Various terms are used to describe self-education. One such is '''''heutagogy'''''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->, coined in 2000 by Stewart Hase and Chris Kenyon of [[Southern Cross University]] in Australia; others are '''''self-directed learning''''' and '''''self-determined learning'''''. In the heutagogy paradigm, a learner should be at the centre of their own learning.<ref name= ChapnickMeloy>{{cite book|title=Renaissance elearning: creating dramatic and unconventional learning experiences|series=Essential resources for training and HR professionals|author1=Samantha Chapnick  |author2=Jimm Meloy |name-list-style=amp|publisher=[[John Wiley and Sons]]|date=2005|isbn=9780787971472|pages=36&ndash;37|chapter=From Andragogy to Heutagogy}}</ref> A truly self-determined learning approach also sees the heutagogic learner exploring different approaches to knowledge in order to learn; there is an element of experimentation underpinned by a personal curiosity.<ref>Hase Stewart and Chris Kenyon.

| quote = Ubuntu rejects this modernistic and atomistic individualism since it overemphasizes the seemingly solitary aspects of human existence at the expense of the communal aspects and interests. It also rejects Western-style collectivism which views society as a collection of separately existing and detached individuals or small groups. Ubuntu views the individual in terms of his or her relationship with others; individuals only exist only in and through their relationships and bonds with others.}}</ref>
