This area of research examines the unique characteristics and needs of adult learners, as well as the various factors that influence their learning process such as motivation, prior experience, and learning styles. Researchers in adult learning explore topics such as adult development, lifelong learning, professional development, and the impact of technology on learning. They also investigate effective teaching methods and strategies for engaging and supporting adult learners in various settings, including formal education programs, workplace training, and community-based learning opportunities. Overall, the goal of research in adult learning is to enhance understanding of how adults learn and to inform the design of educational programs and policies that effectively meet the diverse learning needs of adult learners.
