Possible Areas of Research that could be best Carried out by Adult Learners

  • Learner satisfaction, how are adult learners consulted, are they happy with the way they are consulted, are they happy with the outcomes of that consultation?
  • In the promotion of learning, are adult learners used as promoters of learning, how are they used and how effective are they?
  • How can adult learners be motivated to become active participants in the governance of learning?
  • How can adult learners best influence policy and funding decisions?
  • How can adult learners act as advocates on behalf of other learners?
  • Can an adult learners’ forum be used to encourage the democratic process?
  • Would participating in an adult learners’ forum encourage good citizenship?
  • What are adult learners’ needs and do they differ from country to country?
  • Do the needs of the individual and the needs of the country differ and if they do, how can they be reconciled?
  • How can the resistance, of some policy makers and providers, to adult learners being seen as true partners in education be overcome?
  • Write an Adult Learners’ Charter that could be used across Europe and the World!
