Abstract

This paper examines the state of adult education research in Atlantic Canada. In the opinion of the writers, there is a great need for such research but little is being done and there is little funding for scholarly inquiry. The research that is being done relates to either personal interests or political issues such as the distribution of limited financial resources, rather than relating to social or educational issues.

Résumé

Cet article examine la situation de la recherche en éducation des adultes dans la région canadienne de l'Atlantique. Les auteurs croient que le besoin de recherche dans ce domaine est grand toutefois, ils constatent que peu est fait et que le financement disponible est restreint. La recherche qui est effectuée, découle soit d'interêts personnels, soit de préoccupations d'ordre politique comme la distribution de ressources financières limitées plutôt que de questions sociales ou éducatives.
