What is Heutagogy?

Therefore, a new method that can project multifaceted development in students is Heutagogy. I was researching on various educational systems in various countries when I came across Heutagogy that was introduced in Australian university and have been adopted in various educational institutions. It was perhaps for the students who were pursuing education in higher systems of education like Phd and postdoctoral fellowships. I studied more and then thought of improvising this concept for primary school children. I started experimenting on my class students and found out that it worked like an elixir.With the publishing of the book, “Letha Akasalu,” I found myself confident that I can propose this concept.

In this approach, the emphasis is laid on what the learner intends to do or learn. This is autonomous

way of learning with the minimal help of the teacher who acts as a strong facilitator in guiding. The learner learns to plan the study, gather resources, produces something out of the study, and gets involved into societal activities to imply what is learned in the society. I have practiced this in my school and experimented this method for a period of six years developing this concept and molding self-determined learning to the primary school students.

This experiment proved to produce students who can face any challenge, try their own methods, improved go getting type of attitude, and the ones
who could face any complexity with might. Text books act as reference books and the students acquire practical knowledge by doing more activities. It proved to be improving the competencies of students. The double loop learning triggers the audiovisual experience through digital classroom and the manual works done.

I have prepared few instructional design elements and have enclosed one as an example in the attachment along with this draft.
