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

The evidence

Focus develops specific regions of the human brain

The evidence

Brains are sensitive to the culture/environment

The evidence

Memory is fragile unless strengthened

The evidence

The 8 minute rule

The evidence

System 1 vs System 2 thinking

The evidence

Effort develops human brains

The evidence

Learning needs to be multi-sensory

The evidence

Humans are naturally curious and explore

The evidence

Emotions and learning are inextricably linked

The evidence

Humans are motivated to resolve incongruity

The evidence

Brain plasticity

The evidence

State dependent learning

The evidence

The first 30 seconds

The evidence

Repetition is critical for memory

The evidence

Humans learn in small chunks

The evidence

It can take years to develop reliable memories

The evidence

When real learning occurs is unpredictable

The evidence

Humans learn best by immersion

The Evidence

Ingredients are to puddings

As

Knowledge and Skills are to Learning

Doing Heutagogy

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
