Simply stated, it means that adults learn best when they have a lot of control over what they learn and how they learn it. In addition, heutagogy asserts that the assessment of adult learning should focus on what the learner believes she\/he has learned and on the various ways that learning has impacted, or will impact her\/his values, ideals, and behavior.<\/span><\/span>\r\n

The learning objectives implicit in the heutagogical approach are different than those of traditional pedagogy and contemporary andragogy.\u00a0 I have designed this course to create a learner directed learning environment that will expose each student to the generally accepted concepts, ideas, methods and ethical principles which comprise the acceptible conduct of research in the fields of Psychology.\u00a0 In addition, the design of this course will provide the opportunity for each student to identify and explore the specific topics and ideas from the textbook and from the Web activities that she\/he finds most important and relevant.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n
