IACE Hall of Fame Repository

Malcolm S. Knowles stands as a giant catalyst at the juncture - past, present, and future - of andragogy (the art and science of helping adults learn) within the field of Adult Education and Human Resource Development. For more than 50 years until his death in 1997, Malcolm devoted his personal and professional life to exemplifying the theory and practice of andragogy: as a speaker to audiences of 10,000 or less; as a university professor with a multiplicity of adult learners (his students); as a consultant to numerous institutions and corporations in countries around the world; as a writer of …

There has been an inadequate investigation of the foundation and background of andragogy from a world perspective.

Educational Leadership and Policy Faculty Publications and Presentations

Using responses from a faculty satisfaction survey administered to full-time faculty at 10 …
