| Abstract | The career of "the father of adult education" in the U.S., Malcolm S. Knowles, was a phenomenon in itself. Although Knowles is the most referenced adult educator of his time (Sopher, 2003a), he has, at times, also been the most misunderstood adult educator in the U.S. Knowles’ (1989b) autobiography provided some insights into his writing style, his highly successful career, and his thinking, but it did not document the process of naming his collection of thoughts, his theory of adult education -the introduction of "andragogy" in the U.S. -nor did it provide context for a deeper understanding of the times, what influenced his thinking and his contribution to the field of adult education. Therefore in this paper and session, we will identify the major forces that influenced Knowles, which Knowles most likely influenced as well. |
