Pedagogy<\/h3>
\n

Traditionally the term pedagogy has been used to describe teaching in the K-12 system and andragogy has been used for teaching adults.  More typically now you will see the term pedagogy applied to formal learning across all ages.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Andragogy<\/h3>
\n

Andragogy is an adult learning theory from Malcolm Knowles that says adults: <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. are self-directed <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    1. have life experiences which are a rich resource for learning\u202f\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      1. are ready to learn <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        1. are problem- centered <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          1. are internally motivated\u202f <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            1. want to know why they need to learn something <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              The purpose of andragogy is to help develop independent or self-directed learners to develop competencies rather than simply adsorb content.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

              Heutagogy<\/h3>
              \n

              Heutagogy is placing the learner at the centre of the learning process as an equal in developing their own learning and is an extension of andragogy. The heutagogical experience contains four components: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              1. Providing content-specific material and curriculum, learning outcomes, as well as suggestions for assignments and assessments.\u202f <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                1. Encouraging learners to engage in their interests as much as possible by engaging in activities that promote research topics of interest to the learner. Experiential learning can be used to inspire embedded learning and arouse feelings.\u202f <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  1. Collaborating with learners when designing individual formative assessments. The assessment should be associated with learning activities and should feel like an experience. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                    1. Making use of self-reflection to encourage lifelong learning. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      There is value in heutagogy as this process will empower the learner to become the designer of their learning journey. When mentoring in heutagogy, an educator can support and guide individuals with learning and personal development. In a mentoring context, there is a heavy emphasis on the development of solid relationships and reciprocity. This student-focused teaching and learning in heutagogy encompasses three phases:\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      1. Joining, where the teacher engages in dialogue to establish relationships. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                        1. Building, planning and collaboration to develop solutions. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                          1. Extending, where new skills and knowledge are adapted and applied.<\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                            Active Learning<\/h3>
                            \n

                            What is it? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                            Active Learning is a student-centred approach that focuses on what students learn and how they learn. This method emphasizes engaged activities to foster deep learning and understanding of instructional concepts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Active learning encourages learners to be accountable and become more involved in the learning process than in a traditional classroom with a teacher-centred approach. For effective active learning to emerge, learning must occur in a real-world context in which learners can discover by experimenting, asking questions, and reflecting on results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Why is it important? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                            Active learning can lead to increased participation and meaning. Through the use of inquiry-based activities and open-ended questions, learners are challenged to develop their understanding of the material, which serves as a means of motivation. In addition, active learning may help support the development of independent learners capable of taking greater responsibility for their learning.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            How can you use it? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                            Be sure to select activities that reflect learning goals and key concepts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
