Abstract

Lindeman published the first andragogy idea in America. It was later that Knowles got serious with andragogy by engaging numerous practitioners in successfully applying andragogy in 33 different groups within seven educational and societal categories. Henschke's Modified Instructional Perspectives Inventory (MIPI) helped substantiate Drinkard's finding that nurses schooled in an andragogy doctoral program are more trusting of students than nurses doctoral educated in nursing. The MIPI was used successfully in 30 doctoral dissertations. Bellamio from Xerox Corporation in Italy was a force in applying andragogy with Italian HRD professionals. Isenberg coupled andragogy with internet learning. Henschke successfully applied andragogy between 1985 and 2009 with 1,128 Brazilian adult educators in 28 workshops within 21 states in 36 entities. LeNoue et al. vigorously asserted that in a world increasingly characterized by digital connectivity, lifelong learning requires andragogues specialized in digitally mediated learning environments. This chapter explores all of this.
