Heutagogy is a term used in education to describe a learning paradigm where learners have a high degree of control over their learning. Unlike pedagogy (teacher-directed learning) and andragogy (adult-directed learning), heutagogy places the emphasis on the learner as the primary agent in their own learning process.

Key characteristics of heutagogy include:

Self-Directed Learning:

Learners take responsibility for their own learning and are actively involved in planning, executing, and evaluating their learning experiences.
Autonomy:

Heutagogy emphasizes learner autonomy, allowing individuals to make choices about what, how, and when they learn.
Exploration and Discovery:

Learners are encouraged to explore topics of interest, seek out resources, and discover knowledge independently.
Critical Reflection:

Heutagogical approaches often involve reflective practices where learners critically assess their own learning, understanding, and progress.
Flexible Learning Paths:

Learning is not constrained by a predefined curriculum; instead, learners can follow flexible paths based on their needs and interests.
Collaboration:

While heutagogy emphasizes individual autonomy, it does not exclude collaborative learning. Learners can collaborate with others in a variety of ways, sharing insights and resources.
Adaptability:

Learning in a heutagogical environment is adaptable and responsive to the learner's changing needs and circumstances.
The term "heutagogy" was introduced by Stewart Hase and Chris Kenyon in the early 2000s. It represents a shift towards more learner-centered approaches in education, acknowledging the changing nature of information access and the importance of developing learners who can thrive in self-directed, dynamic learning environments.
