Knowles, the Father of Andragogy in the UnitedStates, died on November 27, 1997.Malcolm was one of the world’s leading scholar–practitioners ofadult learning. He was a member of a generation that experiencedthe fullest range of character-building phases the United States hasknown: a massive influx of immigrants, several wars, an economicdepression, waves of technological advances, the civil rights move-ment, the dominance of the knowledge worker, and an optimismabout the human spirit. While Malcolm participated in all this, hewas one of the thinkers and doers rising above the milieu and point-ing the way for a dynamic democracy. Equivalent leaders of his gen-eration, in such areas as economics, quality improvement, religion,and psychology, have finished their work and their legacy lives on inthe next generation. Malcolm’s early understanding of the impor-tance of adult learning has provided insight that will guide the pro-fessions dedicated to adult learning into the next millennium.Elwood F.

Our goal has been for it to remain a classic in thefield of adult learning and human resource development.We approached the task of continuing to update this classic bookwith care and thoughtfulness. In shaping this revision, we think it isstill important to preserve Malcolm’s works and thoughts as close totheir original form as possible. Thus, just as in the 5thedition, youwill find that Part 1 of this edition (Chapters 2-6), entitled “TheRoots of Andragogy,” are nearly identical to Chapters 1-5 of the 4thedition ofThe Adult Learner.We have done only minor copy edit-ing and formatting to preserve Malcolm’s original thinking. Chapter1 and Part 2 (Chapters 7-11), entitled “Advancements in AdultLearning,” are our new contributions to the book. In addition, Part 3,“Practice in Adult Learning” has been updated and expanded.Highlights of the sixth edition include bringing back material fromKnowles’ previous work covering his process model for program plan-ning; a completely new chapter on the Andragogy in Practice modelfirst introduced in the 5thedition; a new chapter on the Future ofAndragogy; the addition of the Personal Adult Learning Style Inventorydeveloped by Malcolm and previously sold by HRD Press; and addingreflection questions to the end of each chapter. We hope you will agreethat we have only improved upon the very successful 5thedition.Each of the three parts ofThe Adult Learnerhave their ownstyle. While the voices are varied, the messages are harmonious. The
