Starting from the empirical approach that characterises research in education, the course will teach students to:
- learn and understand lifelong learning procedures through the study of research on adult education;
- apply qualitative and quantitative research projects aiming at studying adult education;
- make autonomous judgements on the interpretation of the research results;
- be able to explain the results of research to specialists and non-specialists;
- study and learn in an autonomous way models and procedures for adult education.

teacher profile teaching materials
The course main objective is to teach students the theoretical and procedural aspects of research in adult education. Through the analysis of research in adult education, the course will focus on the historical and theoretical bases of experimental education from the origin until now; on the procedures for defining the research field, the methods and the data collecting tools, the data analysis and interpretation, the procedures for a critical revision of the hypotheses.
The laboratory and the seminar are integral parts of the course. The first will focus on international research on adult literacy; the latter will be devoted to reading and commenting on a classical text on education.
The whole course (lessons + laboratory + seminar) is worth 12 ECTS.
