Malcolm shepherd Knowles, an American educator, was a key person in the practice and growth of the adult education. For the critical review, I have selected four readings of Knowles and focussed the following aspects: Themes/ideas that emerges in the chosen articles; Traditions of adult education; the educational practices that they want promote or encourage; Highlighting Knowles biography which shaped the his own ideas; Finally, in the critical thinking section, I analysed, evaluated the Knowles context and related with my current practice of facilitating adult learning in Australia.
