Abstract
The irony of all theorising is its propensity to generate, not an understanding, but a not-yet-understood. (Oakshot, in Muller, 2015, p. 1)
Adult learning theory is one of the central domains of lifelong education research. Anyone coming to the study of adults as they adapt to and change in life, work and education will encounter theories such as ‘behaviourism’, ‘cognitive psychology’, and ‘humanist psychology’, often expanded to include adult-oriented variants considered under headings like ‘andragogy’ and ‘transformative learning’ (Illeris, 2018).
