This chapter assess the meaning of research in adult education and training, exploring themes such as the divergence of research traditions, the role of research paradigms and the relationship between research and practice. The tensions that occur when academic research broadens into a range of investigative activities aimed at improving theory and practice are examined. The message of the chapter is that research takes place in context and needs to make this context visible if knowledge that is meaningful is to be the outcome.
