Abstract

Savicevic provided a critical consideration of fairly scientific andragogical concepts in 10 European countries, five each eastern and western. Knowles provided the most articulate American conception of andragogy with six assumptions and eight process elements, tested and refined with 12 entities. Knowles was criticized by Welton for neglecting democratic social action and Hartree failing his promise. Knowles' andragogy was supported from Long seeing its vibrant strength, Griffith on practice, Tough on warmth, Maehl on advocacy of learners, Isenberg on connecting internet learning, and Houle on learner-centeredness. Lindeman was the first to bring andragogy to the USA. Kessels and Peoll brought together such things as andragogy, self-directed learning (SDL), learning organization, and learning in the workplace. Merriam et al. suggested andragogy be replaced with ‘transformative learning' as the new andragogy. Henschke and Boucouvalas updated and published Malcolm's autobiographical journey. This chapter explores all of this.
