@helgztech@fosstodon.org So, I became interested in heutagogy around the turn of the century--of course we were not using the term--when I was working with and organization that was promoting several active learning models. One of them was "personal performance projects" in which students in k-12 defined an independent project and completed it.
Schools around me (in Vermont) have kept the model, but imposed som many hoops that the self-direction is largely gone.
On my blog, I have three posts that explicitly address self-directed learning:
The Three Agogos (pedagogy, andragogy, and heutagogy)

Heutagogy (largely draw from a school where we implemented a project)

and Creating Things that Matter (a brief review of a book by that title):
