Abstract

In contrast with the early 20th century, there has been growing emphasis on academic research in adult education. However, recent publications in Canada indicate that university professors are only part of the research picture. Four themes are extracted from these publications which, together with several questions to foster reflection, can guide educational research into the next millennium.

Résumé

Contrairement à ce qui prévalait au début du siècle, on accorde aujourd'hui une importance croissante à la recherche universitaire en éducation des adultes. Or, des publications canadiennes laissent entendre que les professeurs d'université ne constituent qu'une partie du tableau de la recherche. Quatre thèmes sont dégagés de ces publications, de même que quelques questions favorisant la réflexion sur la recherche éducative dans leprochain millénaire.
