Heutagogy: A Holistic Framework for Creating Twenty First Century Self determined Learners
Heutagogy, a form of self determined learning, is a holistic, learner centered approach to learning and teaching, in formal and informal situations. The theory is grounded in humanistic and constructivist principles and brings together numerous threads of early learning theories into a composite picture of learning that is suitable for and much needed in today's educational systems. With its learner centered approach, heutagogy shifts the focus from the teacher back to the learner and learning. This chapter discusses the principles, processes, and design of heutagogic learning environments with a specific emphasis on digital technologies.
