Think of something you
learned that really changed
you or your life
