Figure 3: Progression from pedagogy to andragogy then to heutagogy

If you give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day. But, if you teach a man to fish, you’ll feed him for a lifetime!

When was the last time your skills in training and staff development were able to impact eternity?

Pedagogy:

Pedagogy is a child-focused teaching approach. It is the art and science of helping kids learn. It is the discipline that deals with the theory and practice of education; it thus concerns the study and practice of how best to teach. Its aims range from the general (full development of the human being via liberal education) to the narrower specifics of vocational education (the imparting and acquisition of specific skills). It is the method and practice of teaching, especially as an academic subject or theoretical concept: the relationship between applied linguistics and language pedagogy. With pedagogy, the learner is a dependent personality. The teacher determines what, when and how anything is learned. The learner gas few resources. The teacher devises transmission techniques to store knowledge in the learner's heart.

Learning is subject centered focused on prescribed curriculum and planned sequences according to the length of the subject matter. The reason for learning is to learn in order to advance to the next stage. Motivation comes from parents, teachers and the sense of competition. The teacher designs the learning process and imposes material. This process focuses on using senses to observe to collect data and find the solution. It uses practical learning, applicability and experiencing. Understanding is the knowledge production context. The cognition level is the cognitive level. The education sector is at primary and middle schools. Whatever your child's starting point, together we can help them catch up, learn more, and get ahead. Side by side, step by step, day by day.

Andragogy:

Andragogy is an adult-focused teaching approach. It is a self-directed learning. It is the art and science of helping adults learn. It is the discipline that deals with teaching and learning through negotiation, self-dialoguing, self exploration, argument and studying the problem to find solutions for it. The learner watches, observes and asks (Why is this? and why is that?). Through andragogy, learning is centered around both the teacher and learner. The education process is set up on the basis of a kind of co-operation between the teacher and the learner. This process focuses on analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Dialoguing with one's self and dialoguing with others are necessary. Brainstorming is basic to teach learners critical thinking. Brainstorming happens when the teacher asks questions to enable learners to generate ideas. Generating ideas form a mind map.

The brainstorming questions use the following question words:( What, Where, When, Why, How, Who ? ). Negotiation is the knowledge production context. The cognition level is the meta-cognitive level. The education sector is for adults at high schools. Adults are independent. They strive for autonomy and self-direction in learning. Adults use their own and others' experiences. Adults learn when they experience a need to know or to perform more effectively. Adult learning is task or problem centered. Motivation stems from internal sources, the increasing self esteem, confidence and recognition that come from successful performance. The role of the teacher is an enabler, facilitator, creator of collaboration, respect and openness. I t is one loop learning as it starts with the problem, passes by the action and ends with the outcomes.

Andragogy asserts that adults learn best when:.

1-They feel the need to learn

2-They have some input into what, why, and how they learn

3-The learning’s content and processes have a meaningful relationship to the learner’s past experience.

4-Their experience is used as a learning resource

5-What is to be learned relates to the individual’s current life situation and tasks.

6-They have as much autonomy as possible

7-The learning climate minimizes anxiety and encourages freedom to experiment.

8-Their learning styles are taken into account.

9-There is a cooperative learning climate

10-We create mechanisms for mutual planning

11-We arrange for a diagnosis of learner needs and interests and enable the formulation of learning objectives based on the diagnosed needs and interests.

The six principles of adult learning:

1-Adults are internally motivated and self-directed.

2-Adults bring life experiences and knowledge to learning experiences.

3-Adults are goal oriented.

4-Adults are relevancy oriented.

5-Adults are practical.

6-Adult learners like to be respected.

Heutagogy:

Heutagogy is a Self-Determined Learning. It is the discipline that deals with teaching and learning through researching and navigation. The education process is set up on the basis of the independent learning. The learner watches, observes and asks (Why isn't this? and why isn't that?). This process focuses on evaluation, imagination, creation and innovation. Creation or innovation is the knowledge production context. The cognition level is the epistemic level. The education sector is for post graduate learners at the universities to get a higher Diploma degree, a Master degree or a Doctoral degree. There are three different types of quantitative research question.

Researching questions include the exploratory questions, base rate questions, solution-focused questions, descriptive questions, observational questions, comparative or relational questions and casual questions that deal with cause and effect questions. Thew locus of control is the learner. Learners are independent. They identify the potential to learn from novel experiences as a matter of course. They are able to manage their own learning. The teacher provides some resources but the learner decides the path by negotiating the learning. To talk about the reason for learning, I can say that learning is not necessary planned or linear. Learning is not necessary based on need but on the identification of the potential to learn in novel solutions. To talk about the focus of learning, learners can go beyond problem solving by enabling pro-activity.

Learners use their own and other's experiences and internal processes such as reflection, environmental scanning, experience, interaction with others and pro-active as well as problem-solving behaviors. Motivation comes from self-efficiency and knowing how to learn, creativity, abilities to use these qualities in novel as well as familiar situations and working with others. Concerning the role of the teacher, the teacher develops the learners' capability. Capable people : Know how to learn, are creative, have the high degree of self-efficiency, apply competence in novels well as familiar situations and can work well with others. It is a double loop[ learning as it starts with the beliefs, passes by the problem and the action then ends with the outcomes.

In self-determined learning, it is important that learners acquire both competencies and capabilities.

1-Competency can be understood as proven ability in acquiring knowledge and skills.

2-Capability is characterized by learner confidence in his or her competency 3-As a result, the ability “to take appropriate and effective action to formulate and solve problems in both familiar and unfamiliar and changing settings.

Heutagogy as an Extension of Andragogy:

The heutagogical approach can be viewed as a progression from pedagogy to andragogy to heutagogy, with learners likewise progressing in maturity and autonomy.

1-More mature learners require less instructor control and course structure and can be more self-directed in their learning.

2-Less mature learners require more instructor guidance and course scaffolding .

Teaching

Teaching is the process of attending to people’s needs, experiences and feelings, and making specific interventions to help them learn particular things. Interventions commonly take the form of questioning, listening, giving information, explaining some phenomenon, demonstrating a skill or process, testing understanding and capacity, and facilitating learning activities (such as note taking, discussion, assignment writing, simulations and practice).

Teaching is the job of the teacher. The teacher is asked to enable his learners to listen, speak, dialogue, communicate, interact, participate, read, write, apply, think, pair, share, analyze, synthesize, evaluate, imagine, research, discover, explore, and solve a problem. There are many reasons why teaching is an increasingly popular choice of career for a wide range of skilled and talented people. Teaching is a rewarding profession in more ways than one, offering fantastic career prospects and development opportunities in addition to competitive financial benefits.
