Heutagogy, otherwise known as self-determined learning, is a student-centered instructional strategy that emphasizes the development of autonomy, capacity, and capability. The goal of heutagogy is to teach lifelong learning to produce “learners who are well-prepared for the complexities of today’s workplace.” (Lisa Marie Blaschke)

21st Century Skills
21st Century Skills
21st century skills is a term that refers to a range of skills, knowledge, and character traits that are essential to succeed in the present world particularly in higher education, emerging careers, and workplaces. Educators, school reformers, employers and experts believe that 21st century skills can be applied in all academic subject areas, and in all educational, career, and civic settings throughout a student’s life. While all twelve of those skills are necessary to teach, the "four C's" are often considered to be the most important.
The four C’s (learning skills) of 21st Century skills are:
Critical thinking: Finding solutions to problems
Creativity: Thinking outside the box
Collaboration: Working with others
Communication: Talking to others
Differentiation
Differentiation
‘Differentiation is adapting content, process, or product according to a specific student’s readiness, interest, and learning profile.’

Heutagogy in Education
Heutagogy in Education
The overall purpose of pedagogical oriented teaching is scaffolding—or teaching basic skills as a foundation for future experiences. For andragogical oriented teaching, the goal is to establish some structure so learners can be self-directed. But, for heutagogical oriented teaching, the purpose is to establish an environment where learners can determine their own goals, learning paths, processes, and products. The learner is at the center of the learning process, rather than the teacher or the curriculum.
1 Learner-Defined Learning Contracts
1 Learner-Defined Learning Contracts
Designing a learner-defined learning contract is the first step to implementing a heutagogical approach. During this phase, the learner and teacher work together to identify learning needs and intended outcomes.
What does the learner want to learn or achieve?
What results should we expect from the learning experience?
What specific curriculum objectives are required?
2 Flexible Curriculum
2 Flexible Curriculum
A heutagogical approach is only possible when the curriculum is flexible and takes into consideration the learners’ questions, motivations, and how thinking shifts as a result of what they’ve learned. Students must be able to create a curriculum for themselves that can adapt to their individual needs.
Student build their plans based on a set of defined learning objectives
Students have the freedom to identify what and how to they learn
Personalization can help students feel empowered and encouraged to attain greater engagement
3 Flexible and Negotiated Assessment
3 Flexible and Negotiated Assessment
Assessment is an important part of all instructional approaches, including heutagogy. However, in this style of learning, students design their own assessments rather than undergoing standard tests. This creates a less threatening environment for students and can encourage deeper learning.
Assessments students design include ways of measuring the understanding of content and skills they have acquired
Students will be assessed to determine if the agreed upon outcomes have been achieved
4 Collaborative Learning
4 Collaborative Learning
Due to its independent nature, learning in a heutagogical classroom can cause inner conflict for the learner, especially if they are not accustomed to taking responsibility for their learning. However, once students have a taste for self-determined learning, few want to revert to the confines of a rigidly structured curriculum.
Facilitate students to work together to share knowledge and reflect on their progress
Students achieve a common goal
Students solve problems and reinforce their knowledge by sharing information and experiences, practice concepts, and experimenting
